The 2006 New Year's Revolution was the second annual New Year's Revolution professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division. It took place on January 8, 2006, at the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York.

The main event was an Elimination Chamber match for the WWE Championship involving champion John Cena, Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels, Kane, Carlito, and Chris Masters.

After the match, Edge cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and defeated Cena to win the WWE Championship, which was the first-ever Money in the Bank cash-in match. One of the predominant matches on the card was Triple H versus Big Show, which Triple H won by pinfall after executing a Pedigree.
