WWE Vengeance

**WWE Vengeance**, known as **NXT Vengeance Day** since 2021, is a series of professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming shows made by WWE.

The first Vengeance event took place in 2001, replacing Armageddon that year because of the possible insensitivity of the latter's name with respect to the September 11 attacks. In 2002, Vengeance took over Fully Loaded's July pay-per-view slot. The 2003 event was exclusive to the SmackDown! brand, while from 2004 to 2006, the events were Raw-exclusive. In 2005, Vengeance was moved again, this time changing positions with The Great American Bash. The 2007 event was named Vengeance: Night of Champions, with the Night of Champions series replacing Vengeance the following year.

In October 2011, the Vengeance name returned for one more pay-per-view event. In February 2021, WWE made NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day for the NXT brand, renaming it NXT Vengeance Day the following year after the NXT TakeOver series ended.
