Both start at 8 pm est.

If you're struggling with the decision of which to watch, you're probably NBA reporter Jason Jones. who was caught at Game 2 on Sunday night, watching WWE Extreme Rules on his laptop while AT THE NBA FINALS GAME THAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COVERING.

You can tell from the purple ropes in the screenshot that he is currently watching the Cruiserweight Championship match between Neville and Austin Aries.

Jones caught some flak for essentially being off-task at work, so he reached out to WWE COO Triple H for some backup.

Triple H, seeing an opportunity for a marketing angle, re-tweeted a response:

And Matt Hardy, because he is Matt Hardy, decided to get into the act as well:

If somehow the Cavs mount a comeback similar to last year's finals, and there's a Game 7, it will be on June 18--the same night as WWE Money In The Bank.

So it looks like Jason Jones might have to multi-task again.
