First event | 2001 |
The first Vengeance event took place in 2001,[1] replacing Armageddon that year because of the possible insensitivity of the latter's name with respect to the September 11 attacks.[2] In 2002, Vengeance took over Fully Loaded's pay-per-view spot. The 2003 event was exclusive to the SmackDown! brand, while from 2004 to 2006, the events were Raw-exclusive. In 2005, Vengeance was moved again, this time changing positions with The Great American Bash. The 2007 event was named Vengeance: Night of Champions, with the Night of Champions series replacing Vengeance the following year.
In October 2011, the Vengeance name returned for one more pay-per-view event. In February 2021, WWE made NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day for the NXT brand, renaming it NXT Vengeance Day the following year after the NXT TakeOver series ended.
