On this date in 2008, WWE held Night of Champions at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. It was the first event promoted solely under the Night of Champions name, replacing Vengeance on the calendar. Every active WWE championship was defended, with three titles changing hands and five retained.

Triple H defeated John Cena to retain the WWE Championship in the main event. Edge defeated Batista to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. Mark Henry defeated Kane and Big Show in a triple threat to win the ECW Championship. Kofi Kingston defeated Chris Jericho to win the Intercontinental Championship. Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes defeated Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly to win the World Tag Team Championship, with DiBiase revealing Rhodes as his mystery partner. John Morrison and The Miz, Matt Hardy, and Mickie James retained the WWE Tag Team, United States, and Women's Championships.
