Sherilyn Guerrero is finally stepping into the squared circle—and now we know why she waited so long.
The daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero is currently training at Booker T’s Reality of Wrestling school, but she made it clear this isn’t just about family ties. In a recent interview on The Hardy Wrestling Podcast, Sherilyn explained the personal journey that led her to finally follow in her legendary father’s footsteps.
Sherilyn revealed that despite growing up surrounded by wrestling, she initially had no interest in following her famous family’s path.
“I grew up kind of not wanting to be in wrestling because my mom went into it, then my sister went into it, and I felt like maybe I was okay staying away from it.”
That all changed in 2025, when she had conversations with other second-generation talent like Zilla Fatu, Roman Reigns—ones who reminded her of the deeper meaning behind legacy.
“This year I met Zilla Fatu, Roman, and a few other wrestlers who really helped instill in me how wrestling runs in our blood. Especially thinking about his father and my dad—they truly lived wrestling and put their whole hearts into it.”
Even though fans had been calling for her to debut for years, she said her father kept them humble—something that made her hesitate.
“Fans have always asked me, ‘When are you going to start wrestling?’ But my dad kept us so humble that I always thought, no, not me.”
But the moment she stepped inside Reality of Wrestling’s training center—run by Booker T—it all clicked.
“After talking things through and getting in the ring at Reality of Wrestling, something just felt right. It felt natural.”
Sherilyn says she quickly realized wrestling wasn’t just about carrying a name—it was about embodying the values behind it.
“Learning about legacy and how to carry it forward goes beyond wrestling. It’s about character and how you treat people.”
With time, self-confidence, and the support of fellow wrestlers, she now feels ready to fully embrace the business.
“The more confidence I gain to be my full, authentic self, the more I feel like I belong in this business. There’s nothing else I’d rather do—I can’t be anything otherwise.”
Sherilyn also revealed she’s had the blessing of Rey and Dominik Mysterio, who encouraged her to move forward.
“I’ve talked to Rey and Dom, and they’ve told me this is what I should do and that they fully support me. That means a lot.”
Sherilyn Guerrero is ready to step out of the shadows and into her own story. Her last name might be legendary—but this next chapter is hers to write.
