Cena won the match and retained the WWE Championship after pinning Khali following an FU off a crane onto the arena floor.

One Night Stand was an annual pay-per-view (PPV), produced every June by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) since 2005.

The event was originally produced as a reunion show for wrestlers from the former Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion and featured hardcore-based matches, before WWE established a third brand dubbed ECW in 2006.

[3] The main feud heading into the event on the Raw brand, was between WWE Champion John Cena and The Great Khali.

[4] When Khali submitted to the STFU, however, his feet were underneath the bottom rope, meaning Cena should have broken the submission hold.

[8] On the May 25 episode of SmackDown!, General manager Theodore Long announced that Edge would defend the World Heavyweight Championship in a Steel Cage match at One Night Stand.

Batista won a Fatal Four-Way match against Finlay, Kane, and Mark Henry to face Edge at the pay-per-view.

Lashley won all four matches, defeating Chris Masters, Viscera, Umaga and Shane McMahon in succession.

[13] On the May 28 edition of Raw, Lashley teamed with WWE Champion John Cena to take on Umaga, Shane McMahon and The Great Khali in a Handicap match.

[14] Vince was scheduled to face Lashley in an arm wrestling contest on the June 2 edition of Saturday Night's Main Event XXXIV.

After the match, Orton attacked Van Dam, executing an Elevated DDT off the barricade onto the arena floor.

The Hardys had the advantage for most of the match, but as Jeff was climbing the ladder to try and grab the belts, Benjamin botched a springboard attempt.

The Hardys regained the advantage by pushing the ladder as The World's Greatest Tag Team were climbing it, causing Benjamin to fall to the floor.

[3][18] Next on the card was Mark Henry versus Kane in a Lumberjack match with twelve lumberjacks at ringside; Chris Benoit, Val Venis, Santino Marella, Balls Mahoney, Stevie Richards, The Miz, Kevin Thorn, Chris Masters, Johnny Nitro, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Kenny Dykstra and Carlito.

Team McMahon kept the upper hand, as Umaga performed a Samoan Drop onto Lashley, which was followed by a spear from Vince.

Edge gained the upper hand late in the contest, performing a spear to Batista, but didn't get the pinfall.

[3][22] The main event was a Falls Count Anywhere match for the WWE Championship, as John Cena defended against The Great Khali.

[25] On the June 25 edition of Raw, Vince McMahon revealed that his death was part of a storyline, and that Chris Benoit and his family were legitimately dead.

[26] Lashley, along with King Booker, Randy Orton and Mick Foley entered a feud with John Cena.

On the June 18 episode of Raw, all men began cutting promos on how they deserved to be the number one contender to the WWE Championship.

[27] On the June 8 episode of SmackDown!, Vince McMahon announced that Edge would be defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Batista in a "Last Chance" match at Vengeance: Night of Champions.

[28][29] On the June 22 episode of SmackDown!, Batista and Ric Flair defeated Edge and Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP).
