Today's UPDATES

Royal Rumble Weekend did not end with last night's WWE SmackDown Live on the USA Network, a few minutes later on 205 Live on the WWE Network, SmackDown General Manger Daniel Bryan announced the new general manger for the Cruiserweight Show. Believe me, this one took me by surprise, for the new general manger is none other than former Impact Wrestling superstar, Drake Maverick (Rockstar Spud). Maverick announced that he would make sure that the Cruiserweight Division would live up to its potential, and after Enzo Amore was released from WWE and the Cruiserweight Championship was vacated, Maverick announced a 16-Man Tournament to determine a new champion and the Finals would take place at WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans. I can tell you one thing about this that Drake Maverick will do a great job of General Manager of 205 Live and the cruiserweight division will be in good hands of someone who know a thing or two about it in his career. Moving on with another Max Sports update on Super Bowl LII, the Super Bowl Experience is one of the most excited events during Super Bowl week, and I sure know because when Super Bowl XLVII was in the New York-New Jersey Metropolitan area, my sister and I went to Super Bowl Boulevard located on Broadway between 34th and 47th Streets in Midtown Manhattan. It was one of the best times of my life, getting to be part of the biggest game in the history of sports. Fast forward to the Super Bowl Experience in Minneapolis this year, fans have gone to the Minneapolis Convention Center for some amazing fun, and there's also Super Bowl LIVE taking place at Nicollet Mall, it is said to be the main hub of fan energy and excitement leading up to Super Bowl Sunday. While we for this Sunday, we have more new results from the NHL, NBA, and WWE.

We talked a lot about last Monday's Black Panther World Premiere yesterday that we had no time to speak anymore about the Ant-Man and The Wasp trailer that is currently dominated social media at the moment. But we will discuss the highlights from the new trailer in today's #TwitterTrend, first there's the fact that the trailer came outta nowhere, I was listen to Good Morning America when they said the trailer would be coming yesterday morning, and I was "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!, HOLY COW!, OH MY GOD!" Then I went over to my computer to find it on YouTube, and there it was on Marvel's channel, and it is exactly what I expect the whole movie to be. To name a few points of the film, Hank Pym has some new shrinking tech up his sleeves like when he shrunk a whole building down to the size of a box and held carried it like one of those carry-ons you take to the airport. Then there's the villain in this movie, The Ghost played by Hannah John-Kamen, I've seen this Marvel character before in many animated shows like Iron Man: Armored Adventures, but only as a male. The idea to make The Ghost a female is genius because it gives some diversity to the film and I'm dying to see what else they can tell us about this character that we don't know in the TV series and comic books. Finally, we got to see Evangeline Lilly's character Hope van Dyne kick @$$ in The Wasp suit, she dodged a knife attack, blast a man to kingdom come, and made a "Hello Kitty" Pen dispenser to grow the size of a human being to knock down a man on a motorcycle. Now for a clearer idea on what think about the trailer, we got some major reaction tweets that tell the story like it is.

Woke up to raving reviews for #BlackPanther and the first trailer for #AntManAndTheWasp... It’s already a good day & I haven’t even gotten out of bed!

Steve @CriticalBlast @CBNerd
That Ant-Man and the Wasp trailer is great. Looks to be a really fun team-up and I love that they continue to cultivate Lang's relationship with his daughter.

Daniel Rochelle @DanielRochelle
Reminder that Ant-Man is the most slept upon and underrated film in the MCU. Ant-Man and The Wasp is gonna be incredible for sure.

Hank Pym disguised the giant luggage handle on top of his shrinking building as an air vent, I love this

DID HANK PYM JUST SHRINK A WHOLE BUILDING AND TURN IT INTO LUGGAGE

Layne @LayneTweets
I have so many questions about Pym's suitcase building. Like is there some sort of gravity field that keeps everything inside it upright, or do all the toilets spill over when he tilts it?

Daniel Lopez @d_lo_green76
Hank Pym shrinking the building down to a suitcase is the most comic book thing I’ve ever seen. My hype meter might break for this movie

Btw, Ant-Man and The Wasp's villain (one of them anyway) is Hannah John-Kamen. You've seen her in Killjoys, Black Mirror, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and soon to be Tomb Raider & Ready Player One. She's amazing. https://io9.gizmodo.com/heres-the-comic-character-hunting-scott-and-hope-in-ant-1822550160

I must say, this design for Ghost looks really badass. Though it's a shame that Ghost is being used as Ant-Man villain for the movies instead of an Iron Man villain like he originally was and how "he" is being switched into a "she" for whatever reason but ok, just make her good.

Kevin Chiat @kevinchiat
Was that the The Ghost (Iron Man villain) in the Ant-Man and Wasp trailer?

Ji-Joe Ai~! Love, Live, Bless Aqours @OpticronPrimal
I figured Ghost would be perfect for either an Iron Man or Ant-Man film since they use tech to make themselves invisible or intangible while also being real good at hacking and inventing.

Some of you might wondering what was going through the minds of the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles when they won their respective Conference Championships two weeks. I can tell you this, the Patriots had a bit anxiety in them from losing the first half off their game to the Jacksonville Jaguars and losing Rob Gronkowski yo a head injury was the toughest part to get by. However, as we all know, the Pats do what they do best, turn the game around and make the comeback of a lifetime and sealed the Jaguars' faith one game winning touchdown. The Eagles has no pressure against the Minnesota Vikings, even though they gave up a touchdown on the opening drive, but the Vikings never scored again after that. The party got started for the Eagles when they got an interception turned touchdown and soon after they scored 38 points to get into the Super Bowl. To hear all the action and drama from those two games, Web Choice is posting another batch of videos from the NFL YouTube Channel called "MIC'D UP", plus a video preview on whether or not the Eagles can beat the Patriots.
