Today's UPDATES

This just in, the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball National Champions are the Villanova Wildcats, and let's just say there was no sweat on them. They defeated the Michigan Wolverines by seventeen points (which shockingly enough is my lucky number) and just like that, the Wildcats became National Champions since last they won it two years ago in 2016. Only some can wonder if these means that Villanova has a Dynasty on their hands, but that all depends if they can make it to the big dance next year when the NCAA Final Four comes to Minneapolis, Minnesota at the US Bank Stadium. Max Sports is all in for Playoff Madness this month with the NHL Season coming to an end on Saturday and the Stanley Cup Playoffs will commence on April 11th (Next Wednesday). Meanwhile, the NBA Season just happens to end on the same exact night, which that teams who are in contention in NBA Playoffs have one last week to get into good position once the Playoffs start on April 14th. Finally, WrestleMania 34 is just five days and although the match card for this Sunday in New Orleans is looking really good, there's still something missing to it, and that would be The Undertaker. John Cena made one last attempt to call out the Undertaker last night on Monday Night Raw, but still nothing, so either this will be the first since the year 2000 that he will miss WrestleMania, or he really does have one last fight in him for a all-star dream match against John Cena. There's more of these stories on the way this week and we have games and results from all the best places and also a special look at both the NBA and NHL Standings.

When it comes to NCAA March Madness, there is nothing that some sponsors for the Tournament will not do for draw attention to their products, and today's #TwiterTrend is living proof of that. Yesterday, people were lining up at many Little Caesars pizza store locations to get their own free pizza courtesy of the UMBC Retrievers' unexpected victory over the #1 ranked Virginia Cavaliers in the NCAA Tournament. As we all know by now, the Retrievers over Virginia marked the first time a 16-seed had ever defeated a 1-seed in the tournament out of 135 previous match-ups, and what that means for Little Caesars customers is that they will get a free "HOT-N-READY" Lunch Combo to every family that goes to the nearest Little Caesars from 11:30 AM to 1PM. That offer would only has yesterday and boy oh boy did people cash-in that that incredible offer, I mean I could have if my family would have let me, but I guess when the next #16 seeded team in future pulls off another impressive upset against a #1 Seed, I'll be ready for them. Now about those people who I sadi before "cashed-in" yesterday, they were able to share their excitement to the entire Twitterverse and the tweets and just to delicious to look out.

There, I said it.

Before we go, let's talk a little bit more about The Road to WrestleMania, which is taking us all the way to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome this Sunday. We know know that the match for the 34th Edition of The Show of Shows jam packed with matches of the best superstars of Raw and SmackDown, we will have two Battle Royals for both the Men and Woman, we will crown a new Cruiserweight Champion between Cedric Alexander and Mustafa Ali, The Miz will put the Intercontinental Championship on the line in what could be one of the best triple threat matches in recent history against Seth Rollins and Finn Balor, and Nia Jax looks for payback against Alexa Bliss who wants to Walk out of WrestleMania still the Raw Women's Champion. Those are just a few of the big time matches that are set for this Sunday, we also have Team Rousey vs Team McMahon in which Ronda Rousey will make her WWE in-ring debut when she teams up with Kurt Angle to take on Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, everything about this match is going be very fun to watch and I cannot wait to see the outcome of it. But the most personal match on the table is between the Universal Champion Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns who last wrestled each other in a one-on-one match at WrestleMania three years ago. Paul Heyman has made it clear time after time that Roman Reigns has no chance at beating Lesnar for the Universal Championship just because Heyman thinks that Reigns isn't tough enough for the job, Reigns has claimed that Lensar doesn't respect anything or anyone in the WWE. One of the main reason that Lesnar has held onto the Universal Championship for over a year is because he has had fewer title defenses and that is because he hasn't show for every pay-per-view of the year The Raw locker room had deal with this part-time champion long enough and hope that Roman Reigns does them all a favor take back the Universal Title from Brock Lesnar, and to that, I say "Go Reigns Go!" To learn more about these upcoming showdowns, Web Choice takes you back to last night on the final Raw before Mania 34.
