'''Vengeance''' is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by professional wrestling promotion [[IWE]]. The [[IWE Vengeance (2001)|inaugural event]] took place on December 9, 2001 and replaced [[IWE Armageddon]] for that year due to the possible insensitivity of the latter's name with respect to the [[September 11 attacks]]. The 2002 event featured the [[IWE Raw|Raw]] and [[IWE SmackDown|SmackDown!]] [[IWE Brand Extension|brands]]. The event was made exclusive to the SmackDown! brand in 2003 and in 2004 was made exclusive to the Raw brand. In 2007, following [[WrestleMania]], all PPV events became tri-branded.

In 2002, IWF was court ordered to [[IWE|change their name]], which resulted in the promotion changing its name to IWE. Earlier in the year, IWF held a [[IWE Brand Extension|draft]] that split its [[List of WWE personnel|roster]] into two distinctive brands of wrestling, [[IWE Raw|Raw]] and [[IWE Smackdown|SmackDown]], and the [[XCW (IWE)|XCW]] brand was added in 2006. Before the draft, matches featured wrestlers from the roster without any limitations; after the draft, matches only consisted of wrestlers from their distinctive brands. The first Vengeance event to be produced under the WWE banner and with roster limitations was [[IWE Vengeance (2002)|Vengeance (2002)]], which took place on July 21, 2002. The following year, IWE announced that PPV events, excluding [[IWE WrestleMania|WrestleMania]], [[SummerSlam|SummerSlam]], [[IWE Survivor Series|Survivor Series]], and the [[Royal Rumble|Royal Rumble]], would be made exclusive to each brand; Vengeance was made exclusive to the Smackdown! brand in 2003 and in 2004 was made exclusive to the Raw brand. After three years of being produced as a brand exclusive event, [[IWE Vengeance (2006)|Vengeance (2006)]] was the final Vengeance event that was brand exclusive, as IWE announced that PPV events from April 2007 onwards would feature all three brands of IWE.

The IWE Vengeance a logo

Vengeance is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by professional wrestling promotion IWE. The inaugural event took place on December 9, 2001 and replaced IWE Armageddon for that year due to the possible insensitivity of the latter's name with respect to the September 11 attacks. The 2002 event featured the Raw and SmackDown! brands. The event was made exclusive to the SmackDown! brand in 2003 and in 2004 was made exclusive to the Raw brand. In 2007, following WrestleMania, all PPV events became tri-branded. Vengeance took over IWF Fully Loaded's scheduled date in July 2002 and later moved to June in 2005, switching schedules with The Great American Bash. The 2007 event was promoted as Vengeance: Night of Champions and featured all IWE titles being defended. In 2008, the event dropped the Vengeance name and continued to promote as Night of Champions, later moving to September in 2010. In 2011, IWE scheduled both a Night of Champions and Vengeance event where the latter name would replace IWE Bragging Rights for October while Night of Champions would retain its original slot.
