WWE Vengeance is a professional wrestling event produced by WWE. It began in 2001 as Vengeance, replacing Armageddon after the September 11 attacks. In 2002, WWF became WWE. After a brand split in 2002, Vengeance moved between shows: SmackDown in 2003, then Raw from 2004 to 2006. In 2007, the event was renamed Vengeance: Night of Champions, with all WWE championships on the line and ECW included. After that, Night of Champions became its own series, and Vengeance was retired, except for a one-off return in 2011.

In 2021, WWE revived Vengeance for NXT as NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day on February 14, and it aired on PPV and the WWE Network. The TakeOver name ended later in 2021, but Vengeance Day continued as NXT’s Valentine’s event. In 2022, the event was shown as a TV special on USA Network, not a PPV. From 2023 onward, NXT’s big events moved to livestreaming only, not PPV. The 2023 Vengeance Day took place on February 4, 2023 at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, and was a livestreaming event on Peacock in the US and the WWE Network elsewhere. It marked the first major NXT event in North Carolina and the first standalone NXT livestreaming show outside Florida since 2020.
