On this day in 2002, World Wrestling Entertainment aired ‘Judgment Day 2002’ LIVE on PPV from the Entertainment Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
This was the 1st ever WWE pay-per-view after the WWF/WWE name change on May 5th 2002, although a lot of the promotional material still had the old World Wrestling Federation Logo on it.
It was the 4th Judgment Day PPV out of 11 the WWF/WWE aired between 1998 and 2009.
This PPV featured the 1st WWE Championship change after the WWF/WWE name change.
