Clash of Champions is a recurring pay-per-view (PPV) and WWE Network event first produced by WWE in 2016. Similar to its predecessor, Night of Champions, the theme of the event is that every active championship available to each brand division featured at the event is defended. The 2016 event was Raw-exclusive while the 2017 event was SmackDown-exclusive. A Clash of Champions event did not occur in 2018, as it was replaced by Evolution, but following WrestleMania 34 that year, WWE discontinued brand-exclusive pay-per-views. In 2019, Clash of Champions was reinstated and all WWE titles available to Raw and SmackDown at the time, as well as 205 Live, were defended. These included the four championships on Raw—the Universal Championship, the Raw Women's Championship, the United States Championship, and the Raw Tag Team Championship—the four championships on SmackDown—the WWE Championship, the SmackDown Women's Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, and the SmackDown Tag Team Championship—205 Live's sole championship—the WWE Cruiserweight Championship—and the promotion's two non-exclusive titles—the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship and the &lt;a href="WWE%2024/7%20Championship"&gt;24/7 Championship&lt;/a&gt;. After the 2017 event was held in December, the 2019 event returned Clash of Champions to the September slot and it was held on September 15, 2019 at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
