Unforgiven (2007)
The 2007 Unforgiven was the 10th annual Unforgiven professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw, SmackDown!, and ECW brand divisions. The event took place on September 16, 2007, at the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee.
The main match on the SmackDown! brand was The Undertaker versus Mark Henry, which Undertaker won by pinfall after executing a Last Ride. The predominant match on the Raw brand was John Cena versus Randy Orton for the WWE Championship; Cena lost the match by disqualification but retained the title. The primary match on the ECW brand was CM Punk versus Elijah Burke for the ECW Championship, which Punk won after pinning Burke with a rolling cradle. The featured matches on the undercard included The Great Khali versus Batista versus Rey Mysterio in a triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship and Triple H versus Carlito in a match where Carlito could not be disqualified.
The event had 210,000 buys, down from the Unforgiven 2006 figure of 289,000 buys.
Unforgiven was first held by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as the 21st In Your House pay-per-view (PPV) in April 1998. Following the discontinuation of the In Your House series in February 1999, Unforgiven branched off as its own PPV in September that year, becoming WWE's annual September PPV. The 2007 event was the 10th event in the Unforgiven chronology and took place on September 16 at the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee. After being a Raw-exclusive PPV for the past four years, the 2007 event featured wrestlers from the Raw, SmackDown!, and ECW brands, as following WrestleMania 23 in April, brand-exclusive pay-per-views were discontinued. It would in turn be the first Unforgiven since the 2002 event to feature the SmackDown! brand, and the first to feature ECW.
The main feud heading into Unforgiven on the SmackDown! brand was between The Undertaker and Mark Henry. Their rivalry started in early 2006 when Henry's interference caused The Undertaker to lose a match for the World Heavyweight Championship against Kurt Angle. This culminated in a casket match at WrestleMania 22 which The Undertaker won, extending his WrestleMania winning streak to 14–0. On the May 11, 2007, episode of SmackDown!, Henry, who made his return from an injury he sustained in mid-2006, assaulted The Undertaker after The Undertaker had retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Batista in a Steel Cage match. Following the assault, Edge cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to defeat The Undertaker and win the World Heavyweight Championship. As a result, The Undertaker was out of action for four months. In August, vignettes started airing about The Undertaker's return and his match with Henry at Unforgiven.
The main feud on the Raw brand was between John Cena and Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. Cena had retained the title against Orton at SummerSlam. The following night on Raw, Orton demanded a rematch for the title, but his request was declined by General manager William Regal. Orton proceeded his demands to Mr. McMahon, who also refused to give him a rematch unless he proved himself. That night, Orton interfered in Cena's match by assaulting Cena and kicking Cena's father, who was at ringside, in the head. The following week, Orton was granted a title rematch against Cena at Unforgiven.
The main feud on the ECW brand was between CM Punk and Elijah Burke over the ECW Championship. The rivalry started on the September 11, 2007, episode of ECW on Sci Fi, when Burke became the number one contender to the title. After the fact was revealed, Punk dropkicked Burke. Later that same night, Punk teamed up with Stevie Richards in the main event against Burke and Kevin Thorn, which saw Punk and Richards win the match.
The secondary feud on the SmackDown! brand was between The Great Khali, Batista, and Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship. After Batista was unable to win the World Heavyweight Championship from Khali at SummerSlam, he participated in a tournament in which he lost to Mysterio, the eventual winner. As a result, Mysterio got a title shot against Khali at Unforgiven. On the September 7, 2007 episode of SmackDown!, after Mysterio defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. in an "I Quit" match, Khali put Mysterio in a Khali Vise Grip. Batista made the save, and as a result, he was made a part of the match, making it a triple threat match at Unforgiven.
