TNA Wrestling confirmed today that longtime pro wrestling great Chavo Guerrero Jr. will return to the company on Saturday, March 15, at the El Paso County Coliseum. Guerrero Jr. has not been inside a TNA ring since 2019.
Guerrero Jr. was born and raised in El Paso and is part of the legendary Guerrero family, long tied to El Paso, including a wrestling ring in the Guerreros’ backyard. Chavo played with his uncle Eddie Guerrero in that wrestling ring while practicing moves on each other long before each became worldwide names, each winning multiple championships in WCW and WWE.
In July 2012, TNA announced they had signed Guerrero. He quickly aligned himself with Hernandez. The two set their sights on the TNA World Tag Team Championship, a title they would win twice.
In late 2013, Guerrero collected a briefcase in the Feast or Fired match, which was revealed the following week to contain a pink slip, meaning he was fired from TNA. On September 13, 2019, he appeared at Impact Wrestling Operation Override Twitch special.
In the match, he defended his WCR Heavyweight Championship against MVP. Due to the disqualification finish, the two had a rematch at the following night’s Victory Road Impact Plus Monthly Specials.
The stars of TNA Wrestling will be in El Paso for two live events, March 14-15, including Sacrifice on March 14, airing live on the TNA+ app. All matches on March 15 will be taped for the company’s flagship weekly TV show, iMPACT! on AXS TV in the U.S., Sportsnet+ in Canada and TNA+ around the world.
The El Paso shows will also feature TNA World Champion Joe Hendry, TNA X-Division Champion Moose, TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich and others. TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys will be in El Paso, as well as Nic Nemeth, Mustafa Ali, Steve Maclin, Eric Young, Mike Santana, A.J. Francis, Frankie Kazarian, Ace Austin, Sami Callihan, Tessa Blanchard, Rosemary and Xia Brookside, among others.
