WWE is preparing a heartfelt homage to the legendary Eddie Guerrero on Night Two of SummerSlam 2025, as Dominik Mysterio plans to honor his late uncle with a special entrance that channels the spirit of “Latino Heat.” According to multiple backstage reports, including Fightful Select and PWMania, Dominik’s entrance will feature signature elements from Guerrero’s memorable WWE appearances — most notably a lowrider car — recreating the atmosphere that made Eddie one of wrestling’s most beloved icons[2][4].

Eddie Guerrero, a WWE Hall of Famer who passed away in 2005, left an indelible mark on professional wrestling with his charisma, technical prowess, and deep connection with fans. Dominik Mysterio, currently one of WWE’s rising stars and sometimes known for carrying forward his family legacy, has made it a point to honor Eddie not only through his in-ring style but also in personal tributes[5]. This SummerSlam entrance is a highly anticipated moment, expected to be a nostalgic yet powerful celebration of Eddie’s life and influence.

The planned tribute reportedly aims to capture the essence of Guerrero’s classic “Latino Heat” persona, utilizing the iconic lowrider car, which was a hallmark of Eddie’s entrances during his peak WWE years in the early 2000s. This move is designed to evoke memories for longtime fans and introduce newer audiences to the cultural significance Eddie brought to WWE programming[4]. As per one insider source speaking to PWMania, “Dominik has been deeply involved in crafting this tribute, wanting to do justice to his uncle’s legacy, ensuring everything from the music to the car feels authentic and respectful.”

SummerSlam has a history of paying tribute to Guerrero, as seen in commemorations on past anniversaries, which have moved fans worldwide. With almost two decades passing since Eddie’s untimely death, these moments serve not only as remembrance but also as education for the newer generation of WWE enthusiasts[1]. Dominik’s gesture is seen as the latest continuation of this tradition, underscoring the lasting impact Eddie Guerrero has had on wrestling culture.

The tribute fits into a broader narrative of legacy and family within WWE. Dominik, son of Rey Mysterio, is uniquely positioned to bridge eras — combining his family’s lucha libre heritage with Eddie’s storied contributions. WWE.com highlights how Dominik has increasingly embraced his role as a custodian of this combined lineage, and this tribute at SummerSlam is a clear statement of that commitment[5].

In addition to Dominik’s tribute, SummerSlam Night Two’s card features several other high-profile matches, including a highly anticipated Street Fight between Cody Rhodes and John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship. While focus is naturally drawn to the championship bout, insiders note that the respect paid by Dominik to Eddie Guerrero will provide a poignant emotional moment amid the action-packed night[3].

According to Fightful Select, WWE is keeping many details about the entrance deliberately under wraps to preserve the surprise for viewers and maximize the impact in the arena. This approach aligns with WWE’s recent strategy of tightly controlling spoilers and enhancing live-show excitement[2].

Sources close to WWE also revealed that Dominik has been working closely backstage with WWE producers and creative teams to ensure the tribute’s authenticity. “This isn’t just an entrance; it’s a tribute that means everything to Dominik personally and holds deep significance for wrestling fans everywhere,” one WWE insider told PWMania. “He’s taking the responsibility seriously, and the result will be something special that honor’s Eddie’s legacy in a way words alone can’t”[4].

This tribute entrance comes on the heels of Dominik’s recent public homage to Eddie Guerrero, including a heartfelt visit to Guerrero’s gravesite earlier this year, which was widely shared and praised across wrestling media[5]. Such gestures have cemented Dominik as one of the leading figures dedicated to preserving Eddie’s memory both inside and outside the ring.

For wrestling fans worldwide, this SummerSlam moment, blending past and present, promises to be a uniquely emotional highlight. It serves as a reminder of Eddie Guerrero’s unparalleled influence on WWE and the enduring love that his family and fans continue to have for the “Latino Heat” legend.

As WWE SummerSlam 2025 continues to evolve as an event brimming with memorable surprises, Dominik Mysterio’s deliberate, passionate tribute will stand out as a defining, heartfelt homage to one of the greatest performers in WWE history. Fans and critics alike eagerly await seeing how the legendary Guerrero spirit will come alive once again under the SummerSlam lights.
