Today's UPDATES

Gotta love Tuesdays, we are always promised some big piece to breakout today, even though how gloomy it has been outside with the storm season coming into play. As we near closer and closer to WWE SummerSlam, it worth noting a big update has changed the match card for the four hour event on August 20th, and it's the subject of our MaxSports topic. If you have not heard by now, Bayley is out of SummerSlam, she was scheduled to take on Alexa Bliss for the WWE Raw Women's Championship, but then she sustained an separated right shoulder sometime last week, this has caused for a #1 Contender's match to take place next week on Monday Night Raw between Sasha Banks and Nia Jax and the winner will face Alexa Bliss at SummerSlam.  Last week on SmackDown Live, some could say that Kevin Owens was screwed out of his rematch for the United States Championship against AJ Styles after a mishap with the referee who couldn't see that Owens' shoulder were up when Styles had him pinned. So SmackDown General Manger Daniel Bryan announced that Owens would get another rematch against Styles for the US Title at SummerSlam. but this time with SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon as the special guest referee. Things will not even come easy for the reigning, defending, undisputed Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar who put the title on the line in a Fatal 4-Way match against Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman and Samoa Joe, as for the WWE Championship match over on SmackDown, it will be full of International flavor as India's Jinder Mahal takes on Japan's Shinsuke Nakamura. We are in for some great matches on August 20th and we have a full rundown for you today.

In the past couple of weeks, we have learned new information on the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards. The gender specific award categories have been removed a categories that houses both male and female nominees, the "Moonman' award statue was renamed the "Moonperson" Katy Perry will host the 34th annual award ceremony and it will all take place live on August 27th from The Forum in Inglewood, California. Yesterday we found who will be performing at the event and that's what we are talking about for today's #TwitterTrend. The host of the Video Music Awards, Katy Perry will headline the stage and gives us some of her best songs along with other pop stars such as Miley Cyrus, Ed Sheeran, Lorde, Fifth Harmony, The Weeknd, Thirty Seconds to Mars, and Shawn Mendes. I wonder as to how they are going top off last year's performances, I'll never forget last year when Nick Jonas singing "Bacon" at a restaurant diner and through the streets of New York City, all the way to Madison Square Garden. Knowing people like Perry and Cyrus, they will comepletely blow the roof of The Forum and people look back on August 27th and say "Wow, they really put on a show tonight!" So how are people, including singers, reacting to to the number of performers that will appear the VMAs, let's find out now.
