Armageddon (2005)
2005 professional wrestling pay-per-view event
The 2005 Armageddon was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was the sixth Armageddon and took place on December 18, 2005, at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, Rhode Island, held primarily for wrestlers from the promotion's SmackDown! brand division.
The main event was a Hell in a Cell match between Randy Orton and The Undertaker, which Undertaker won by pinfall after performing a Tombstone piledriver. One of the predominant matches on the card was an interpromotional tag team match pitting SmackDown!'s WWE Tag Team Champions, Rey Mysterio and Batista, against Raw's World Tag Team Champions, Big Show and Kane, in a non-title champions versus champions match. Big Show and Kane won the match after Kane pinned Mysterio following a chokeslam. Another primary match on the undercard was Booker T versus Chris Benoit in the fourth match of their "Best of 7" series for the vacant WWE United States Championship. Benoit won the match after forcing Booker to submit with the Crippler Crossface, thus earning his first victory in the series.

Why this record matters
“Armageddon (2005)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Armageddon, professional and wrestling provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2597023. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005, 1999 and 2001.
Institutional narratives can privilege the records that survived while minimizing voices that were never formally collected. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
