The 2007 No Way Out was the ninth No Way Out professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's SmackDown! brand division. The event took place on February 18, 2007, at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. It was the final brand-exclusive pay-per-view of the first brand extension, as following WrestleMania 23 the following month, brand-exclusive PPVs were discontinued and then in August 2011, the brand extension ended. Another brand-exclusive PPV would not be held until Backlash in 2016, as the brand split was reintroduced in July that year.

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 Hardy and Jeff Hardy) and the team of MNM (Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro) and Montel Vontavious Porter (at show, MVP), which was won by the Hardys and Benoit after Benoit forced Mercury to submit to the Crippler Crossface.
