This was the first SmackDown! brand exclusive pay-per-view, and it was also the first WWE PPV to use all blue ring ropes, like Smackdown's ropes. This was the second Vengeance in a row to have the main event be in a triple threat match. Neither have had the Champion walk out the winner. Kurt Angle has also been in both of those matches.
The plan was for Chris Benoit (I) to win the ECW World Championship. However when news broke out that Benoit killed his wife, his son and himself, Johnny Nitro won the belt. Bearing in mind news of Benoit's killing spree didn't leak out until the Monday, fans presumed that Benoit pulled out due to a family emergency as he told WWE this the night before the event.
