Judgment Day (2009)
The 2009 Judgment Day was the 11th and final Judgment Day professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brand divisions. The event took place on May 17, 2009, at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. Judgment Day was replaced by Over the Limit in 2010.
The event's card featured seven matches. The main event for the show saw Edge successfully defend SmackDown's World Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Hardy. In Raw's main match, WWE Champion Randy Orton was disqualified in a match against Batista and therefore retained as titles do not change hands via disqualification unless stipulated. In addition, John Cena defeated Big Show. The undercard for the show had four other singles matches: CM Punk versus Umaga, ECW Champion Christian defending the championship against Jack Swagger, John Morrison versus Shelton Benjamin, and Rey Mysterio defending SmackDown's Intercontinental Championship against Chris Jericho.
The event had 228,000 buys, down from the Judgment Day 2008 figure of 252,000 buys.
Judgment Day was first held by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as the 25th In Your House pay-per-view (PPV) in October 1998. It then returned in May 2000 as its own event, establishing Judgment Day as the promotion's annual May PPV. The 2009 event was the 11th event Judgment Day and was held on May 17 at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. It featured wrestlers from the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands.
The card included eight matches resulting from scripted storylines. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands, while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television shows, Raw, SmackDown, and ECW.
The main rivalry heading into Judgment Day from the Raw brand was between Randy Orton and Batista, who were feuding over the WWE Championship. Since January 2009, Orton had been feuding with the McMahon family, attacking Vince, Shane, and Stephanie McMahon en route to his match with Stephanie's husband Triple H for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 25, which Triple H won. At Backlash, Orton, along with his protégés, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr. (collectively known as The Legacy), defeated the defending WWE Champion Triple H, Batista, and Shane McMahon in a six-man tag team match to win the title. On the April 27 episode of Raw, Batista defeated Big Show via countout to earn a WWE Championship match against Orton at Judgment Day.
ECW's primary contribution to Judgment Day was announced on the April 28 episode of ECW on Sci Fi by the interim general manager of the show, Tiffany. She announced that ECW Champion, Christian, would be defending his championship against the previous champion, Jack Swagger, who had chosen to invoke his rematch clause guaranteed to him after losing the title at Backlash.
On the May 1 episode of SmackDown, a match took place to determine who would face Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship at Judgment Day. Jeff Hardy defeated Kane, Chris Jericho, and Rey Mysterio Jr. in a fatal four-way elimination match to become the number one contender.
