Vickie Guerrero was once one of WWE’s top heel managers, famously known for her “Sorry!” catchphrase. After leaving WWE in 2014, she joined AEW in 2019, aiming to continue her role as a heel manager but struggled to connect with AEW fans and ultimately left the company in 2023. Reflecting on her AEW tenure in an interview with Denise Salcedo, Guerrero praised the promotion but admitted that her character hadn’t evolved during her three years there and felt she wasn’t given enough opportunities. She explained, “A professional decision was to go to a place where I could become the character I wanted to be and appreciate the work I could present inside the ring.”
Her time in AEW was considered average, but off-screen controversies have overshadowed her career. A detailed Reddit thread recounted Guerrero’s career but focused heavily on her response to allegations that her youngest daughter, Sherilyn, was sexually assaulted by her now-husband, Chris Benson. Despite serious claims and support from Guerrero’s eldest son, Shaul, Vickie took legal action against Sherilyn, causing backlash from wrestling fans online.
Regardless of the controversies, rumors suggest Guerrero might return to WWE soon, possibly appearing at Evolution 2. How fans will receive her remains uncertain, but as a seasoned heel, Guerrero is likely accustomed to drawing boos.
Fan Take: Vickie Guerrero’s potential return to WWE could shake up the women’s division and bring a familiar, if controversial, presence back to mainstream wrestling. For AEW fans, her departure and the surrounding drama highlight how personal issues can impact a wrestler’s career and the complex dynamics behind the scenes in professional wrestling.
