Encyclopedia
Cyber Sunday was the first annual Cyber Sunday professional wrestling
pay-per-view
(PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment
(WWE). It took place on November 5, 2006 at the U.S. Bank Arena
in Cincinnati, Ohio, with 7,000 fans attending. It replaced the previous Taboo Tuesday event, and had the same concept.

Fans could vote, via WWE's official website, for selective characteristics in the scheduled matches, including opponents, stipulations, match types, etc. The voting for the event started on October 16, 2006, and ended during the event.

John Cena
, World Heavyweight Champion
King Booker
, and ECW World Champion
The Big Show
. The fans could vote for who would defend their championship in this match. Booker won the match by pinning Cena following interference from Kevin Federline
. The predominant match on the card was D-Generation X
(Triple H
and Shawn Michaels
) versus Rated-RKO
(Edge and Randy Orton
). Rated-RKO won the match after Orton pinned Triple H following an RKO onto a steel chair
. The featured matches on the undercard were Jeff Hardy
versus Carlito for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
and Lita
versus Mickie James
in a Diva Lumberjack match for the WWE Women's Championship
.
The main feud
heading into Cyber Sunday was between WWE Champion
John Cena
, World Heavyweight Champion
King Booker
, and ECW World Champion The Big Show
, the top champion of each of the three brands. This feud began on the October 9 edition of Raw
, where they came face to face, arguing about who was the most dominant champion in WWE. WWE Chairman Vince McMahon
interrupted, and booked a triple threat "Champion of Champions" match at Cyber Sunday between the three of them. This also gave each show's General Manager an opportunity to choose opponents for each other's champion that night. This resulted in Big Show defeating Jeff Hardy
and Booker defeating Rob Van Dam
; however, the match between Cena and The Undertaker was interrupted by Booker, Big Show, and The Undertaker's storyline
rival, Mr. Kennedy. At the same time, Cena began a minor feud with Kevin Federline
. Federline, as the on-screen close friend of Johnny Nitro and Melina
's, appeared on Raw to promote his album, "Playing With Fire
". Cena rapped
about Federline, but Nitro came out to Federline's defense and was thrown out of the ring by Cena. Cena was then interrupted by his two Cyber Sunday opponents, and McMahon who announcemed that a championship would be on the line at Cyber Sunday. Cena performed the FU on Federline, after being insulted. The feud between the champions continued on the October 20 edition of SmackDown!, when Big Show and Cena were at ringside during Booker's title defense against Batista. Batista speared Booker onto Big Show, who, in response, assaulted Batista, ending the match via disqualification. Cena then joined the brawl, and SmackDown! General Manager Theodore Long
announced a tag team
match for the next week. On the next Raw, Cena defeated Nitro after an FU, but was assaulted afterwards by his Cyber Sunday opponents, who turned on each other shortly after to start a brawl between the four to end the show. Batista and Cena were successful in the tag team match, after Big Show abandoned Booker. The next week, on Raw, a preview of Cyber Sunday's interactivity was displayed when fans voted for Cena's opponent for the night, between Big Show, Booker, and Jonathan Coachman
. Coachman won in the voting, but was easily defeated by Cena.
The main feud on the undercard was between D-Generation X
(Triple H
and Shawn Michaels
) and Rated-RKO
(Edge and Randy Orton
). The feud began to develop on the October 9 edition of Raw, when Edge convinced Orton that Triple H was the reason for their unsuccess. Orton lost the World Heavyweight Championship to Triple H in 2004, and Edge lost a title match due to interference from DX the previous week. This led to Edge and Orton joining forces. On the next edition of Raw, Edge praised Mr. McMahon's booking skills and suggested that he and Orton have a match with DX at Cyber Sunday where fans could choose a special guest referee
. Mr. McMahon liked the idea, and decided for the options to be Coachman, Eric Bischoff
, and himself. The following week, Orton pinned Triple H in a match after hitting Triple H in the head with a steel chair
. Coachman had been the special guest referee, but Michaels superkicked him after he tried to count the pinfall, after Edge had interfered. On October 30, McMahon, Coachman, and Bischoff were guests on Edge's talkshow, The Cutting Edge, and McMahon booked a match between Orton and Triple H for later that night, with Edge as the guest referee. Before the match could start, however, Triple H performed a Pedigree on Edge, meaning he couldn't officiate. Edge recovered and interfered, meaning the match ended in a no-contest. Edge and Orton attacked Triple H with steel chairs, until Triple H got his sledgehammer
and retaliated.
, Super Crazy
pinned Rob Conway. The first match that aired on pay-per-view
was Umaga
versus Kane
who had won the vote with 49%. The match quickly moved to the outside, where Umaga missed a Samoan Spike, instead hitting the ringpost, and Kane slammed him into the ring steps. Kane took control hitting two Corner Clotheslines, but Umaga was able to counter with a Samoan Drop. Kane performed a Back Suplex, before going to the top rope for his Diving Clothesline. Umaga retaliated with a Clothesline of his own, before performing a Samoan Spike to gain the pinfall victory.
The second match was the Texas Tornado match between Cryme Tyme
, the Highlanders
, Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch, and Charlie Haas
and Viscera
. The match began with the Highlanders and Cade and Murdoch brawling on the outside, and Cryme Tyme and Haas and Viscera on the inside. The Highlanders quickly gained the advantage in the match, and cleared the ring, before performing stereo Planchas to the outside. After this, Haas and Viscera begin to take control, until Viscera accidentally hit Haas, and was thrown to the outside. Cade and Murdoch then performed their Sweet and Sour on Robbie of the Highlanders, but were thrown out of the ring by Cryme Tyme, who then pinned Robbie for the victory. After the match in keeping with their "street thug" gimmick, Cryme Tyme stole the color commentator, Jerry Lawler's laptop. The next match was the Intercontinental Championship
match between the champion, Jeff Hardy
, and Carlito
, who earned 62% of the vote. After a handshake, both men attamepted quick pinning combinations, including a Backslide by Carlito. Carlito dominated and blocked a Swanton Bomb by raising his knees. Carlito performed a Springboard Corkscrew Senton, but only got a two-count and Hardy was able to perform his Whisper in the Wind. Hardy climbed to the top rope, and when Carlito attempted to stop him, Carlito was pushed to the floor. Hardy performed the Swanton Bomb to get the three count, and retain the Intercontinental Championship.
The fourth match was the tag team match between Rated-RKO
, Edge and Randy Orton
and D-Generation X
(DX), Shawn Michaels
and Triple H
, with Eric Bischoff
, with 60% of the vote, as special guest referee. Michaels quickly took control of Edge, before tagging in Triple H. After back and forth action, Orton and Edge gained control over Michaels after they pulled him into the ringpost. While Bischoff was preventing Triple H from entering the ring, Rated-RKO continued to double team Michaels, and Orton performed a Backbreaker. Edge attempted to perform a Spear on Michaels but hit Bischoff instead. Referee Chad Patton entered the ring to replace Bischoff, and after a Spear and RKO to Triple H, Orton only got a two-count. Orton attempted another RKO on Triple H, but Michaels interrupted and superkicked him. Bischoff prevented Patton from counting the pin, and Michaels pursued him, until he was hit with a steel chair
by Edge. Orton then performed an RKO on Triple H, onto the steel chair, and Bischoff made the three-count.
The next match was the final of the tournament for the WWE Women's Championship
between Lita
and Mickie James
. The match was a Lumberjill match, which gained 46% of the vote. The match begun with both Divas throwing the other to the outside, to try and gain an advantage.

. The sixth match was the World Tag Team Title match between The Spirit Squad
, and Ric Flair

After the match, Flair, Piper, Slaughter, and Rhodes celebrated in the ring after stopping the Spirit Squad from attacking Flair and Piper.

Soon, however, Booker and Cena combined to clothesline Big Show over the top rope, and they began to fight. Cena tried an FU, but it was countered into a DDT by Booker. Big Show re-entered the ring, and performed a chokeslam
on Booker. He attempted to put Cena through the announce table with a chokeslam, but Cena countered and threw him into the ringpost. Back inside the ring, Cena performed an FU on Queen Sharmell when she attempted to hit him with a title belt.
