10 Best WWE PPV/PLE Endings

The best WWE PPV/PLE endings ever

5. New Year's Revolution 2006

New Year’s Revolution 2006 had been a so-so pay-per-view – not particularly great, yet not outright terrible or anything – and looked set to end with John Cena retaining his WWE Title inside the Elimination Chamber, before history unfolded in front of our very eyes. 

As a knackered and bloodied Cena sat on the mat, Vince McMahon came out and informed him that Edge was taking the opportunity to cash in the guaranteed title shot he had earned due to winning the inaugural Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania some nine months prior. 

The Rated-R Superstar proceeded to take advantage of the champion’s wounded state, hitting him with two spears to clinch his first world title. 

It was a moment for the ages, not only because it pretty much put Adam Copeland in the Main Eventers Club for good, but because it established a trope that WWE have continued to use in the almost two decades since. 

People might not remember much of anything that happened at New Year’s Revolution 2006, but they certainly won’t forget how it ended.
