It seems to me that all you would have to do is add an "adi" just after the "x" in cyclohexene. That should do it!

Two steps required:
1) Cyclohexene + Br2 + N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) ----> 3-bromocyclohexene (bromine selectively adds at allylic position)
2) 3-bromocyclohexene + NaOCH2Ch3 + heat ----> cyclohexadiene (via an E2 rxn)
