__NOTOC__
'''Cyber Sunday''' is an annual [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] event produced by [[World Wrestling Entertainment]] (WWE). In 2004 and 2005, the event was known as '''Taboo Tuesday'''<ref name="original name">{{cite web|url= http://www.wwe.com/shows/cybersunday/history/alltimeresults|title=Cyber Sunday Pay-per-view History|accessdate=2007-10-06| publisher=WWE}}</ref> and was exclusive to the [[WWE Raw|RAW]] [[WWE Brand Extension|brand]].
During the event's "Taboo Tuesday" years, it was the first pay-per-view held by the company on a Tuesday since 1991's [[This Tuesday in Texas]]. The inaugural event was held in October, and the 2005 event was pushed back to early November, likely to prevent competition from a [[Major League Baseball]] playoff game.{{fact|date=May 2008}} By 2006 the show was moved to a more traditional Sunday night slot—alleviating problems with the taping schedule of ''[[WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|SmackDown!]]'' (usually held on Tuesdays)—and renamed Cyber Sunday.
The most distinctive feature of Cyber Sunday is the ability for fans to vote online through WWE.com on certain aspects of every match. The voting typically begins in the middle of an episode of ''[[WWE Raw|RAW]]'' a few weeks beforehand and ends during the pay-per-view, often moments before the match is slated to begin. Because of this, Cyber Sunday is billed as an "[[Interactivity|interactive]] pay-per-view". Since the 2005 event, the official tag line for the PPV has been "''Log On. Take Over."''
