The 2016 Clash of Champions would be the only in the event's chronology to be Raw-exclusive as the 2017 event was SmackDown-exclusive, and while a Clash of Champions event did not occur in 2018, brand-exclusive pay-per-views were discontinued that year following WrestleMania 34. The event returned in 2019, with all titles available to Raw, SmackDown, and 205 Live defended, and beginning with the 2020 event, Clash of Champions now just features the Raw and SmackDown brands as 205 Live merged under NXT in late 2019—although NXT became one of WWE's three main brands at that time, it continues to run its own separate shows.
