10 Greatest WWE Smackdown Brand PPVs

10. Armageddon 2006

A rather unconventional card that featured a 'guest appearance' from John Cena in the main event (WWE's cry of "please buy this pay-per-view from a brand we've kinda relegated"), Armageddon capped off a sneaky-solid year from the blue brand, in large part thanks to a gimmick match sprucing that everyone came to enjoy, save for one of the participants.

A Paul London/Brian Kendrick vs. William Regal/Dave Taylor Tag Team title match was amended at the last minute to include The Hardyz and MNM for a four-team ladder match, in which Joey Mercury nearly had his face shorn off.

Nonetheless, it was an incredible bout, while other title matches pitting Chris Benoit vs. Chavo Guerrero (United States) and Gregory Helms vs. Jimmy Yang (Cruiserweight) bolstered the card. Not many shows begin with an Inferno (MVP vs. Kane) match, but Armageddon sought to overachieve.
