WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006 (Exciting Pro Wrestling 7 in Japan) is a video game released on the PlayStation 2 console and PlayStation Portable handheld console by THQ. It is part of the WWE SmackDown! series based on WWE's weekly TV show of the same name. SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006 is the follow-up to WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW which came out late 2004. The game is due out November 14, 2005 and it is thought that future games will no longer have "taglines" unlike the previous games before WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW.

The main focus for this game is try and bring a more realistic and authentic gameplay and many of new features to be included in the game focus that. The characters have all been digitally scaned to look more realistic and a huge percentage of the moves availiable have been reanimated. A new Momentum bar has also been introduced, replacing the old Clean/Dirty and SmackDown! meters, which will detirmine the flow in which the match will go.

It terms of matches, an improved Cage Match has been confirmed along with a "Legend" Cage Match, expected to involve the old-school thick grid cages from the 80s and early 90s. The Bra and Panties match has been replaced by a Fulfil Your Fantasy match, which is based on the costume-based diva match that occured on Taboo Tuesday. Also new this year is a match well requested by fans, the Buried Alive Match. Although in name, the match will be more like a Casket Match, in that you have to trap your opponent in a casket to show a cutscene of the burial. Backstage fights have also been improved in that there will be random people backstage during the fights who you can interact with.

As in the previous game, online-play will be available for those who have a network adapter.

PlayStation Portable

For the first time in the SmackDown! series, this game will also be available on the PlayStation Portable.
