Encyclopedia
One Night Stand was the third annual One Night Stand
professional wrestling
pay-per-view
(PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment
(WWE). It took place on June 3, 2007 at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena
in Jacksonville, Florida
and featured talent from the Raw
, SmackDown!, and ECW brands
. The event was the final to announce each individual brand as co-promoters of the event during the introductory graphics.
The main match on the Raw brand was John Cena
versus The Great Khali in a Pinfalls Count Anywhere match for the WWE Championship
. Cena won the match and retained the WWE Championship after pinning Khali following an FU off a crane
onto the arena floor. The featured match on the SmackDown! brand was Edge versus Batista in a Steel Cage match for the World Heavyweight Championship
, which Edge won after escaping the cage.
The primary match on the ECW brand was Vince McMahon
versus Bobby Lashley in a Street Fight
for the ECW Championship, which Lashley won by pinfall after performing a spear. The featured matches on the undercard included Rob Van Dam
versus Randy Orton
in a Stretcher match and a Ladder match
for the World Tag Team Championship between The Hardys

heading into One Night Stand
on the Raw
brand
was between John Cena
and The Great Khali, with the two battling over the WWE Championship
. This was a rematch of their encounter at Judgment Day
, the pay-per-view
two weeks before One Night Stand. At the event, Cena defeated Khali by forcing him to submit to the STFU. When Khali submitted to the STFU, however, his feet were underneath the bottom rope, meaning Cena should have broken the submission hold. Referee Mike Chioda
was focusing on Khali's arm and did not see Khali's feet underneath the bottom rope. The following night on Raw, believing he should not have lost the match, Khali challenged Cena to a Pinfalls Count Anywhere match. Following Cena's acceptance, Khali performed a Chokebomb on Cena. Heading into One Night Stand, Khali used the Chokebomb again to win a non-title match against Cena on the June 2 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event
.
The predominant feud on the SmackDown! brand heading into the pay-per-view was between Edge and Batista, with the two battling over the World Heavyweight Championship
. The two fought each other at Judgment Day for the title, and Edge won the bout with a school boy pin. On the May 25 episode of SmackDown!, General Manager Theodore Long
announced that Edge would defend the World Heavyweight Championship in a Steel Cage match at One Night Stand. Batista won a Fatal Four-Way match against Finlay
, Kane
, and Mark Henry
to earn the spot of the challenger at the pay-per-view. Batista was a guest on Edge's talk show
The Cutting Edge on the June 1 episode of SmackDown!. Towards the end of the segment, Batista punched
Edge and sent him to the floor. The following night, on Saturday Night's Main Event, Batista and Chris Benoit
defeated Edge and Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) in a tag team
match. During the match, Edge walked out, leaving MVP on his own against Batista and Benoit. Benoit gained the pinfall after performing a flying headbutt on MVP.
The other primary feud featured on the One Night Stand card consisted of both Raw and ECW superstars. ECW's Bobby Lashley battled Raw's Vince McMahon
for the ECW World Championship. Lashley faced Team McMahon
(ECW World Champion Vince McMahon, Shane
, and Umaga
) in a 3-on-1 tag team
Handicap match at Judgment Day, with the ECW World Championship on the line. Lashley won the match, pinning Shane after a Dominator powerslam. After the match, however, Vince declared that Lashley had not won the title and that he was still the ECW World Champion, as he had not been pinned. In the match, Lashley could have won the title, but not a member of Team McMahon. The following night, on the May 21 edition of Raw, Lashley was put into a Gauntlet match by Vince McMahon, with the stipulation that if he won all four of the matches in the gauntlet, he would face Vince at One Night Stand. Lashley won all four matches, defeating Chris Masters
, Viscera
, Umaga and Shane McMahon in succession. As a result, Lashley gained a title shot at One Night Stand in a Street Fight
. On the May 28 edition of Raw, Lashley teamed with WWE Champion John Cena to take on Umaga, Shane McMahon and The Great Khali in a Handicap match. Shane won the match, pinning Lashley after an elbow drop. Vince was scheduled to face Lashley in an arm wrestling
contest on the June 2 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event. Moments before the contest began, however, Vince booked Mark Henry
as Lashley's opponent instead. During the contest, Vince attacked Lashley, hitting him with a steel chair
.
in a dark match.
The first match that aired was a Stretcher match between Randy Orton
and Rob Van Dam
, in which the object is to place your opponent on a stretcher
and wheel the stretcher across a finish line. The match went back and forth before Van Dam attempted to perform a Somersault Plancha onto Orton, but Orton moved out of the way. Orton put Van Dam on the stretcher and tried to wheel him across the finishing line. Van Dam, however, managed to kick Orton in the head and put him onto the stretcher. Van Dam wheeled the stretcher over the line for the win. After the match, Orton attacked Van Dam, executing an Elevated DDT off the barricade
onto the arena floor. Van Dam was then carried out of the arena on the stretcher.
Next was a Tables match, as CM Punk
and The ECW Originals
(Tommy Dreamer
and The Sandman
) faced The New Breed
(Elijah Burke
, Matt Striker and Marcus Cor Von
). In order to win the match, one team must put a member of the other team through a table. Towards the end of the contest, Cor Von attempted to put Punk through the table with an Alpha Bomb, but Sandman hit Cor Von with a Singapore cane
. With Burke on the table, Punk performed a suplex on Striker off the top rope and through the table and Burke, thus winning the contest.
The third match was a Ladder match
for the World Tag Team Championship, as The Hardys
(Matt
and Jeff
) faced The World's Greatest Tag Team
(Shelton Benjamin
and Charlie Haas
). The object of the match is to climb a ladder and retrieve the title belts suspended above the ring. The Hardys had the advantage for most of the contest, but as Jeff was climbing the ladder to try and grab the belts, Benjamin botched
a springboard attempt. Benjamin managed to kick the ladder from underneath Jeff, however, to gain control. The Hardys managed to regain the advantage by pushing the ladder as The World's Greatest Tag Team were climbing it, which in turn caused Benjamin to fall to the arena floor. Jeff performed a Swanton bomb on Haas as Matt climbed up the ladder to get the belts and win the match.
Next on the card was Mark Henry
versus Kane

passed out.
The ECW World Championship match was next, as ECW Champion Vince McMahon
(accompanied
by Shane McMahon
and Umaga
) faced Bobby Lashley in a Street Fight
. Shane and Umaga interfered in the match, helping Vince gain the advantage. Shane performed a flying elbow drop, sending Lashley through the announce table at ringside. Back inside the ring, as Umaga was holding a trash can in front of Lashley's face in the corner, Shane attempted to execute the Coast-to-Coast dropkick; however, Lashley moved out of the way, and Shane dropkicked the trash can into Umaga's face. Team McMahon
kept the upper hand, as Umaga performed a Samoan Drop onto Lashley, which was followed by a spear from Vince. Lashley, however, gained the upper hand by hitting Vince several times with a steel chair
. Lashley performed a spear on Shane and followed with a spear to Vince before pinning Vince to gain the victory and become the new ECW World Champion.
A Pudding match was next, as Candice Michelle
faced WWE Women's Champion
Melina
. Michelle forced Melina to submit by holding her head under the pudding. This was followed by Edge versus Batista in a Steel Cage match for the World Heavyweight Championship
, which could be won by either pinfall, submission, or escaping the cage. During the first few minutes of the contest, Edge attempted to escape the cage several times but was stopped by Batista. Batista gained the advantage after a suplex to Edge off the top rope. Edge gained the upper hand late in the contest, performing a spear to Batista, but failed to get the pinfall. Batista regained the advantage and attempted to perform the Batista Bomb
, but Edge reversed the move. Edge climbed over the top of the cage while Batista crawled towards the door. Edge's feet hit the arena floor first, and he was declared the winner and retained his title.
The final match was a Pinfalls Count Anywhere match for the WWE Championship
, as John Cena
defended against The Great Khali. Khali had control for most of the contest, performing a spin kick and a leg drop
onto Cena. The contest went into the crowd, as Khali hit Cena with a television monitor
. Cena gained the advantage, swinging the boom camera
by the crew set
into Khali. Cena attempted to perform the FU, but Khali blocked it with his elbow. Khali regained the upper hand, scoop slamming Cena onto a crane
. Cena fought back while on the crane and performed an FU to Khali off the crane onto the arena floor. Cena got the pinfall and the victory.
's "death" began the following night on Raw. He appeared traumatized from losing the ECW World Championship, acting strangely as a result. This behavior continued in McMahon's appearances on all brands and culminated in a segment on the June 11 edition of Raw with McMahon entering a limousine moments before it exploded. On the June 25 edition of Raw, Vince McMahon revealed that his death was part of a storyline, and that Chris Benoit
and his family were legitimately dead. The show, originally scheduled to be a three hour special dedicated to McMahon's "death," was dedicated to Benoit and highlighted matches throughout his career.
The WWE Draft
also took place on Raw and resulted in The Great Khali being drafted to SmackDown!, thus ending his feud with John Cena
. Bobby Lashley was drafted to Raw and was forced to relinquish his ECW World Championship. Lashley, along with King Booker
, Randy Orton
and Mick Foley
entered a feud with John Cena. On the June 18 episode of Raw, all men began cutting promos on how they deserved to be the number one contender to the WWE Championship. Acting General Manager Jonathan Coachman
announced that all five men would be scheduled to compete at Vengeance

On the June 8 episode of SmackDown!, Vince McMahon announced that Edge would be defending the World Heavyweight Championship

defeated Edge and Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP). Midway through the match, Flair and MVP brawled outside the ring, leaving Edge on his own against Batista. Batista gained the pinfall after hitting Edge with a Batista Bomb.
As part of the WWE Draft, Chris Benoit
was drafted from SmackDown! to ECW. In his debut on the ECW brand, Benoit teamed up with CM Punk
in a tag team
match against Elijah Burke
and Marcus Cor Von
, in which Benoit and Punk won. On the June 19 episode of ECW, an ECW qualifying match was held in which it would determine the opponents for Vengeance for the vacant ECW title. The first qualifying match saw Benoit defeat Elijah Burke by submission and thus for advancing to the Vengeance finals.
