Last event2008

WWE Armageddon was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), a professional wrestling promotion based in Connecticut. The event was created in 1999, when the promotion was still called the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, renamed to WWE in 2002). The event was held every December except in 2001, as that year, Vengeance replaced Armageddon as the event's name was thought to be insensitive following the September 11 attacks, although Armageddon was reinstated in 2002 with Vengeance moving up to July.

To coincide with the brand extension introduced in 2002, the event was made exclusive to the Raw brand in 2003 before becoming SmackDown!-exclusive from 2004–2006. Following WrestleMania 23 in 2007, brand-exclusive PPVs were discontinued. The final event was held in 2008, with TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs replacing Armageddon in 2009.

History

Armageddon was a pay-per-view (PPV) event consisting of a main event and undercard of championship matches and other various matches. The first Armageddon took place on December 12, 1999 at the National Car Rental Center in Sunrise, Florida and aired live on PPV. It was one of the promotion's first original monthly PPVs after they had discontinued the In Your House-branded shows earlier that year. The first two Armageddon events were held when the promotion was still called the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). In 2001, Armageddon was replaced by Vengeance due to the September 11 attacks; the promotion felt that the name "Armageddon" would offend victims of the attacks. Armageddon, however, was reinstated in 2002 with Vengeance moving up to July.

In 2002, WWF changed its name to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) due to a court order following a lawsuit from the World Wildlife Fund over the "WWF" initialism. The promotion also held their very first draft that year to split its roster into two distinctive brands of wrestling, Raw and SmackDown!, where wrestlers would exclusively perform—ECW was added as a third brand in 2006. After the split, matches only consisted of wrestlers from their distinctive brands. The first Armageddon event to be produced under the WWE banner and with roster limitations was Armageddon 2002. The following year, WWE announced that PPV events, excluding the "Big Four" (WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and the Royal Rumble), would be made exclusive to one of the brands; Armageddon was first made exclusive to the Raw brand in 2003, but then became exclusive to the SmackDown! brand from 2004–2006. Following WrestleMania 23 in 2007, WWE discontinued brand-exclusive PPVs. The 2008 event was the final event as Armageddon was discontinued and replaced by TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in 2009.
