SummerSlam 2007 was the twentieth annual SummerSlam professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It took place on August 26 2007 at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey and starred talent from all three brands (RAW, SmackDown!, and ECW). Tickets for SummerSlam went on sale December 30 and sold out in forty minutes. The official theme song was "Whine Up" by Kat DeLuna w/Elephant Man. The event featured two taglines: "The Biggest Party of the Summer" and "The Party is Over".
The main event and main match on the RAW brand was John Cena versus Randy Orton for the WWE Championship, which Cena won after performing an FU. The main match on the SmackDown! brand was between The Great Khali and Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship, which was won by Batista after Khali got himself intentionally disqualified. The main match on the ECW brand was John Morrison versus CM Punk for the ECW Championship, which Morrison won by pinning Punk while using the ropes for extra leverage. Main matches on the undercard included Rey Mysterio versus Chavo Guerrero and Triple H versus King Booker.
Several of the existing feuds carried on after the event. Notably, CM Punk continued to face John Morrison, defeating him for the ECW Championship the following month. The day after SummerSlam, Orton interfered in a match between Cena and King Booker and intensified the feud by attacking Cena's father. Khali and Batista faced each other at Unforgiven, the following pay-per-view, as part of a Triple Threat match; Batista was victorious in this match and won the World Heavyweight Championship.
