Royal Rumble 2007 is the twentieth annual Royal Rumble professional wrestling pay-per-view event from World Wrestling Entertainment. It will be held on January 28, 2007 at AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.
As usual, the winner of the Rumble match will earn a title shot at the following April's WrestleMania and given a choice of wrestling for either the World Heavyweight Championship or the WWE Championship. It is not yet known if the winner can also challenge for the ECW World Championship.
After a promo aired at Armageddon 2006, Michael Cole gave a major hint that the Extreme Championship Wrestling brand will take part in this event, by saying that the brand will take part in the actual Royal Rumble match, but gave no references to whether the ECW World Title will be included in the card. ECW Extremists feature on the official Royal Rumble poster, which adds a further hint that they will compete for the first time at the event.
Theadore Long will leave his General Manager of Smackdown job when his Conract expires at the Royal Rumble with JBL taking over the job from the PPV.
This event will mark the ten-year anniversary of the 1997 Royal Rumble, also held in San Antonio, Texas, albeit at the Alamodome.
