– In this story on WWE.com about the Chavo/Rey Summerslam match, Vickie Guerrero is quoted as saying, in kayfabe: “My heart’s broken because I feel like my whole family’s falling apart … I love Rey and I love Chavo. Rey has been a special part of my life because he was Eddie’s close friend. Then there’s Chavito, who’s my nephew, and that’s special in itself. It’s breaking my heart that they can’t get along. With losing Eddie and then seeing how Chavo and Rey can’t get along, I feel like I’m losing both of them too … I just wish they would come to peaceful terms … If I can reach Teddy before SummerSlam, I’m going to plead my case [to call off the match] … I don’t want Rey and Chavito to go through with this because it’s not going to result in anything good and…I think Eddie would be happy too if they could forgive each other and move on.” The article also states that this match will have brought Chavo “out of retirement,” seemingly making him officially part of the Smackdown roster.
