Night of Champions

Night of Champions is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by professional wrestling promotion WWE. The event was previously known under the name Vengeance, with the inaugural event taking place on December 9, 2001 and replacing the regularly scheduled WWE Armageddon for that year. The 2002 event featured the Raw and SmackDown! brands. The event was made exclusive to the SmackDown brand in 2003, and in 2004 it was made exclusive to the Raw brand. In 2007, following WrestleMania, all PPV events became tri-branded. Vengeance took over WWF Fully Loaded's scheduled date in July 2002 and later moved to June in 2005, switching schedules with The Great American Bash.
The 2007 event was promoted as Vengeance: Night of Champions and featured all WWE titles being defended. In 2008, the event dropped the Vengeance name and continued to promote as Night of Champions, later moving to September in 2016. In 2011, WWE scheduled both a Night of Champions and Vengeance event where the latter name would replace WWE Bragging Rights on the October 2011 event card while Night of Champions retained its original slot. In 2012, the Vengeance name was removed from the scheduled event calendar for that year.
Starting in 2007, the concept of this pay-per-view is that all WWE titles are defended. Starting in 2010, non-title matches were also included on the card.
In previous years, ten titles that have been defended at the pay-per-view include:
*WWE Cruiserweight Championship - defended in 2007
*ECW Championship - defended between 2007–2009
*World Tag Team Championship - defended between 2007–2009
*WWE Women's Championship - defended between 2007–2010
*WWE Divas Championship - defended between 2009–2012
*World Heavyweight Championship - defended between 2007–present
*WWE Championship - defended between 2007–present
*WWE United States Championship - defended between 2007–present
*WWE Intercontinental Championship - defended between 2007–present
