Night of Champions debuted in 2007 as a concept built around every WWE championship being defended on a single card. At the time, it featured the Raw, SmackDown, and ECW brands. The inaugural event remains one of the most turbulent weekends in WWE history, as the scheduled ECW World Championship match between Chris Benoit and CM Punk never occurred.
