Night of Champions is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). The event was promoted as Vengeance until the 2008 edition. The event was created in 2001, with its inaugural event taking place on December 9, 2001 at the San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego, California, replacing Armageddon for that year due to the possible insensitivity of the latter's name with respect to the September 11 attacks. The 2002 event was exclusive to the Raw and SmackDown! brands. To coincide with the brand extension, the event was made exclusive to the SmackDown! brand in 2003 and in 2004 was made exclusive to the Raw brand. In 2007, to follow the format of WrestleMania, all PPV events became tri-branded.

Vengeance took over Fully Loaded's pay-per-view spot during 2002 and in 2005 was moved once again, this time switching positions with The Great American Bash. The 2007 event was named Vengeance: Night of Champions, as all nine WWE championships were defended that night. In 2008, the event was renamed to Night of Champions, keeping the format of the 2007 event, in the process dropping the Vengeance name. In 2009, the event was moved back to July. The event will move again to September in 2010.
