In April 2011, WWE ceased using its full name with the "WWE" abbreviation becoming an orphaned initialism, while in August, the brand extension ended. Night of Champions would become its own chronology in 2008, replacing Vengeance in its July slot on WWE's PPV lineup. WWE then discontinued brand-exclusive pay-per-views following WrestleMania 23 in April 20 edition was branded as Vengeance: Night of Champions, with all nine of WWE's championships at the time being contested, which included ECW, a brand that had been established the previous year. įollowing the brand extension in early 2002, where the promotion divided its roster into two separate brands where wrestlers exclusively performed, Vengeance became exclusive to SmackDown! in 2003, and then Raw from 2004 through 2006. The 2002 edition of Vengeance was the first to be promoted under the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) name, after the WWF was renamed to WWE earlier that same year. However, Armageddon would return the following year, with Vengeance moving up to July as a replacement for Fully Loaded (which had been replaced in 2001 by Invasion, the first PPV to incorporate the Invasion angle). Vengeance was first held on December 9, 2001, replacing Armageddon as the then- World Wrestling Federation's (WWF) December pay-per-view (PPV) WWF staff felt that the "Armageddon" title was too sensitive following the September 11 attacks. Night of Champions would replace Vengeance as a standalone chronology the following year, but Vengeance has made one-off returns in 2011 as an October PPV and in February 2021 as an NXT TakeOver event called Vengeance Day, which was the first Vengeance to air on the WWE Network in addition to traditional PPV.
In 2007, Vengeance was held as Vengeance: Night of Champions, with all of WWE's championships at the time being contested. Following the promotion being renamed to WWE and the implementation of the brand extension in early 2002, the event was made exclusive to the SmackDown brand in 2003, and then Raw from 2004 to 2006 before WWE discontinued brand-exclusive pay-per-views. However, Armageddon would return the following year, with Vengeance moving up to July as a replacement for Fully Loaded. It initially replaced Armageddon for the promotion's December PPV due to sensitivity issues following the September 11 attacks. The event was created in 2001, when the promotion was still called the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).
