Today's UPDATES

We all knew that the aftermath of SummerSlam would carry on into Monday Night Raw last night and it did. It all started when Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman came marching to the ring gloating about The Beast conquered three individuals last Sunday at once and walked out of that Fatal 4-Way match still the champion. Then, Heyman declared that if anyone wants to step to the plate and get conquered by The Conquer, then they're welcomed to try. That signaled the appearance of Braun Strowman who said nothing to Lesnar and took him out without breaking a sweat, so in five weeks, at WWE No Mercy at the Staples Center is Los Angeles, the match we've all been waiting for will finally happen, The Beast vs The Monster Among Men for the Universal Championship. Tonight is SmackDown Live's turn to feel the after effects of SummerSlam, with Jinder Mahal probably going to gloat about another successful but controversial title defense, this time over Shinsuke Nakamura, and Kevin Owens might throw the biggest hissy fit he's ever had after failing short of regaining the United States Championship from AJ Styles last Sunday with Shane McMahon as the special referee. Max Sports will be following what's goes down in the WWE this fall with the Mae Young Classic starting next week and Survivor Series is coming this November to the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

Hope that everybody enjoyed the Solar Eclipse, it was indeed a beautiful site, so beautiful that we have continuing coverage of the event in out #TwitterTrend. Now I did not have any special glasses to look at the sun. but I use the technique online where you use a cereal box and look at the sun through it, however, it didn't look at all because the eclipse never seemed to hit New York City yesterday. It was partly visible from where I lived and might have already missed, they said the eclipse would come to new at about 2:44PM Eastern Standard Time and while I was waiting noticed that the sun was getting a little dimer outside, that made me realized that the eclipse was on it way. Even though it didn't came to my house, the eclipse could be seen across the United States and I got some good shots on my phone from the television. Many other people got a good look at it and they all had on expression, "Wow, just wow!", so that's what we are talking about, the reaction to the Solar Eclipse, and it spread like wildfire on twitter and other social media platforms . Feel free to take a look at these special tweets made by people who notice something really regarding the solar eclipse.

Web Choice has some Big news, Marvel's The Defenders are finally out on Netflix and I'm up to episode five now. As you know, the series is a followup to other Netflix series starring Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist in respective order. They all must join forces to defeated the secret organization known only as "The Hand", but what I like most about The Defenders is that characters from other series joined together for a common cause. Course, I have three more episodes to watch so don't tell me any spoilers, what I want to know is how the actors in The Defenders think about the work they have done together. At a Defenders Red Carpet premiere in New York City a couple of weeks ago, the stars were to celebrate these unorthodox heroes finally coming together to become one big unit and people have been debating over the past few days on which superhero team is better: The Defenders of The Avengers? , this is a question I cannot answer. So let's leave it at this, I considered The Defenders a bit of a prelude to the Infinity War that will bring The Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and other superheroes together, while we're waiting we can enjoy four extraordinary people kick butt in the City of New York from all different angles of it. We now turn to some videos from the Defenders NYC Premiere.
