– On this day in Pro Wrestling history in 2006, Edge won the WWE Championship by defeating Rob Van Dam and John Cena on an episode of Monday Night Raw. This Title change happened because RVD (along with Sabu) was stopped for speeding and was caught with 18 grams of marijuana, nine Testolactone pills, five Vicodins and more drugs the previous night. This also led to RVD dropping the ECW Title to The Big Show the next night and then he got suspended for a month.

– On this day in Pro Wrestling history in 2010, Brock Lesnar defeated Shane Carwin at UFC 116 in the 2nd round via submission to become the undisputed UFC Heavyweight Champion.
