Chavo Guerrero addresses tribalism among wrestling fans

Posted: Jun 14th 2026 By: Shounak Chakribarti

The 55-year-old Chavo Guerrero has commented on the existing feeling of tribalism among wrestling fans.

Pro-wrestling fans have been extremely vocal about their likes and dislikes on social media. However, this has often turned into a feeling of tribalism, where fans of one particular promotion tend to hate the other.

Former WWE wrestler and current AAA producer, Chavo Guerrero, recently addressed this issue and shared his thoughts on it.

In a recent interview with Gabby AF, Guerrero spoke about a possible crossover scenario in wrestling, where the WWE Champion could face the AEW Champion. However, discussing this hypothetical scenario, the topic of an existing feeling of tribalism among wrestling fans came up, and how they would never let that happen.

“I don’t understand that, why people do that. I get that you have people like WWE more, AEW more, whatever. But wrestling’s wrestling. I don’t like when the fans criticize somebody else just because they don’t like the brand. If it’s a damn good match, I don’t care if it was on TNA, in New Japan [Pro Wrestling], AAA, I don’t care if it’s an indie show. If it’s a good match, it’s a damn good match,” Guerrero said.

“There’s people like John Cena who was only a WWE guy. If people who like other organizations, they don’t like John Cena. I’m like, ‘Why?’ Because he never wrestled in AEW or TNA or whatever. If he puts on a good match, he puts on a good match. There’s a reason why people really love Rey Mysterio is because he’s kind of wrestled everywhere. He’s gone other places,” he further added. “He came from different places. So he’s got his fandom, people love him. Probably not just for his matches, but for him wrestling other places. But guys like MJF, MJF is really an AEW guy. So don’t hate on him when you’re a WWE person. He’s pretty damn good. He’s great.“
