During Game One of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday night, WWE executive Shane McMahon and Staples Center executive Tim Leiweke negotiated the deal to move Raw from Denver to Los Angeles, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Tuesday night proved to be good for Los Angeles, as they won the basketball game over the Denver Nuggets and two nights of WWE TV tapings on Monday and Tuesday.

"We were invited to come out to L.A., and that's what we did," Vince McMahon told the Times.

McMahon added that Kroenke Sports in Denver should apologize to WWE. Meanwhile, Kroenke Sports is holding firm that WWE broke their verbal agreement to keep Raw in Denver, but on Sunday night. McMahon views things differently.

"All one of their lackeys have to say is that, 'I've done wrong, and we'll make it right,' and we'll deal with it reasonably," McMahon said. "Don't try to say the only way to deal with it is having me sign a joint press release where they have me saying what a great guy E. Stan Kroenke is."

McMahon was asked how he thinks Raw will fare in the TV ratings against Game Four from Denver, which will be on ESPN head-to-head. McMahon acknowledges the NBA will win, but he added that they easily win during the regular season.

"We'll be fine," McMahon said. "We clobber the NBA during the regular season, but I don't think that will be the case this time. Everybody loves the Lakers."
