Vengeance: Night of Champions
Vengeance: Night of Champions was a 2007 professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was the seventh annual Vengeance as well as the inaugural Night of Champions and took place on June 24, 2007, at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw, SmackDown!, and ECW brand divisions. It was the final Vengeance event until 2011, as Night of Champions continued in its place. Per the theme of the event, every match on the card was contested for one of WWE's nine then-active championships; only two people won a championship and the others were retained.
The main event featured the Raw brand. It saw John Cena defend the WWE Championship in a fatal five-way match against Mick Foley, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, and King Booker. Cena won the match and retained the title after pinning Foley. The featured match from the SmackDown! brand was a Last Chance match for the World Heavyweight Championship between Edge and Batista, in which Edge emerged victorious via countout.
Chris Benoit was originally booked to face (and defeat) CM Punk to win the vacant ECW World Championship. However, he did not show up, and was replaced by Johnny Nitro—who won by pinfall after performing a corkscrew neckbreaker from the middle rope. Following the event, it was discovered that Benoit had murdered his wife and son, and then committed suicide.
Vengeance was an annual pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) since 2001. From that inaugural event until 2006, the event was promoted solely as Vengeance, but in 2007, WWE retitled the seventh Vengeance as "Vengeance: Night of Champions". It took place on June 24, 2007, at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. While the previous three Vengeance events were held exclusively for the Raw brand, the 2007 event featured wrestlers from Raw, SmackDown!, and ECW, as following WrestleMania 23 in April, brand-exclusive PPVs were discontinued.
With the event's subtitle of "Night of Champions", the theme of the event was that every championship promoted by WWE at the time was contested. These included the four championships on Raw—the WWE Championship, the Intercontinental Championship, the World Tag Team Championship, and the WWE Women's Championship—the four championships on SmackDown!—the World Heavyweight Championship, the United States Championship, the WWE Tag Team Championship, and the WWE Cruiserweight Championship—and ECW's sole championship—the ECW World Championship.
The main feud on the Raw brand heading into the event was between WWE Champion John Cena, Bobby Lashley, King Booker, Mick Foley, and Randy Orton. The feud began when Lashley was drafted to Raw and stripped of the ECW World Championship. After being stripped of the title, Lashley began to pursue the WWE Championship. On the June 18 episode of Raw, Foley, Orton, Booker, and Lashley all cut promos on why they deserve to be the number-one contender to the WWE Championship. Cena also cut a promo on who he believed deserved to be the number one contender to the championship. Following this, Interim General Manager Jonathan Coachman announced that all five men would compete for the title in a match billed as the "WWE Championship Challenge" at Vengeance.
The main feud heading into Vengeance on the SmackDown! brand was between World Heavyweight Champion Edge and Batista. Their match stemmed from their Steel Cage match at One Night Stand, three weeks before Vengeance, where Edge won by escaping the cage. On the June 8 episode of SmackDown!, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon announced that Edge would defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Batista in a "Last Chance" match at Vengeance. On the June 22 episode of SmackDown!, Batista and Ric Flair defeated Edge and Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP). Midway through the match, Flair and MVP brawled outside the ring, leaving Edge on his own against Batista. Batista gained the pinfall after executing a Batista Bomb on Edge.
The feud between The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) and Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch began at Backlash. At Backlash, The Hardys defeated Cade and Murdoch to retain the World Tag Team Championship. At the following event, Judgment Day, Matt and Jeff defeated Cade and Murdoch once again to retain the titles.
