Night of Champions is now CLASH of Champions?

Rumors that WWE is rebranding "Night of Champions" as "Clash of Champions" have been proven true, as Ticketmaster.com is now selling seats for the show. It will take place on September 25 at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The name is a slight modification of "Clash of the Champions," a recurring event that was part of WCW's calendar. Rather than taking place on Pay-Per-View, Clash of the Champions aired free on TBS, with 35 editions of the broadcast taking place between 1988 and 1997.

The Clash of Champions confirmation comes on the heels of news that WWE will be expanding its schedule to 20 Pay-Per-View events a year. The company was also reported as bringing back the "Backlash" and "No Mercy" shows, but there has been no official confirmation of either, despite the fact that Backlash is rumored to be taking place two weeks before Clash of Champions.

Interesting. I don't see a need to change the name, unless it's gonna be a brand specific ppv and they wanna keep the same theme. ie, let RAW be "Night of Champions" and SD be "Clash..."

But maybe they're just scrapping the word Night b/c Clash is more impactful

They should've never got rid of Backlash.

The GOAT B-tier show.

It is brand specific for Smackdown right...

They need Halloween Havoc, Starrcade Great American Bash, Bash at the Beach and SuperBrawl.

You telling me we really need another Roadblock in December over Starrcade

Or Battleground in July over Great American Bash

1 outdoor show at the beach would look cool.

Heard Night of Champions got a wellness violation for being a shytty ppv event.
