Today's UPDATES

Woah! Can you believe last night? Some much has happen in the past twelve hours so I hope you are well rested for this one. Max Sports has been following WWE's week in Brooklyn and it concluded with two big editions of SmackDown LIVE and 205 Live. First, Bobby Roode made his main roster debut to the Blue Brand and now thanks to him, SmackDown LIVE is GLORIOUS. But that's not all, after losing his tag team partner Jason Jordan to Raw, Chad Gable was offered with a new partner by Daniel Bryan, and believe it or not, Shelton Benjamin is back and will team up with Chad Gable next week. Kevin Owens was in a bad mood as expected and is even more livid now that he blew his last chance at the United States Championship against AJ Styles when his plan for Baron Corbin as the special guest referee backfired. Meanwhile on 205 Live, Neville successfully defended the Cruiserweight Championship against former champion Akira Tozawa but was then met by Enzo Amore who might have put his ex-partner Big Cass on the shelf with a knee injury. In his 205 Live debut, Enzo declared that he's now apart of the Cruiserweights. If none of this is shocking enough, then there's only topic we should all be dealing with, but first, the MLB and WWE results you've been looking for are all right here.

The biggest shock in this entire NBA off-season just went down last night. The Vertical reporter Shams Charania first reported that the Cleveland Cavaliers were in talks of trading point guard Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics in exchange for point guard Isaiah Thomas, forward Jae Crowder, center Ante Zizic and the Brooklyn Nets' unprotected 2018 first-round draft pick.This is a total shock to the entire sports community and it's today's #TwitterTrend, it all started earlier in the summer when Kyrie demanded that he being traded and said that he did not want to be teammates with LeBron James anymore. I was surprised myself and I supported Kyrie, LeBron and the Cavs when they won the Championship in 2016, they finally broke the Cleveland Curse and Cavs fans everywhere went in a frenzy. So now, Celtics fans are in a frenzy knowing that they swept point guards with the Cavs, and if that weren't enough, the Cletics have to travel to Cleveland for Opening Night of the 2017-18 NBA Season, that is a game is on the must-watch list. Also, Kyrie Irving is on the cover of NBA 2K18 which will be in stores this fall, the bad thing about that is that he was a Cavs jersey on the cover, so 2K sports have announced that it will do some changes to the cover so that Kyrie has a Cletics jersey on. the tweets about this blockbuster trade insane and I wish I could fit all of them in this one post, so here reactions from around the NBA!

Some may wonder where I get an exclusive on everything that has happened last night, and fast? There's only one way to combine these two stories from the NBA and WWE, and that's through Web Choice. We have videos and pictures on the arrival of Bobby Roode and the return of Shelton Benjamin on SmackDown Live, the reactions from the Brooklyn crowd at the Barclays Center says it all. There's a couple vids and pics on the Kyrie Irving-Isaiah Thomas trade from different sports outlets, you should hear what they are talking about on ESPN's morning show First Take, the ranting and raving over there is outstanding, for everyone knows what's what.
