WWE (World Wresting Entertainment) says it is booked at the Pepsi Center

for an episode of Monday Night Raw on May 25, the same night the Nuggets

are slated to host the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.


WWE spokesman Robert Zimmerman says the organization secured the Pepsi Center

last Aug. 15 and has already sold more than 10,000 tickets for the event.

He says the organization expects a sellout, with tickets ranging from $20 to

$70.


"Even though the Denver Nuggets had a strong team this year and were projected

to make the playoffs, obviously Nuggets and Pepsi Center owner Stan Kroenke

did not have enough faith in his own team to hold the May 25th date for a

potential playoff game, Denver is usually done with basketball by now. The

Nuggets had lost in the first round five straight years, but as the No. 2 seed

in the West are in the conference finals for the first time since 1985." WWE

Chairman Vince McMahon said in a statement.


The conflict didn't arise until Sunday, when the Lakers beat the Houston

Rockets in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals. Had the Rockets won,

Denver would have had home-court advantage in the next round, hosting Games 1

and 2 and putting the May 25 game in Houston.
