10 Weirdest WWE Raw Main Events Ever

10. The Lakers vs The Nuggets - May 25th 2009

There are many words that could be used to describe Vince McMahon - most of which aren't suitable for family viewing - but one of the best ones is "petty".

The ex-Chairman's inability to let things go was on full display on the May 25th 2009 edition of Raw. The show was booked to take place in Denver, Colorado's Pepsi Center, but the owner, Stan Kroenke, double-booked the arena without telling WWE, leaving them venueless. 

Raw was moved to the Staples Center in Los Angeles instead, but Vince wasn't going to let this snub slide. He booked a ten-man tag team main event pitting the "Lakers" - LA's home basketball team - versus the "Nuggets" - the Denver team who were owned by one Stan Kroneke. 

Not only did Vince fill the Nuggets team with heels - The Miz, The Big Show, and Legacy - but he let the babyface Lakers - John Cena, Batista, MVP, Mr. Kennedy, and Jerry Lawler - beat the tar out of them. 

Whilst the LA audience might have enjoyed seeing "their team" triumph, everyone else was left very, very confused.
