MaxSports Monday

There's only a few weeks left until the summer's done. The good news about it is that football season is upon us and you know we'll have full coverage of opening week of the 2016 NFL Season. On the other hand, the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio are over and after seventeen days of giving away three hundred and six medals to eleven thousand, three hundred thirty-nine athletes from all over the world, we can all back to more impressing matters in sports. The MLB will soon enter its final month in 2016 Baseball, which means it's almost clinching time. The Biggest Event of the Summer, took place last night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, of course I'm talking about WWE SummerSlam. The Beast vs The Viper went to an unexpected turn when Brock Lesnar outsmarted Randy Orton's RKO with a TKO, kinda like a boxing match. Also, Finn Bálor brought the Demon King to Seth Rollins in order to become first ever WWE Universal Champion, and AJ Styles defeated John Cena in what was a classic match-up. So let's see what this past weekend had in stored for us.
