Night of Champions (2008) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE), which took place on June 29, 2008 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. It was the second annual event under the Night of Champions name and the eighth annual event under the Vengeance/Night of Champions chronology. It starred wrestlers from the Meltdown, Fusion and XCW. Like the previous year before, every match on the card was contested for a championship; three were won and five were retained.

===Preliminary matches===
==Aftermath==
Following Night of Champions, the Meltdown brand did not have a top-tier championship belt, as Triple K was drafted to the Fusion brand and took the IWE title to the program. On the June 30 episode of Meltdown, Edge made an appearance, causing Jesse Dern to show up and beat him down. Shortly afterwards, Edge lost the World Heavyweight title to Justin Eldridge, after Eldridge cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, making the World title exclusive to the Meltdown brand, once more. Eldridge would lose the title at Unforgiven, after he was unable to compete in the title match at the event, following an attack backstage by Kevin McAlmond. The match was won by Kris McGowan, who was named as his replacement.
At The Great American Bash, IWE's following pay-per-view event, Joe Linderman and Joe Smith lost the IWE Tag Team titles to Chad Coulture and Zack Nuss in a Fatal Four-Way match, which also involved the teams of Jesse and Nick and Danlay and Hornswoggle. At the same event, [[Junior Remeriz defeated Matt Hooper for the United States Championship and Amanda Johnson became the first ever IWE Divas Champion defeating Shannon in the process. At SummerSlam Sari Pasma and Jose Serrano lost their respective titles in a Intergender tag team match to Chandra Denney and Justin Black.
