Today's UPDATES

Five days left until we get to the Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania 34, and last night on WWE SmackDown LIVE was all about making an impact, Max Sports has the latest. We saw how the superstars of the Blue Brand decide to make one last attempt at impacting the road to WrestleMania, Asuka made an appearance last night and gave the SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair one lase warning before they clash for the title this Sunday. The United States Title will be on the line this Sunday in a Fatal 4-Way match and current champion Randy Orton will deal with Bobby Roode, Jinder Mahal and Rusev who are all gunning to claim that US Title for themselves. Next up is the SmackDown Tag Team Championships which the Usos will defend against The New Day and the dredded Bludgeon Brothers who are tearing tag team competition apart, and let's not forget about the Dream Match for the WWE Championship as Shinsuke Nakamura, who won the Royal Rumble last January, will challenge AJ Styles who seems to have the challenger's numbers before heading to New Orleans. The most emotional match on the SmackDown Live side of WrestleMania involves the in-ring return of Daniel Bryan who will team up with Shane McMahon to take on the team of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, I've been waiting to see something like this for a long time and it quite fitting that Daniel Bryan makes his return to New Orleans which is where he had one of the best WrestleMania moments four years ago. One Raw branded match at WrestleMania that I didn't mention yesterday was about the Raw Tag Team Championship as we still don't who Braun Strowman will pick to be his partner to challenge Cesaro and Sheamus this Sunday, questions remain unanswered, but here one last look at the match for Mania 34 and for NXT TakeOver: New Orleans, plus another look inside the NBA and NHL.

We're in the month of April, so other than WrestleMania, or the NFL Draft, that means another great thing, Avengers: Infinity War comes out at the end of the month. For the Avengers, it could be the end of their world as they know it, Thanos is lurking in the shadows of the Galaxy and it's up to the Heroes of every MCU film to put an end to his wrath once and for all. A week ago, we learned Disney is planning a major Avengers Tour that will start at the Shanghai Disney Resort on April 19 to promote the global release and who knows which cast members will appear in Shanghai for this movie event like no other. However, there's one thing that the cast and crew and Infinity War has best avoid during the press tour is giving away any spoilers for the movie, that is what today's #TwitterTrend is all about and we're going to talk about it right now. Yesterday, Infinity War Directors Anthony and Joe Russo requested that people refrain from revealing any movie details as the press tour begins soon because with it being released Worldwide on the week of April 27th, we don't want to know anything until get we all get to the theater. Crazy enough about this is that the Russo Brothers wrote a letter and then posted it on twitter to explain why it so important to keep the movie as secretive as it is supposed to be. So if you live near a movie theater in the United States, I beg that you wait a little while longer because once APril 27th comes, all best are off, and if the readers of #KlicKNet are listening to this right now, please check out the letter that the Russos posted online and see how others are staying true to their word about not spoiling Avengers: Infinity War.

Avengers: Infinity War is almost upon us, and the film’s directors have a very important request for the internet: Don’t spoil anything.

I'm just gonna go ahead and clear out the morning of the 27th so that I can go watch Infinity War to beat the spoilers.

While April belongs the Avengers, May will be owned by Deadpool 2. The sequel to the hit R-Rated Superhero film will hit theaters May 18th and it promises to be much more funnier than the first. Deadpool promises to break character as always, we will also get to see the X-Force in all of its glory and the big screen sebut of Cable. As some of us may know, Deadpool and the actor that portrays him, Ryan Reynolds, both have something in common, they both have a soft spot in them. To prove that, Web Choice has found a special video that you need to see to believe, Ryan Reynolds decided to present a brand new and bright pink version of his Deadpool costume auction it off to raise money in the on-going fight against cancer for the nonprofit Omaze campaign that says "F___ Cancer." Reynolds is telling the viewers of the video down below that the pink suit is for the "world to see that he has a big old heart-on...that's heart with a 't'...for his new obsession, pink the color, not the singer." "Personally," he said, "I'm more of a Celine guy," so that's classic Deadpool for you right there. I personally like the pink suit as I bet it would look good on a woman, but in all seriousness, this is to help a greater cause and participants of auction can donate anywhere from $10 to $5,000 for a chance to win the pink Deadpool suit. Donations for the campaign is over $1,000+ and include other gifts, such as a signed movie poster or a personalized voicemail message recorded by Deadpool, but let the Man Pink explain it all for you.
