context_page_description: No Way Out (2007) was the ninth annual No Way Out pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment for the SmackDown! brand. It took place on February 18, 2007, at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California and was the final branded pay-per-view before all pay-per-view events became tri-branded until the 2016 Backlash event, when the brand split was reintroduced.
  The main event was an interpromotional tag team match between World Heavyweight Champion Batista and The Undertaker and World Tag Team Champions WWE Champion John Cena and Shawn Michaels. 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 United States Champion Chris Benoit and The Hardys and the team of MNM and Montel Vontavious Porter, which was won by the Hardys and Benoit after Benoit forced Mercury to submit to the Crippler Crossface.
context_section_description: After No Way Out, The Undertaker continued his feud with Batista over the World Heavyweight Championship. At WrestleMania 23, he pinned Batista to win the title. Shawn Michaels, however, was unable to win the WWE Championship, as he lost to John Cena at WrestleMania 23.
  After Kane defeated King Booker at No Way Out, the two continued to feud on SmackDown! in a Money in the Bank qualifying match on February 23, 2007. The feud, however, ended after Booker defeated Kane to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match. Kane then began a feud with The Great Khali, who came out to the ring to attack Kane after the match. At WrestleMania 23, however, Kane lost to Khali via pinfall.
  After No Way Out, The Hardys qualified for the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania 23 but were unsuccessful in winning the match, as Mr. Kennedy won it. Chris Benoit and Montel Vontavious Porter began a feud over the WWE United States Championship, and Benoit successfully defended his championship against Porter at WrestleMania 23. After this event, MNM's reunion ended, as Joey Mercury was released by WWE on March 26, 2007. After Bobby Lashley was disqualified at No Way Out, he was chosen to represent Donald Trump at WrestleMania 23 against Vince McMahon's representative, Umaga, in the Battle of the Billionaires: Hair vs. Hair match. Lashley won the match at WrestleMania and the right for Trump to shave McMahon's head.
