WWE and Denver Nuggets to settle score


Double booked at the Pepsi Center ? Yes, its true. The WWE had booked the Denver Nugget's home for this week's ‘Monday Night Raw’ months ago, but were told this week that they will be unable to use the facilities due to the Nuggets hosting the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the NBA’s Western Conference Finals. According to the WWE’s owner, Vince McMahon, there’s only one way to settle this: an old fashioned Royal Rumble.

Sunday afternoon at the Pepsi Center will feature the first ever Royal Rumble between five of the WWE’s all stars and the Denver Nuggets starting five. “I’m looking forward to it,” said Nuggets all star forward Carmelo Anthony. “The Undertaker has been one of my heroes since I was a kid and I look forward to sending him back to the dead.” Nuggets coach George Karl was more reserved when asked about it. “I just hope none of our guys get hurt,” he said.

On the other side of the spectrum, WWE’s John Cena seemed ready to pounce on the Nuggets. “Yo man, I’m ready to roll, bro. Chauncey Billups, he aint nothin’. Kenyon Martin, he’s a punk too, I’m gonna re-arrange all their faces, bro. This arena is ours!” Vince McMahon seemed confident in his cast winning the match as well. "We'll show 'em who the REAL athletes are," McMahon quipped.

Speculation has run rampant on why the Nuggets would risk injury this way when word came down from the league that they would have to forfeit game 4 due to the scheduling snafu. Either way-- Basketball fan? Wrestling fan? It doesn’t matter. History is in the making and the Pepsi Center is up for grabs.
