Sherilyn Guerrero recalls brotherly bond with CM Punk after Eddie Guerrero’s passing

Sherilyn Guerrero opened up about how she perceives CM Punk as an older brother who has assisted whenever needed. She also explains the Mysterio family’s impact in her life. 

In an interview on the Smoothvega Podcast, Guerrero talked about her relationship with CM Punk especially after her father’s passing. And emphasized how he’s been like  an older brother throughout. 

“So with CM Punk, I would go with him to his Make-A-Wishes, I would follow him around the ring. He was an older brother I needed after my dad passed away, and to see him was so heartwarming. We just hugged, I think when I saw Big show, JBL, I actually saw JBL in Bay City for the first time before you know the com the conventions and there’s a warm embrace I think they kind of feel my dad when they hug me so it’s a healing for both of us, for me it’s just like as a kid and for them it’s like I think I bring a presence of my dad with them so I hope it’s as heartwarming I think it is too. But I know CM Punk was like, ‘Don’t tell me you’re wrestling.’ I said, ‘I sure am,’ and he just embraced me.”

She also talked about Rey and Dominik Mysterio’s approachability for advice. 

“I really feel like it was just, it’s supposed to happen reconnecting and then seeing Rey. Luckily Dom is someone I can really go to. He gives great advice. He keeps it real and I love that. Rey will keep it real, but seeing them, it’s just a, yeah, it’s a hug. It’s a hug that I can’t forget. It’s a moment that without the cameras and anything that’s probably a core memory that I can hold on to.”

Guerrero began training at Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling school around October 2025. And is hopeful for an official in-ring debut this year. 

Eddie Guerrero’s daughter Sherilyn gives update on wrestling debut timeline

Sherilyn Guerrero — the daughter of late wrestling legend Eddie Guerrero — is gearing up to make her in-ring debut.

While being interviewed by The Magic of Wrestling, the 30-year-old Guerrero discussed training with Booker T as she aims to enter the ring. An ankle injury briefly set Guerrero back, but she’s back training and has found it to be an encouraging environment.

“I started training in around October, actually, and it was really cool. I got an ankle sprain in December so I had to sit out for a bit and then just start it back,” she said. “Something about recovery helps you kind of recalibrate your intention and things with this. And oh man, training is just different now. Coming back into it and the coaches I have, they’re so great in the ring and out the ring. 

“I hope that they all get that light they deserve because Booker has some really great people teaching their students and I’m so lucky. It absolutely is one of the greatest. Yeah, they have great people there. The coaches are great, they pour into their students in and out the ring. I don’t think anyone is scared to go to their coaches, everyone feels comfortable asking questions and trying things again because the coaches make it comfortable. And that’s so important.”

Guerrero anticipates her first match will happen before the end of 2026.

“Who knows? Definitely a debut this year for something,” she responded when asked about the timeline for her debut.

Reality of Wrestling, Booker T’s school where Guerrero is training, is a WWE ID-affiliated school. Current WWE Raw star Roxanne Perez is among the wrestlers the school has produced.

In addition to starting wrestling training, Guerrero has a YouTube channel where she posts vlogs. She recently interviewed Mick Foley about his memories of her father Eddie.

A daughter of the late WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero has begun training for a pro wrestling career.

Thank you everyone for all of the support, I knew waiting till the time was right was the best thing for me & here we are!! Fueled by fire & following this legacy with love… let’s get this journey man! VIVA LA RAZA

Sherilyn’s older sister Shaul was signed to WWE in two separate developmental stints from 2010 to 2014 in Florida Championship Wrestling and NXT, but never made the main WWE roster.

Sherilyn made news in 2023 when she accused her stepfather of sexual assault, a claim denied by Vickie and Kris Benson who then threatened legal action against her.

Vickie Guerrero & husband issue statement denying daughter’s sexual assault allegation

Vickie Guerrero and her husband have denied sexual assault allegations made by Guerrero’s daugher Sherilyn.

Guerrero and her husband Kris Benson have issued a statement on Vickie’s Instagram regarding her daughter’s allegations, denying them and asking for people to “withhold final judgment on this matter” until they bring the issue to “a court of law.”

“Kris and Vickie Benson vehemently deny Sherilyn Guerrero’s recent allegations of sexual assault and abandonment,” the statement reads. “Ms. Guerrero’s unsubstantiated accusations have caused the Bensons to suffer public ridicule, scorn, derision, and humiliation. Kris and Vickie fully appreciate the seriousness of allegations of this nature and the need for public support of sexual assault survivors; however, they ask that you withold final judgment on this matter until they have an opportunity to bring Ms. Guerrero and her claims into a court of law where judgment is based on facts and merit.”

In a TikTok video posted earlier this month, Sherilyn, the youngest daughter of Eddie Guerrero, accused Vickie’s second husband Benson of sexually assaulting her in 2020 while on a cruise. Sherilyn also said that her mother had cut off contact with her. Vickie initially responded to the allegations in a now-deleted Instagram post by accusing Sherilyn of being drunk while on the cruise and said she would see her in court, and they would no longer be related.

Shaul Guerrero, the oldest daughter of Vickie and Eddie, said that the sexual assault allegations that her sister had made were true in an Instagram post which has since been deleted.

“What my sister stated happened on the cruise was true. She did get SA’d by my stepfather,” Shaul wrote. “SA is NEVER okay and she has every right to talk about it. Was it rape…no. But it was unwanted touching which is absolutely unacceptable and traumatizing. This incident tore an even deeper wedge into our family than what was there before. My mother and sister have had a deeply tumultuous relationship for years, same with my sister and I. After this incident on the cruise we all went into various forms of therapy in order to heal.”

Shaul denied, however, Sherilyn’s accusations that her family had abandoned her.

“My sister has led the public to believe we abandoned her after the SA which is not true,” she wrote. “The family went into various forms of therapy and Mom & Kris helped Sherilyn get on her feet again by helping her financially as they have done for Sherilyn since she was 22. Does this solve the wounds-absolutely not, but she was not abandoned after this incident.”

Vickie Guerrero is still a part of AEW, where she manages Nyla Rose and Marina Shafir. However, she recently confirmed reports she will be leaving the company in July once her contract expires.
