On this day in Pro Wrestling history in 2005, WWE Judgment Day 2005 PPV took place & was a SmackDown-exclusive event. 4 Titles were on the line & no title change took place.
The main event was an “I Quit” match for the WWE Championship between then WWE Champion John Cena & JBL. This was one of the most bloodiest matches in WWE history with Cena’s face completely covered in blood by the end of the match.
In other title matches, MNM defeated Hardcore Holly & Charlie Haas to retain the WWE Tag Team Titles, Paul London defeated Chavo Guerrero to retain the WWE Cruiserweight Title, Orlando Jordan defeated Heidenreich to retain the WWE United States Title.
Below are the results from the PPV:
* MNM (Joey Mercury & Johnny Nitro) def. Hardcore Holly & Charlie Haas to retain the WWE Tag Team Titles
