THQ KICKS OFF WRESTLEMANIA 23 WEEKEND WITH THE 5TH ANNUAL THQ SUPERSTAR CHALLENGE!

Next WWE game announcement imminent!

THQ will take over the Gem Theatre in downtown Detroit this evening to host the fifth annual THQ Superstar Challenge. A total of 16 Superstars will compete in a single-elimination tournament to decide the new king or queen of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007.  With Shelton Benjamin's retirement after four years as reigning champion, a fresh crop of competitors will put their skills to the test and see what it takes to earn bragging rights among fellow Superstars and WWE fans.

The Superstar Challenge participants confirmed at time of writing will be Jeff Hardy, Johnny Nitro, Melina, Mickie James, Carlito, Kenny Dykstra and Coach (host) from the RAW roster; Batista, Ashley, Ken Kennedy, Chavo Guerrero and MVP from the SmackDown roster; and Bobby Lashley, CM Punk, Kelly Kelly, Tommy Dreamer, Elijah Burke and Matt Striker (host) form the ECW roster.

Following the Challenge, rock act Nonpoint will take to the Gem Theatre's main stage - the band's songs, "Bullet With A Name" and "Alive And Kicking," were both featured on the in-game soundtrack for WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2007.

Stay tuned to THQ-Games.com tomorrow, as we report from the THQ press conference to announce the next addition to the WWE video game family!
