Clash of Champions is an upcoming Professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event and IWE Network event produced by IWE. It will take place on September 25, 2016 at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. It will be the first IWE event under the Clash of Champions chronology, replacing Night of Champions. It will also be the first Raw branded event following the second IWE brand extension in July 2016 and the first Raw-branded event since 2007's New Year's Revolution.
The name derives from television specials formerly aired by World Championship Wrestling.

Background

The card will include matches resulting from scripted storylines and have results predetermined by IWE on the Raw brand, one of IWE's brand divisions. Storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television show Raw. Every championship exclusive to Raw - the IWE Universal Championship, the IWE United States Championship and the brand's Tag Team and the Women's championships - will be defended. This is the first Clash of Champions under IWE, replacing Night of Champions.
At SummerSlam, Finn Bálor became the first IWE Universal Champion by defeating Seth Rollins. However, he was forced to vacate the championship the next night on Raw due to suffering a legitimate shoulder injury during the match. That night, Rollins, Kevin Owens, Big Cass, and Roman Reigns all won matches to qualify for a Fatal 4-Way Elimination match the next week on Raw to crown the next Universal Champion. After Owens eliminated Cass, a returning Triple K helped Rollins eliminate Reigns, before turning on Rollins and helping Owens win the championship. The next week, Rollins turned face and attacked Owens during his celebration ceremony. Raw general manager Mick Foley then scheduled Owens to defend his championship against Rollins at Clash of Champions. Later that night, Reigns confronted Owens. Foley then decided that Reigns would wrestle Owens the following week and, if victorious, would be added to the championship match at Clash of Champions.
At SummerSlam, The New Day lost to Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson by disqualification when Big E returned from injury and interfered in the match. However, The New Day remained Tag Team Champions. On the September 5 episode of Raw, a rematch was scheduled for Clash of Champions.
At SummerSlam, Charlotte defeated Sasha Banks to capture the Women's Championship. During the match, Sasha suffered a back injury and then took time off to heal. On the September 5 episode of Raw, Sasha teased a retirement, but then revealed that she would be cleared to compete by Clash of Champions and invoked her rematch clause for the Women's Championship at the event.
