Today's UPDATES

On a freezing Wednesday like this one, we are about three weeks into the New Year but the weather is getting any better. The back room in my basement has been fixed with the floor clean the walls and ceiling in the closet all patched up, hopefully we will not have to worry about another leaky pipe anytime soon despite this new snowfall. According to AccuWather, the temperature in Foxboro, Massachusetts on Sunday afternoon will be 48° Degrees, so the AFC Championship Game will indeed be cold as ice but still the Jacksonville Jaguars will have to be ready to enter the land of the New England Patriots and capture their first Conference Championship in franchise history. The temperature in Philadelphia on Sunday will be 50° Degrees making the NFC Championship Game a little bit warmer but not warm enough for the Minnesota Vikings, who are coming off of a Mircale in their nice warm indoor stadium, and must get past the Philadelphia Eagles to get to the Super Bowl in Minnesota. Max Sports gives a reminder of the results of Divisional Playoff Weekend and other sports stuff you need to like the fact that there's a new United States Champion in the WWE.

So much is going on this week, like the fact that Spike TV will become the Paramount Network beginning tomorrow night with a LIVE edition of Lip Sync Battle. Plus, DC and Warner Bros. have announced the director (or should I say directors) for the upcoming movie "Flashpoint" with Ezra Miller as The Flash and those new directors are the screenwriters behind Spider-Man: Homecoming, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Actress Jackée Harry announced on Steve Harvey's talk show that a revival of the classic 90s comedy series Sister Sister would be happening, and this adds to the list of 90s shows that have been revived, others include Will & Grace and pretty soon Roseanne. But the thing I want to talk about in our #TwitterTrend today involves Marvel, we all know that Marvel Studios is celebrating its 10th Anniversary with movies like Black Panther next month in February, Avengers: Infinity War on May 4th, the same day Iron Man debut ten years ago, and last but not least, Ant-Man and the Wasp in July. Yesterday, Marvel presented the first official image of two of the most smallest but famous heroes together at last. Paul Rudd returns as Scott Lang and will be joined by Evangeline Lily who is coming back as Hope Van Dyne, I've been waiting to see the Wasp in the MCU since the first Ant-Man came out three years ago, and see this new picture makes me realize that the three year wait as worth it. So now you know how I feel about it, let's see what other people think about the new picture.

Ant-Man @AntMan

Suit up for Marvel Studios' #AntManAndTheWasp, in theaters July 6! 🐜

sgtmadness! @sgtmadnesss

I wish they would of gone with less of "she's female Ant-Man" and more of her own thing. Also actual yellow would of been nice to see, not... basically brown.

Spectacular Spoiler League @HallofSpoilers

I will say again, the Wasp suit shown at the end of Ant-Man looks way better than the one seen in all the promotional images thus far for Ant-Man & The Wasp.

Eric Francisco @EricTheDragon

Is it just me or did Ant-Man get a third costume change?

Merry Christopher M @_Christopher

I prefer the Wasp helmet because you can see more of the face. I wouldn’t hate a version like this eventually for Ant-Man.

Kayla @spideycarter

We are probably really close to getting an ant-man and the wasp trailer

Entertainment Weekly @EW

Evangeline Lilly suits up in new Ant-Man and the Wasp photo

Temporary Eagles and Jags Fan @amarihackett29

The Wasp suit looks so cool

The Quinzel. @HeroicFashion

You can't say that MCU movies are the same when you dislike the idea of Ant-Man and The Wasp being a romantic comedy.

Cissy @whitesqueen
i’m so hyped for ant-man and the wasp

Coming up this Monday is the 25th Anniversary of WWE Monday Night Raw, and it's going to the biggest celebration in recent WWE History. First off, the event kicks off at 8PM on USA Network and LIVE from the Manhattan Center in New York City for the first whole hour, then at 9PM, the action continues from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The idea to house the 25th Anniversary at two locations in New York is because the very first episode of Raw took place at the Manhattan Center on January 11th, 1993, that's just three years before I was born and two years after my sister was born. In its last week before the 25th Anniversary Celebration, the Raw roster was held captivated by the Monster Among Men Braun Strowman who has was fired earlier on in the program for his actions against Kane and Brock Lesnar last week. It didn't take Braun too long to start causing havoc across the arena, he threw security guards like balls, tipped over a truck, and launched Micheal Col off the Raw stage arena, that's how powerful Braun Strowman is and with three rabid animals fighting for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble, there will be all kinds of chaos just when the bell when ring and all bets are off. In order to catch up on all the action on Raw, Web Choice is willing to share a few videos which should be considered highlights from last Monday night.
