MVP seals "Lakers" win
"Nuggets" suffer defeat during action-packed RAW
John Cena, Batista, MVP, Jerry "The King" Lawler and Mr Kennedy defeated Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, Big Show and The Miz on a bizarre edition of RAW.
The five-on-five main event finished off an evening that began with criticism over the organisation of the night itself.
The WWE Universe were scheduled to watch the action inside the Denver Pepsi Center, however, the owner of NBA side Denver Nuggets - E. Stan Kroenke - had instead axed Monday Night Raw from the arena to allow his team to play the Los Angeles Lakers in a play-off game.
Despite having just three days notice to purchase tickets, fans flocked to the STAPLES Center in Los Angeles, and once again they were treated to a night full of drama and controversy.
Sporting Denver Nuggets jerseys as they entered the ring: Big Show, WWE Champion Orton, Rhodes, DiBiase and The Miz faced off against their five opponents, who came to the ring donning LA Lakers tops.
The returning Mr Kennedy was given a rousing reception, and, after surviving a barrage of physical abuse from the "Nuggets", the Green Bay Grappler managed to make an ultimately game-changing tag to bring Cena into the ring.
Kelly Kelly fury
The Champ then tagged in MVP, who, to the fans' delight, secured the win for WWE's "Lakers" when he delivered his finisher and pinned Rhodes.
The Brian Kendrick is still waiting to strike up a winning tag-team partnership after he and Festus suffered defeat at the hands of Goldust and Hornswoggle.
The same evening also saw Kofi Kingston overcome Matt Hardy and William Regal in a Triple Threat Match to earn a US title shot on the next RAW.
Kingston claimed the pin on Hardy and will fancy his chances of dethroning US champ and friend MVP when the two lock horns on Monday.
Elsewhere, Santino Marella and Mickie James teamed up to defeat Chavo Guerrero and Beth Phoenix in an entertaining Tag Team match-up.
After Mickie pinned Beth for the win, Santino chose a Hog Pen Match for his "twin sister" and Vickie at Extreme Rules.
The stunning Kelly Kelly missed out on securing the Divas title despite defeating champion Maryse.
In what was dubbed "The battle of the blondes" by the WWE Universe, Maryse got herself disqualified and retained the title - prompting a furious Kelly Kelly to attack the cunning champion and drive her from the ring by disqualification.
