Chris Benoit is said to be considering his new contract.

The WWE dedicated both shows taped on 10.13.05 to Eddie Guerrero. RAW (aired on 10.14.05) and Smackdown (aired on 10.18.05) were mere hours after Eddie's death. RAW (aired on 10.14.05) started with a video collage of highlights of Eddie Guerrero's life with the Johnny Cash version of the Nine Inch Nails classic Hurt (recorded by Johnny Cash months before his own death). All matches were between RAW and Smackdown wrestlers. Most wrestlers wore black arm bands with the initials EG and were at brink of crying, even tough guys like Jean-Paul "Triple H" Levesque and Paul "Big Show" Wight. Between matches, there were video clips of various wrestlers and WWE personalities remembering Eddie Guerrero.

Right after Eddie Guerrero's death, the WWE released new guidelines to control drug abuse for all WWE wrestlers. The WWE has tried not to give the impression that these two events are not related. The WWE even responded to accusations from the media that painted Guerrero's death as an overdose. The WWE could not have chosen a worse time to release its new guidelines that would allow the WWE to fire anyone found abusing drugs.

On 11.29.05, Ric Flair was arrested for road rage an other charges that may include assault, battery and injury to personal property charges in Charlotte, NC, as reported by thesmokingun.com.

During the PPV, several wrestlers made several small tributes to the late Eddie Guerrero who died earlier in the day. On the same event, Raven defeated PJ Polaco. 3Live Kru defeated Team Canada. "The Alpha Male" Monty Brown defeated Jeff Hardy to become the number one contender for the NWA world heavyweight title.

Because no one in the WWE ever mentions TNA by name and vice versa, no one on a TNA show said what they felt about Eddie Guerrero's death. Nonetheless some people in the audience had Eddie Guerrero's signs during Impact (aired on 11.19.05, taped on 11.15.05).
