No Way Out (2007) was the ninth annual No Way Out pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It took place on February 18, 2007, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California and was the final branded pay-per-view before all pay-per-view events became tri-branded.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WWE No Way Out 2007 Event Details )〕 The main event was an interpromotional tag team match between Batista and The Undertaker (from SmackDown!) and John Cena and Shawn Michaels (from Raw). Cena and Michaels won the match after Cena pinned Undertaker following an FU.〔〔 The main match on the undercard was an interpromotional Six-man tag team match between the team of Chris Benoit and The Hardys (Matt and Jeff) and the team of MNM (Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro) and Montel Vontavious Porter, which was won by the Hardys and Benoit after Benoit forced Mercury to submit to the Crippler Crossface.〔〔 ==Background== The event featured eight professional wrestling matches with outcomes predetermined by WWE script writers. The matches featured wrestlers portraying their characters in planned storylines that took place before, during and after the event. The main feud heading into No Way Out was between SmackDown!'s World Heavyweight Champion Batista and his partner, The Undertaker, and Raw's WWE Champion John Cena and Shawn Michaels. This feud began after Undertaker won the 2007 Royal Rumble match. The following week on an episode of ''SmackDown!'', the two world champions demanded an answer from Undertaker as to who he would face at WrestleMania, but Michaels interfered, as he also wanted an answer from Undertaker. As they awaited for Undertaker's answer, Vince McMahon, the WWE Chairman, made an appearance and announced an interpromotional tag team match between the two pairs of brand representatives.〔 On the February 5, 2007 episode of ''Raw'', Undertaker made his decision to face World Heavyweight Champion Batista at WrestleMania 23, sending a message through a chokeslam. Michaels then became Cena's challenger at WrestleMania 23 after winning a Triple Threat match against Randy Orton and Edge.〔 On the February 15, 2007 episode of ''Raw'', the brand representatives were pitted in an eight-man tag-team match against Rated-RKO (Orton and Edge), Mr. Kennedy, and Montel Vontavious Porter in which the brand representatives were victorious. The ''Raw'' representatives went on to win the World Tag Team Championship, although Michaels made many attempts to superkick Cena during the road to No Way Out. On the February 16, 2007 episode of ''SmackDown!'', Undertaker and Batista again teamed up to face Rated-RKO and were victorious via pinfall. The secondary feud heading into No Way Out was between Chris Benoit and The Hardys against MNM and Montel Vontavious Porter (MVP). This feud began shortly after MNM reformed, when they challenged the reunited Hardys at December to Dismember in a losing effort. They then continued to wrestle on episodes of ''Raw'', ''ECW'', and ''SmackDown!'' until Armageddon, when Mercury suffered a legitimate severe facial injury. On the February 16 episode of ''SmackDown!'', SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long announced a ladder match between Paul London and Brian Kendrick, Dave Taylor and William Regal, MNM, and The Hardys for the WWE Tag Team Championship (the same match all four teams had against each other at Armageddon), but WWE's official website announced the match had changed to pit The Hardys and Chris Benoit against MNM and MVP, while Brian Kendrick and Paul London faced Deuce 'n Domino in a separate match. Benoit and MVP were added to the match on short notice, as they were not feuding at the time.〔 The third feud heading into No Way Out was between Kane and King Booker. This feud began during the 2007 Royal Rumble match when Kane eliminated King Booker from the match, but Booker returned unofficially to eliminate Kane. The feud continued on the February 2, 2007 episode of ''SmackDown!'' during King Booker's Key to the City ceremony in Houston, Texas, when Kane interrupted the ceremony and attacked King Booker.〔 After they continued to feud during the weeks leading up to No Way Out, Theodore Long booked a match between the two at No Way Out.〔 On the February 16, 2007 episode of ''SmackDown!'', King Booker mocked Kane by dishonestly reviewing Kane's ''See No Evil'' movie, but Booker ran out when Kane came in to attack him.〔 The fourth feud heading into No Way Out was between Bobby Lashley and Mr. Kennedy. This feud began on the February 16 episode of ''SmackDown!'' when Lashley made a guest appearance to visit Theodore Long.〔 Mr. Kennedy voiced his opinion to Lashley, reminding Lashley that he had beaten him before and claiming that he could to it again. Long then scheduled a match between the two for the ECW World Championship at No Way Out after contacting ECW officials.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No Way Out (2007)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
