PWI’s Steven Fernandez reports that the August 7th WWE house show in Denver has been changed to a super show, to make up for that whole “double booking the Pepsi Center with the Nuggets” thing. The following matches have been advertised:
*Triple H vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship in a Steel Cage Match
*CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy for the World Heavyweight Championship in a Rocky Mountain Ladder Match
*Tommy Dreamer vs. Christian for the ECW Championship in an Extreme Rules Match
*Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz vs. MVP vs. Carlito for the US Championship in a Fatal Four Way Match
In other WWE house show news, Fernandez reports that Jeff Hardy is listed as appearing at the Smackdown/ECW TV taping on October 6th. Card subject to change seems to apply there.
