Judgment Day (2009)

Judgment Day (2009), a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), took place on May 17, 2009 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. It was the eleventh and final show under the Judgment Day name and the tenth show held annually; it featured talent from the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands. The event's card featured seven matches.

The main event for the show saw Edge successfully defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Hardy. Two other highly-publicized matches also occurred. The first pitted WWE Champion, Randy Orton, against Batista, which saw Orton get disqualified to retain his title. The other match was between Big Show and John Cena.

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 the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Chris Jericho.

Presented by Columbia Pictures' Terminator Salvation, the event had 228,000 buys, down from the Judgment Day 2008 figure of 252,000 buys.

Famous quotes containing the words judgment and/or day:

    In sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
    —Bible: Hebrew Genesis 3:16.

    God’s judgment on Eve.

    To get time for civic work, for exercise, for neighborhood projects, reading or meditation, or just plain time to themselves, mothers need to hold out against the fairly recent but surprisingly entrenched myth that “good mothers” are constantly with their children. They will have to speak out at last about the demoralizing effect of spending day after day with small children, no matter how much they love them.
