While most of the night will be spent celebrating the year that has just passed, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long will use the occasion to address the year to come. The fan-friendly GM will make a major announcement regarding the 2007 Royal Rumble and the World Heavyweight Championship. Tune in on Friday night to see just what Long has to say.
My guess is that the Royal Rumble winner will take on the WHC at Wrestlmania. Since it's been a few years since Smackdown had the main event at Wrestlemania.
I was told it would be televised because of the closeness to Christmas...but much to my dismay, it was a house show and I do not have the announcement.

It would be awesome if they market it as the winner of the Royal Rumble will become the WHC... It would put a lot more emphasis on the actual match, but could take away from Mania, unless they play off as the winner and runner up feuding up to Mania.
