Sherilyn Guerrero finally stepped into the ring for her first real wrestling match, and apparently being an Eddie Guerrero kid comes with certain instincts. She got her first win at Reality of Wrestling’s Fall Fury on November 14 — and she didn’t exactly do it the honest way.
Sherilyn faced Mystii Marks in her official in-ring debut, and she looked surprisingly comfortable for someone having match number one. The two went back and forth in an evenly paced match, with Sherilyn looking like a natural once the bell rang.
Then came the finish, and this is where things got very Guerrero. Marks tried to catch Sherilyn with a Gory Special, but Sherilyn escaped and turned it into a roll-up. She also decided a regular roll-up wasn’t quite enough, so she grabbed a handful of Marks’ tights for some extra insurance and kept her down for the three-count.
It was about as fitting of a finish as Sherilyn could have pulled off. Eddie made “Lie, Cheat and Steal” part of his identity, and his daughter using a little rule-breaking to steal her first victory immediately got the crowd celebrating with her.
This match had been brewing since October, when Sherilyn and Marks got into it during Reality of Wrestling’s Sherri Martel Classic. Marks blamed Guerrero for losing her match and eventually hit her, which led Sherilyn to grab a microphone and challenge her to settle things on November 14.
Sherilyn wasn’t exactly walking into this cold either. She attended Bayley’s Lodestone camp earlier this year and also spent time at WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando as she prepared to get into the family business. Nobody knows where Sherilyn takes this from here, but going 1-0 by grabbing the tights is one hell of a way for a Guerrero to introduce herself. Her dad probably would have appreciated that one.
