List Of All WWE Night of Champions Events, Dates & Locations
WWE Night of Champions, a premier pay-per-view debuted in June 2007 as Vengeance: Night of Champions. The event, which was initially held in conjunction with Vengeance, took over the June PPV slot in 2008 and the July slot in 2009 before settling on September as its annual date in 2010. The original concept of Night of Champions was that every championship promoted on WWE's main roster was to be defended, making it a highly anticipated and prestigious event in the wrestling community.
To align with the original WWE brand extension (2002-2011), the events from 2007 to 2010 featured wrestlers from the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands. Although the brand extension ended in 2011, Night of Champions was reinstated in 2016, featuring wrestlers from Raw and SmackDown. However, the 2023 event, to be held in Saudi Arabia, will feature championship matches but not all of WWE's main roster championships will be defended.
The Night of Champions event has showcased ten different WWE championships since its inception. However, only four championships have been contested at every event thus far, namely the WWE Championship (renamed the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in 2014 and 2015), the WWE Intercontinental Championship, the WWE United States Championship, and the WWE Tag Team Championship (later renamed Raw Tag Team Championship in 2016). These four championships are the only ones to remain active through both brand split periods.
In summary, the Night of Champions has been a highly celebrated and anticipated event in the professional wrestling world. The event's history, which spans over a decade, is marked by its commitment to showcasing the best wrestling talent from across the WWE main roster, making it an essential part of the wrestling calendar.
