The official website of Madison Square Garden has posted the line-up for the Raw/ECW house show scheduled for Saturday, August 23rd.

A huge 10-man battle royal for a shot at Kane's ECW Championship later in the evening is scheduled.

Also, all of the current champions on Raw are scheduled to defend their respective titles as well. Of course with next week's draft and whatever storyline twists incur between now and then, most of the card will likely change come August 23. Nonetheless, here is what they have scheduled at the moment:

Fatal Four Way Match for the WWE Championship - John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Umaga vs. JBL;

ECW Championship Match - Kane vs. TBD;

Intercontinental Championship Match - Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho;

World Tag Team Championship Match - Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes vs. Brian Kendrick & Paul London;

Women's Championship Match - Mickie James vs. Beth Phoenix;

Jeff Hardy vs. Snitsky;

Mr. Kennedy vs. Lance Cade;

10 Man Battle Royal, with the winner to face Kane for the ECW Championship - CM Punk, John Morrison, The Miz, Shelton Benjamin, Kofi Kingston, Chavo Guerrero, Bam Neely, Tommy Dreamer, Matt Striker, Stevie Richards;

Live Event Host - Maria.

Above is the 2008 Royal Rumble poster. The event this year will take place in New York at Madison Square Garden on January 27th, 2008. This will be the 21st annual Rumble, the last one at MSG I actually attended back in 2000 when the Rock eliminated the Big Show to win the event for his one and only Rumble win.

Word is tickets for the event will go on sale in late December. You can bet that the event will sell out in minutes.
