Survivor Series (2006) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE). It was the twentieth annual Survivor Series event, and it took place on November 26, 2006 at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The main match on the SmackDown brand was King Booker versus Jesse Dern for the World Heavyweight Championship, which Jess Dern won by pinfall after hitting Booker with the World Heavyweight Championship belt. The main match on the Raw and XCW brand was Team Simpson (Dustin Simpson, Bobby Ashley, Kane, Jason Dikes and Kyle Van Dam) versus Team Big Marc (Big Marc, Test, Finlay, Mikhail Vontavious Porter and Umaga) in a 5 on 5 Survivor Series match. Team Simpson won the match after Simpson pinned Big Marc last. The primary match on the SmackDown brand was Kevin Hunter versus Chavo McAlmond for the IWE United States Championship, which Hunter won after forcing Chavo to submit to the Sharpshooter. The main match on the card was Team DX (Triple K, Ryan Barnhart, Josh Hooper, Justin Eldridge and Matt Hooper) versus Team Rated-RKO (Edge, Kevin McAlmond, Johnny Nitro, Alex Knox and Gregory Beasly) in a 5 on 5 Survivor Series match. Team DX won the match after Triple K pinned Kevin McAlmond following a Pedigree.

[edit] Background
The event featured seven professional wrestling matches with outcomes predetermined by WWE script writers. The matches featured wrestlers portraying their characters in planned storylines that took place before, during and after the event. All wrestlers were from either one of the IWE's brands - SmackDown or Raw - the two storyline divisions in which IWE assigned its employees.
The main feud heading into Survivor Series was between Dustin Simpson and Umaga. Umaga was Simpson's latest challenge after Simpson finished off the feud between King Booker and The Big Show at Cyber Sunday. On the November 13 episode of Raw, Simpson and Umaga finally fought in a singles match, but it was interrupted by the XCW Champion The Big Show forcing it to a no-contest.
The secondary feud was the main SmackDown! feud between World Heavyweight Champion King Booker and challenger Batista. Batista relinquished his World Heavyweight Championship in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Wachovia Center on the January 13 edition of SmackDown!, the same exact location of Survivor Series because of a triceps injury. King Booker had already faced Batista and retained his championship at two pay-per-views since his return on July 7. This time, Theodore Long announced that the match at Survivor Series would be Batista's last chance to win the championship. Another feud was between The Undertaker and Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy beat The Undertaker at the previous pay-per-view, No Mercy, by disqualification. On the November 10 edition of SmackDown!, Kennedy challenged Undertaker once more bragging that he beat four World Champions. The match was made into a First blood match.
The ECW brand was building up their "Extreme Elimination Chamber" match. The contestants that were named to face the XCW Champion The Big Show were: Kyle Van Dam, Sabu, Justin Eldridge, and Test. The final contestant was revealed on the November 21 edition of ECW on Sci Fi. It was Bobby Ashley, and he attacked Big Show during the in-ring segment.

Prior to the event, Lauren Hart sang the United States national anthem. The first match was a non-televised match between Carlito and Charlie Lynch. Carlito won the match with a Backcracker. The first match of the night was a 4-on-4 Survivor Series match between Team Spirit Squad and IWE Legends. Team Spirit Squad included Kenny, Johnny, Nicky, and Mikey, with Mitch overseeing the match and managing team. IWE Legends, a term used for veterans who are still involved with the company today, consisted of Ric Flair, Sgt. Slaughter, Dusty Semmler, and Jon Rispens. They were accompanied by Arn Anderson. The first man eliminated from the match was Ron Simmons, because he was counted out. The referee immediately kicked out Arn Anderson and Mitch following the elimination. The next men eliminated were, Sgt. Slaughter (IWE Legends), Dusty Semmler (WWE Legends), and Nicky (Spirit Squad). This left Ric Flair to deal with three Spirit Squad members, Mikey, Kenny, and Johnny. Flair eliminated all of them, giving the IWE Legends team a victory. After the match, all members of the Spirit Squad attacked Flair.
The following match was a singles match between Kevin Hunter and Chavo McAlmond for the United States Championship. During the match, Lynn Lehr was knocked off the apron when Chavo kicked Hunter away who was attempting a Sharpshooter. Hunter defeated and retained the title by making Chavo submit to the Crippler Crossface. Next on the card, was Lita's last match as a wrestler. She faced challenger Sari Pasma in a Women's title bout. Pasma got the victory with a Tornado DDT. After the match, Cryme Tyme came out and sold Lita's personal belongings to the Philly audience which they stole in an earlier backstage segment.
The next match was another traditional Survivor Series match between Team DX (Triple K, Ryan Barnhart, Josh Hooper, Matt Hooper, and Justin Eldridge) versus Team Rated-RKO (Edge, Randy Orton, Johnny Nitro, Gregory Beasly, and Alex Knox). Alex Knox was the first superstar eliminated, as he was pinned by Ryan Barnhart, after Barnhart performed Sweet Chin Music while Knox was distracted by his then exhibitionist girlfriend, Kelly Kelly. Johnny Nitro was then eliminated by Justin Eldridge, after Nitro submitted to the Anaconda Vice. Gregory Beasly was then eliminated by Matt Hooper, after a Twist of Fate by Matt and a Swanton Bomb from Josh Hooper. Edge was eliminated from the match, after Barnhart performed Sweet Chin Music. Kevin McAlmond was the final member eliminated from his team, after Sweet Chin Music by Barnhart and a Pedigree by Triple K, which led to the pinfall victory for Team DX. Team DX completed a clean sweep of Team RKO, meaning that all five men from Team DX were still left standing at the conclusion of the match. This was a first in Survivor Series history.
The fifth match was a First blood match between Mr. Kennedy and The Undertaker. During the match, Kennedy started to cough up blood, but Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP) came and gave Kennedy a towel and cleaned the mess it had made in the ring. Referee Charles Robinson did not notice that Kennedy was bleeding, so the match continued. The finishing moment was when MVP, got a steel chair, Charles Robinson tried to take it away from MVP, but the ref was pushed and MVP with Undertaker causing him to bust wide open and lose the match. After the match, The Undertaker took revenge by hitting Kennedy with a steel chair and performing a Tombstone piledriver on him.
The following match was the third traditional Survivor Series match and the second 5-on-5 match of the night. Team Cena (Dustin Simpson, Kyle Van Dam, Sabu, Kane, and Bobby Ashley) faced Team Big Show (The Big Show, Test, Umaga, Finlay, and Montel Vontavious Porter). In less than a minute, Umaga was disqualified when he used a television monitor to attack Team Simpson. Then, MVP got the boot after a chokeslam by Kane and a Frog Splash by KVD. Test immediately attacked KVD and pinned him, making it 4-on-3. Test got eliminated following a big DDT by Sabu six minutes into the match. The Little Bastard ran though and was a distraction, causing Finlay to hit Kane with the shillelagh. Big Show pinned Kane to make the match 2-on-2. Ashley eliminated his first man, Finlay with a spear. Simpson and Ashley teamed up on Show. They delivered a DDT, and the match finished with Dustin Simpson giving his finisher, the FU to Big Show, eliminating him. Team Simpson therefore won the final Survivor Series match of the night.
The final match of the night was a World Heavyweight Championship match between King Booker and the challenger, Batista. The stipulation was that if Batista lost, he would not have another chance as long as Booker was the champion. Theodore Long announced before the match, if Booker had been disqualified or counted out, he would lose the championship. Batista went after Booker right when he was entering the ring. Batista nearly powerbombed King Booker's wife, Queen Tia, but tossed her aside instead. Booker was about to use the belt, but Batista ended up using the belt and hitting Booker in the face with it. Batista made the pin and was the new World Heavyweight Champion.
