Suddenly, The Miz’s theme music interrupted. Miz said he wouldn’t dream of interrupting McMahon, but he has something to say. He has an important message for WWE fans. As everyone knows, he became a huge TV star in Los Angeles, home of the Lakers where everyone thinks they will become NBA champions. Reality check…he’s from the City where the real future NBA champs reside…he pulled out a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey with #23 LeBron James. Miz said the Cavs will overcome the 2-1 disadvantage. He said John Cena is an over-rated poser…kind of like Kobe Bryant. Boos. Miz said he’ll run Cena out of town just like Kobe ran Shaq out of L.A. Miz’s new catchphrase: “WWE – where The Miz happens.”

John Cena then strolled out with no music, but DiBiase and Rhodes jumped him from behind to set up a three-on-one beating. Batista then stormed the ring in street clothes and spinebustered Miz, then DiBiase, then Rhodes. It’s hot in the Staples Center. Big Show then jumped in and smashed Batista from behind. He got himself a piece of Cena too. Jerry Lawler then stormed the ring sporting a Lakers purple and gold King outfit. Haha. Show cleared him out, but then Cena and Batista cleared Show over the top rope from behind. Batista’s music hit as Batista and Cena stood tall.

LA LAKERS (John Cena, Jerry Lawler, MVP, Batista & Mr. Kennedy) vs. DENVER NUGGETS (Randy Orton, Ted Dibiase, Cody Rhodes, Big Show & The Miz)

Back and forth action starting with Lawler against Rhodes. Ross had a flashback to the territory era saying those two last names. Cut to break with both teams gaining and losing control.

Back to Raw where DiBiase was working over MVP in center ring. MVP wanted a hot tag, but Miz flew across the ring to cut him off. Mr. Kennedy finally took the hot tag and landed right hand blows. Kennedy was then knocked to the floor and the heels smashed him into the guardrail as the ref tried to control ten men at one time. Kennedy continued to take a beating back in the ring as the heels tagged in and out to work him over.

Cody came in and Ross said he will no doubt have a different pace than Big Show. Nice way of saying he’s the Big Slow. Crowd tried to fire up Kennedy with a “Let’s go Lakers” chant, but the heel Nuggets put baby in the corner to continue working him over. Orton came in and slowly worked over Kennedy, settling for a reverse chinlock. There’s ten men in this match and they’re going with a reverse chinlock to continue working on Kennedy. Need Lucha Libre rules here to keep the action moving. Kennedy finally escaped Orton’s clutches and made the hot tag to Cena. Cody also took a tag. Cena exploded on Cody with shoulder tackles before hitting the sit-out slam and setting up the Five Knuckle Shuffle, only to tag in MVP for a double team You Can’t See Me and Ballin’ elbow drop. Nice spot. Lawler then entered with a VINTAGE punch to clear out the heels. MVP with the Playmaker on Cody for the pin and the win.

Winners: Lakers at 16:06.
