Today's UPDATES

How was everybody's Monday yesterday? Mine: full of twists and turns, the same can be said for the Superstars of SmackDown LIVE that were sent to Monday Night Raw last night. Max Sports has all the names of each superstar apart of the Superstar Shake-Up down below in the result column, and you will see that Raw went ALL IN which acquire the best superstars from SmackDown LIVE, such as the GLORIOUS Bobby Roode, Baron Corbin, The Riott Squad, and even Zack Ryder. Dolph Ziggler was also apart of the Shake-Up and claimed last night that he did not come to Raw alone, he brought with him former NXT Champion Drew McIntyre and together they look out Titus WorldWide with an impressive combo of wrestling moves. As some may know, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn were fired from SmackDown LIVE, they tried to get their jobs back at WrestleMania, but failed to do so, then on the Raw after WrestleMania they failed again when they could beat each other in an one-on-one match. Luckily for them, an e-mail from Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon stated that Owens and Zayn were awarded Raw contracts they decided to celebrate with The Miz and his Miztourage. But the bromance ended when Kurt Angle announced that The Miz would be the first Raw superstar headed to SmackDown at the request of Daniel Bryan, but Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel of the Miztourage would stay on Raw, and during the main event, those two bailed on The Miz in 10-Man Tag Team match which was won by the Team of Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Seth Rollins, Bobby Lashley and Bobby Roode. By the way, Jinder Mahal was sent to Raw and then put in a match against Jeff Hardy for the United States Championship, and in a shocking turn of events, The Charismatic Jeff Hardy won the title with the greatest of ease. So that's a full recap of Night One of the Superstar Shake-Up, Night Two takes place on SmackDown tonight, in the meantime, see the latest develop in the NBA and NHL Playoffs.

From Raw to SmackDown: The Miz

Some people might not understand this next story I'm about to share, but The Miz going to SmackDown LIVE is a very big deal. Mainly because it could mean that we get to Daniel Bryan, who was medically cleared to wrestle just before WrestleMania, get his hands on one of his Greatest Foes at long last. As part of the WWE's Superstar Shakeup, The Miz must go to SmackDOwn without the Miztourage, his long rivalry with Daniel Bryan dates back to when Bryan debut in WWE way back in 2010. Son now that Bryan is medically cleared after two-year of absence from the, fans cannot hold their excitement because they want to see this personal rivalry settled in the ring once and for all. For #KlickNet, this a #TwitterTrend that I could not pass up for and I am now proud to say that I have the reactions from many WWE fans even The Miz and Daniel Bryan about being on the same brand and wanting to have it out for a couple of years.
WWE @WWE

Nubyjas Wilborn @nwilborn19
Tbqh if they play it right, why not until Mania next year?

Robert Littal @BSO
I know better to trust the WWE went something like that

Last Sunday, we talked about about the upcoming expansions that were taking place at the Universal Orlando Resort, a fourth park does seem more than likely. We said that Fast & Furious: Supercharged was going through a soft opening this past weekend for the first few riders, and believe is a ride I would kill to be on because it's "Fast & Furious," go figure. The queue areas and pre-show for this new attraction are outstanding and the buses in which you hop on to prepare for the ride are even more incredible. One of the things that make the Orlando verison more fun than the one at Universal Studios Hollywood is that Ludacris and Jordana Brewster are featured exclusively in Orlando as their characters from the Fast & Furious franchise, Tej Parker and Mia Toretto respectively. Universal Orlando was able to add a few easter eggs and small tributes to current and previous rides and attraction from the resort such as Beetlejuice, Disaster: A Major Motion Picture Ride...Starring You, Back to the Future, Harry Potter and Jurassic Park. It was also nice of them to add a small tribute to Paul Walker who passed away during production of Furious 7, I hop park goers can spot these things within the queue area and pre-show so they can really live the experience off being a Fast & Furious movie. Web Choice is giving the viewers of #KlicKNet a collection of pictures and videos that were taken from different angles during the soft opening of the ride.
This Car and Doll run on Beetle Juice
For Paul
Can you feel the Back to the Future vibes?
Notice the Harry Potter and Jurassic easter eggs in these?
There's Brian, Mia and Tej
