WWE Cyber Sunday Opener:
Cyber Sunday began with WWE almost immediately saying that ten million people voted. Of course, since people were able to vote as many times as they wanted, that is WWE stretching things right off the bat. The set is a giant computer, pretty much like a Taboo Tuesday. Maria and Todd Grisham hosted the voting results, with Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler doing commentary.
Referee: Jack Doan

Backstage:
Backstage, Queen Sharmell tried to convince Big Show that it was more important to retain your respective title than be Champion of Champions. Sharmell said Booker would help him if the ECW title was on the line, if he did the same for Booker in case the World Title was on the line. If Cena’s title was on the line, Sharmell said it could be every man for himself. Big Show said it was every man for himself regardless, and said being Champion of Champions was important. He started to tell Sharmell what she could do with her scepter, but Sharmell stopped him and said she would inform King Booker of his decision.

In the arena:
DX came out first and played to the crowd, actually taking up more time than two of the matches we’ve seen so far on the show. The crowd really enjoyed the pre-mic work though. Triple H got on the crowd’s case for finishing their trademark slogans before they could, which was funny. Maria told us she voted for Mr. McMahon, because she didn’t want to get fired. Eric Bischoff won with 60% of the vote. McMahon and Coach each had 20%. Bischoff then came to the ring, then Randy Orton and Edge (no Lita) made their entrances.

In the ring, Orton measured Triple H and hit the RKO. Orton covered, and a second referee (Chad Patton) ran in and counted the cover, but Triple H kicked out at two.
The Finish:

Backstage, the Spirit Squad was getting psyched up. Kenny came in and berated the Squad for being losers lately. Johnny asked Kenny who made him the boss, and the two got into a shoving match.

Ric Flair and Rowdy Roddy Piper vs. The Spirit Squad (c)
Sgt. Slaughter, Roddy Piper and Dusty Rhodes were shown in the back. Piper won with 46% of the vote. Dusty had 35%, Slaughter had 19%. Maria’s entire no ass crack slipped out when she announced this and started dancing like Ric Flair and we’ve got guaranteed six pics of this at the link at the bottom of this post.

Winners and new World Tag Team Champions, Ric Flair and Roddy Piper
The Aftermath:
The Spirit Squad ran in, but Slaughter & Rhodes came in and the legends ran off the Squad, with Rhodes hitting a bunch of bionic elbows (almost giving Piper one). The crowd popped again for the announcement that Flair and Piper were the new champs, and the four legends all danced to Dusty’s old WWF music.
Backstage Segment:
Booker (with Sharmell) told John Cena they needed to talk. Booker suggested a royal alliance. Cena quickly agrees, but wants one thing in return. Cena wants one night with the Queen. Booker escorts Sharmell out, and agrees. Cena said he would never take his wife. Cena tells Booker he has no problem taking the title off Booker. Once again, Ron Simmons says “damn.” Its funny the first time, but its over played.
(7) King Booker (with Sharmell) vs. The Big Show vs. John Cena.
Members of the Cincinnati Bengals are sitting ring side. Fans have voted for the World title to be defended with 67% of the vote. ECW title got 21% of the vote, the WWE title only received 12%. Early on, fans are pro-Cena. This match is no countouts or disqualifications. On the outside, Big Show tried to nail Cena with the ring steps, but Cena countered by taking out his knee as the Show went face first into the steps. Booker hits the book end early, but Cena kicked out. As the match progresses, the fans slowly turn on Cena. Booker put Cena in the sleeper, but Cena countered with a side slam. Cena attempted the FU on Booker, but the World champ countered with a DDT. Cena tried the STFU, but Booker made it to the ropes. Lawler said 14,687,233 votes had been cast for the event. This is one of those matches where the fans don’t know whom to pull for, and appear to be warming up to Cena again. The Big Show finally returned to the match after selling the ring steps spot. Show rammed Cena’s head into the Raw announcer’s table on the outside, but regrouped and nailed the Show’s head into the announcer’s table. Five knuckle shuffle on Booker. Sharmell runs in but is FU-ed by Cena. Cena slaps on the STFU, but the referee attends to Sharmell. Kevin Federline comes in with the world title belt and hits Cena over the back. Booker hits Cena with the world title and pins Cena at 21:06 for the victory. K-Fed looks on and laughs at Cena.
