The 2005 Taboo Tuesday was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was the second annual Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday and took place on Tuesday, November 1, 2005, at the iPayOne Center in San Diego, California, held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division. The concept was that it was an interactive pay-per-view in which fans could vote on aspects of the matches, like stipulations or participants. The voting started on October 24, 2005, through WWE's official website and ended during the broadcast. This was the final event titled Taboo Tuesday, as the following year, the event was moved to the traditional Sunday nights for PPVs and was renamed as Cyber Sunday. Eight professional wrestling matches were featured on the event's card. The main event was a triple threat match, for the WWE Championship. In this match, John Cena defeated Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels to retain his title. Two bouts were featured on the undercard. In a retrospective singles match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, Ric Flair defeated Triple H in a Steel Cage match, in which Flair won by escaping the cage and having both feet touch the arena floor. The other featured an interpromotional tag team match where Rey Mysterio and Matt Hardy (SmackDown!) defeated Chris Masters and Snitsky (Raw). Taboo Tuesday received 174,000 pay-per-view buys, which was the same amount as the previous year's event. The professional wrestling section of the Canadian Online Explorer website rated the entire event 7 out of 10 stars, higher than the 2004 event rating of 5 out of 10 stars.
