On April 13, however, it was revealed that WWE scrapped these plans and that this Saudi Arabian event would instead be the 10th Night of Champions, thus reviving the Night of Champions event, which had previously been held annually from 2007 to 2015. The event was scheduled to be held on Saturday, May 27, 2023, at the Jeddah Superdome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions.

On March 6, 2023, the American professional wrestling promotion WWE announced that the King of the Ring event would be revived and rebranded as "King and Queen of the Ring" to incorporate both the men's King of the Ring tournament and women's Queen's Crown tournament, which would also replace the previously annual Hell in a Cell event.
The Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship match and the ending that followed were deemed highlights of the night, with praise also given to the World Heavyweight Championship match. The event received mostly positive reviews from critics and fans. Four other matches were contested at the event, the most prominent of which saw Trish Stratus defeat Becky Lynch as well as Asuka defeating Bianca Belair to win the Raw Women's Championship, ending Belair's record title reign at 420 days. This was the final match of the night and was one of three matches promoted as part of a triple main event, the other two were the aforementioned World Heavyweight Championship match, which saw Seth "Freakin" Rollins defeat AJ Styles to become the inaugural champion in the opening bout, and a match between Cody Rhodes and Brock Lesnar, which Lesnar won via technical submission. Instead of defending his title, Reigns teamed with Solo Sikoa to challenge Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship in which Owens and Zayn won to retain the titles. This theme was not retained for the 2023 event, and instead celebrated the crowning of a new World Heavyweight Champion and also marked the 1,000th day for Roman Reigns as Universal Champion.
The original concept of Night of Champions (2007–2015) was that every main roster championship was contested. The event also replaced the previously annual Hell in a Cell event. This was the first Night of Champions held following the reintroduction of the brand split in July 2016 and the first to livestream on Peacock after the American version of the WWE Network merged under Peacock in March 2021.

The event was originally announced to be held as an event titled "King and Queen of the Ring", which would have revived the King of the Ring event series but with a rebranding, however, WWE decided to instead revive Night of Champions. This was also the first Night of Champions to take place on a Saturday and the first held in Saudi Arabia, subsequently making it the ninth event that WWE held in the country under a 10-year partnership in support of Saudi Vision 2030. The event took place on Saturday, May 27, 2023, at the Jeddah Super Dome in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and was the first Night of Champions held since the 2015 event. It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The 2023 Night of Champions was the 10th Night of Champions professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming event produced by the American promotion WWE.
