20 Greatest WWE SmackDown Superstars Ever

12. Eddie Guerrero

The Rock SmackDown Fox

Eddie Guerrero's last ever match on SmackDown saw him play a pretend babyface and heel in the very same match, lying and cheating in order to claim victory over Mr Kennedy. It was, fittingly, a greatest hits package from his time on the blue brand.

A gifted and fabulously entertaining performer beyond his pro wrestling roots, Eddie maximised his minutes on the B-show to such an extent that he became an A-level talent. His overdue WWE Championship reign in 2004 was a joy to behold, whilst his heel turn on Rey Mysterio was scintillatingly sinister even when it did get a little silly.
