10 WWE Superstars Who Found Religion

2. Eddie Guerrero

Like so many wrestlers, Eddie Guerrero had his demons with drugs and alcohol throughout his career. Eddie almost overdosed twice but it didn't stop his partying ways: it was only after getting fired by the WWE following a stint in rehab that he realised he had to stop the abuse. Eddie had nothing when he got fired. He had lost his job, he was bankrupt and his wife was divorcing him. He hit rock bottom and turned to his Bible for help. Eddie described in his book how he refocused his energy on his wrestling and his spirituality since he had nothing else in his life. He would get up, train, read his bible, eat, work out, train and then finish off his day by reading more passages from his bible. It simplified Eddie's life and made him realise he had been neglecting some important things in the past, like his family. Eddie, inspired by his Christianity, put in some excellent performances on the independent circuit which helped him get his job back with the WWE. When Eddie returned to the WWE, he made no secret of his faith and referenced it in interviews and storylines.
