Before there was Bragging Rights, the late-October pay per view spot once belonged to a pay per view known as Taboo Tuesday, which later became Cyber Sunday. So before the Raw and SmackDown Divas wage war on each other tonight, let’s take a look back at some of those past pay per views:
2004
Fulfill Your Fantasy Battle Royal
In 2004, the Raw brand introduced an interactive concept that allowed WWE viewers to vote for stipulations for each of the matches. Women’s Champion, Trish Stratus defended her title in a battle royal against Molly Holly, Stacy Keibler, Victoria, Jazz, Gail Kim and Nidia. The stipulation, as voted for by the fans, was for the Divas to wear school girl outfits.
More after the cut:
2005
Fulfill Your Fantasy Battle Royal
The battle royal returned in 2005 for a second year and once again, Women’s Champion Trish defended her gold. But this time it was against Ashley, Mickie James, Maria, Victoria and Candice Michelle. Talent pool severely down from last year, no? The fans voted for the Divas to compete in lingerie.
2006
Women’s Championship: Lita vs Mickie James
After two years of Taboo Tuesday, it was all change in 2006. The pay per view had now become Cyber Sunday and the Diva who had dominated the previous two years of the PPV, Trish Stratus had retired a month before Cyber Sunday 2006. Her vacated Women’s Championship was put on the line in an 8-Diva tournament which ended at this pay per view. Lita and Mickie James would compete in the finals of the tournament to crown a new Women’s Champion. The fans had voted for this one to be a Divas lumberjack match.
2007
Halloween Costume Contest
Things went downhill in 2007 with the launch of the Halloween Costume Contest as opposed to a real match. The Divas dressed up and the fans voted who they thought looked best… well actually, it usually ended up as a popularity contest.
2008
Halloween Costume Contest
So after the ‘success’ of the 2007 costume contest, it returned in 2008! Mickie won once again. No footage found.
So which was your favourite moment from Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday?

how many times are they gonna change the PPV’s name?
uhh..
well there all kinda unspectacular
but i guess lita vs mickie is the best
apparently the wwe decided to change every ppvs names this year !!!
well they did change this one to promote the video game and i think it’s at least a good reason …
even if i loved the fan interaction in the past (WELL STUPID HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTESTS ARE JUST … STUPID … STUPID … STUPID AND FOR A CHANGE : STUUUPIIIIID !
my predictions for tonight : i think team sd will win because it’s fantastic tto see 3 of the most dominant divas as a team! .. well in the other team there’s gail kelly and melina and they are amazing too but because of what happened at wwe superstars i hope gail turn heel ! :D
oh and Litaaaa vs Mickie was the best !!!! ( LITAAAA IS THE BEST )
the halloween costume contest was stupid,it was just a popularity,instead of voting on the best costume,fans just voted on there favorite diva which was mickie every year,i’m glad they ditched the idea
I hope the match tonight is good
“Talent pool severely down from last year, no?” lmao.
jillian was so funny in the halloween costume thing.
Aren’t you wrong on this? I mean, there was a competition to see who had the best costume, but there was also a battle royal… Which I think you can say it’s a match.

The Halloween Battleroyal took place on RAW the day after Cyber Sunday 2007.
The 2007 Halloween Contest. Jillian, Torrie and Victoria were awesome.
Maria was just “wtf”, though.
