Vengeance was an annual pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) since 2001.[4] 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.[5] While the previous three Vengeance events were held exclusively for the Rawbrand, the 2007 event featured wrestlers from Raw, SmackDown!, and ECW, as following WrestleMania 23 in April, brand-exclusive PPVs were discontinued.[6]
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.[7] After being stripped of the title, Lashley began to pursue the WWE Championship.[7] 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 ManagerJonathan Coachman announced that all five men would compete for the title in a match billed as the "WWE Championship Challenge" at Vengeance.[8]
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.[9] On the June 8 episode of SmackDown!, WWE ChairmanVince McMahon announced that Edge would defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Batista in a "Last Chance" match at Vengeance.[10] 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.[11]
The first match was between Lance CadeandTrevor Murdoch and The Hardys (Matt and Jeff) for the World Tag Team Championship. Cade and Matt started the match, with Matt in control. The two teams tagged in and out until Cade and Murdoch attempted to walk out of the match, but the Hardys went after them, and brought them back into the ring. Jeff attempted a Swanton Bomb onto Cade, but Murdoch interfered on Cade's behalf. Matt tried to interfere on Jeff's behalf, but was stopped by the referee. Murdoch used this as an advantage, and pushed Jeff off the turnbuckle, leading to Cade performing a powerbomb. Cade gained the pinfall on Jeff to win the match and retain the titles.[15]
The second match was between Chavo Guerrero and Jimmy Wang Yang for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.[5] The match began with Yang and Guerrero locking up, followed by Yang in control through most of the match. After Yang missed a moonsault, Guerrero executed a Gory Bomb. Shortly after, Guerrero performed a Frog Splash on Yang. Afterwards, Guerrero pinned Yang to win the match and retain the Cruiserweight Championship.
The sixth match was an open challenge by Deuce 'n Domino to any tag team for the WWE Tag Team Championship, which was accepted by Jimmy Snuka, who was Deuce's real-life father and Sgt. Slaughter.[5][21] Snuka and Slaughter controlled most of the match; however, Deuce 'n Domino got the win after Deuce pinned Snuka. After the match, Deuce 'n Domino attacked Snuka and Slaughter until Tony Garea and Rick Martel came into the ring to assist Snuka and Slaughter.[21]
Main event matches
The seventh match was between Edge and Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship.[5][22] This was a Last Chance match, meaning if Batista lost, he could not get another shot at the World Heavyweight Championship as long as Edge was champion. Batista originally won the match by disqualification after Edge executed a low blow; however, SmackDown! General ManagerTheodore Long restarted the match with the stipulation that Edge could lose the title by disqualification. Edge won the match after Batista was counted out, thus retaining the title,[22] and with the match stipulation, Batista would be unable to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship as long as Edge was the champion. After the match, in complete frustration, Batista attacked Edge and performed a Batista Bomb on him outside of the ring onto the ground before leaving him with the title.
The main event, billed as the "WWE Championship Challenge", saw John Cena defending the WWE Championship against King Booker, Bobby Lashley, Mick Foley, and Randy Orton.[5][25] Throughout the match, all five men gained an advantage over one-another at one or more spots. One spot in the match saw Lashley dive over the top rope onto the other four competitors. Towards the end of the match, Cena executed an FU on Lashley through an announce table. Cena won the match and retained the title after pinning Foley following an FU.[25]
Aftermath
The scheduled June 25 episode of Raw was going to be a three-hour memorial to "Mr. McMahon". However, due to the real-life death of Chris Benoit, the show opened with McMahon standing in an empty WWE arena, acknowledging that his reported death was only of his character as part of a storyline.[26] This was followed by a tribute to Chris Benoit that filled the three-hour timeslot.[27] Once the details of Benoit's actions became apparent, WWE made the decision to remove nearly all mentions of Chris Benoit from their website,[28] future broadcasts, and all publications.[29]
Chavo Guerrero went on to defend the WWE Cruiserweight Championship in a Cruiserweight Open at The Great American Bash against Jimmy Wang Yang, Jamie Noble, Funaki, and Shannon Moore. Hornswoggle also entered the match at the bell, but immediately escaped the ring and hid under it. With all of the cruiserweights down, with the exception of Noble, Hornswoggle came out from under the ring and delivered a Tadpole Splash to Noble. He pinned him afterwards to win the match and the Cruiserweight Championship.[30][31]
Candice Michelle and Melina continued to feud over the WWE Women's Championship. The two had a rematch at The Great American Bash for the title. Michelle pinned Melina after delivering a Candy Wrapper to retain the title.[32]
On the July 2 episode of Raw, Umaga defeated Santino Marella in a rematch to capture the Intercontinental Championship.[33][34] Two weeks later, Jeff Hardy defeated William Regal, Shelton Benjamin, and Santino Marella in a fatal four-way elimination match to become the number one contender to the Intercontinental Championship. At The Great American Bash, Umaga defeated Hardy to retain the title after the Samoan Spike.[35] That same night, Bobby Lashley won a "Beat the Clock" tournament to become the number-one contender to the WWE Championship.[33] At The Great American Bash, Lashley faced John Cena for the WWE Championship in the main event. Cena retained the title after an FU from the top rope.[36]
On the June 26 episode of ECW on Sci Fi, CM Punk defeated Elijah Burke in a two out of three falls match to become the number one contender to the ECW World Championship.[37] At The Great American Bash, Punk faced John Morrison (formerly known as Johnny Nitro) for the ECW World Championship. Morrison retained the title after hitting Punk with both of his knees.[38]
On the July 6 episode of SmackDown!, Kane was named the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship after he appeared as the special guest on Edge's Cutting Edge segment.[39] Edge held a celebration for himself on the July 13 episode of SmackDown!, and was attacked by Kane, who in the process legitimately injured Edge.[40] On the July 20 episode of SmackDown!, Edge was forced to vacate the World Heavyweight Championship as a result of his injury. The Great Khali went on to win a 20-man battle royal to become the new World Heavyweight Champion.[41][42] At The Great American Bash, Khali defended the title successfully against Kane and Batista in a triple threat match.[43]
Vengeance: Night of Champions would be the final Vengeance until the event was reinstated in 2011,[44] as WWE decided to drop Vengeance in 2008 in favor of continuing Night of Champions as its own PPV chronology.[45] This 2007 event would also be the only Vengeance to feature the ECW brand, as it was disbanded in 2010, and it was the final Vengeance to occur during the first brand extension, which ended in August 2011, two months before the 2011 event;[46] in April 2011, WWE ceased using its full name with the "WWE" abbreviation becoming an orphaned initialism.[47] Additionally, this would be the only Night of Champions event, as well as the final Vengeance event, to feature the original Cruiserweight Championship, as the title was retired in September 2007,[48] and it was the only Vengeance event to feature the ECW World Championship, and the final Vengeance event to feature the World Tag Team Championship and WWE Women's Championship, as the three titles were retired in February, August, and September 2010, respectively.[49][50][51] Night of Champions continued as an annual PPV until its 2015 event, which was the final Night of Champions, as it was replaced by the similarly themed Clash of Champions in 2016.[52] However, Night of Champions was reinstated in 2023.[53]
(*) – Johnny Nitro was an impromptu replacement added by WWE due to the absence of Chris Benoit, explained on-air as being due to “personal issues". It was later discovered by local Georgia law enforcement officials that Benoit had murdered his wife and son, and then killed himself in their home.[citation needed]
