A reason for the change was not given. It is unknown if the King & Queen of the Ring tournaments will still take place at the event or leading up to it.

The Night of Champions branding was first used in 2007 with Vengeance: Night of Champions and then became its own event in 2008. The event name has not been used since 2015. Seth Rollins defended the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Sting at WWE Night of Champions 2015.
