Batista took advantage, and went to hit Edge with a Batista Bomb, but Curt Hawkins hit Batista in the leg with a steel chair, resulting in the entire team being disqualified. Due to the fact a title cannot be won when the champion loses by disqualification Edge retained the title. Rey Mysterio won a Beat the Clock match series and earned himself a match against Edge for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble, but Edge retained his title against Mysterio with help from Vickie Guerrero. Randy Orton began a feud with the new number one contender for his WWE Championship, the WWE Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy who earned himself a title shot by defeating Triple H in a number one contender's match at Armageddon. Orton gave Jeff's brother Matt, a running punt to the gut and then one to the head. Two weeks later, Jeff hit Orton a Swanton Bomb from the top of a 30-foot high scaffolding which knocked out both Orton and Hardy and they were taken off on stretchers. At the Royal Rumble, Orton retained his title against Hardy after pinning Hardy following an RKO. The 2007 Armageddon was the last WWE PPV to air in 4:3 format, as starting with the January 21, 2008 episode of Raw, all WWE shows switched to the high definition (720p) format.
