The 2012 Night of Champions was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE. It was the sixth annual Night of Champions and took place on September 16, 2012, at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. The theme of the event was that all sanctioned championships promoted on WWE's main roster at the time were defended on the card. The event managed to gain 189,000 buys, which was up from last year's event, which gained a 169,000 buy rate.
Eight matches were contested at the event, including one on the Pre-Show. The main event, which saw CM Punk defend the WWE Championship against John Cena, ended in a double pinfall. In other prominent matches, Sheamus defeated Alberto Del Rio to retain the World Heavyweight Championship, Kane and Daniel Bryan defeated Kofi Kingston and R-Truth to win the WWE Tag Team Championship, and Eve Torres defeated Layla to win the WWE Divas Championship.
