One Night Stand was the name of an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

History

For the first two years, WWE promoted the event under the former Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) promotion name, which featured former alumni of the company; ECW's holdings were purchased by WWE purchase in bankruptcy court in 2003. The 2005 show was a tribute show to the original ECW, with most of the match participants being ECW alumni including those who were not under contract with WWE at the time. The 2006 edition, however, marked the kickoff to WWE's new ECW brand. In 2007, the event became a regular tri-branded pay per view. The event is billed as the one show a year where every match takes place under Extreme Rules. In late-February 2009, WWE changed the name of the event to "Extreme Rules." Extreme Rules will succeed the name 'One Night Stand' and carry the same tradition and legacy.
