Today's UPDATES

Is anyone having a bad case of WrestleMania Hangover because I know I am. Some are probably wondering why this post is coming in so late in the day, but I will discuss the matter tomorrow. Right now, let's talk about what an unbelievable WrestleMania 34 it was at the Superdome in New Orleans, and boy oh boy did it have everything, there were some things you were expected that didn't happen and some things that you never saw coming, and is what is really what WrestleMania is all about. I can tell the KickOff seemed stellar with "WOKEN" Matt Hardy winning the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, my all favorite cruiserweight Cedric Alexander (no relation) won the Cruiserweight Championship, and Naomi surprised a lot of people by winning the first ever WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal. Moving to the main card, Seth Rollins, Jinder Mahal, the Bludgeon Brothers, and Nia Jax all walked out of the Superdome with Championship Gold on their shoulders, even Braun Strowman, who did the most stunning thing imaginable, he picked a 10-year-old fan to be his tag team partner and together they won the Raw Tag Team Championships. That was just as shocking as the many other matches on the table, Charlotte Flair did the impossible and beat the undefeated Asuka to hold to the SmackDown Women's Championship, AJ Styles outmatched Shinsuke Nakamura to retain the WWE Title but was then greeted with a gross sign of disrespect by Nakamura. We all wondered if The Undertaker would ever show up to WrestleMania but John Cena hoped for a match against the deadman and found himself against a true legend whose has been in league of his own for more than two decades. Brock Lesnar put on a Suplex/F5 clinic last night and took out a bloodied Roman Reigns to remain Universal Champion, Ronda Rousey was superb in her in-ring debut and with the help of Kurt Angle, gave Stephanie McMahon and Triple H exactly what they deserved, and I was more than happy to see Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn get what they deserved as well when they lost to Shane McMahon and the Leader of the YES Movement Daniel Bryan whose return to in-ring competition and victory both had me in tears last night. A lot has happened yesterday and leave it to Max Sports to keep you all updated on the results of Mania 34, plus one last NHL game was played before the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin Wednesday and another quick look at the NBA Standings.

We all the know that the most exicting part about WrestleMania is the Monday Night Raw after Mania, and who knows what we will tonight when the Raw superstars prepare for another big night in New Orleans. Before we can get there, Web Choice gathered up some of the highlights of WrestleMania 34 last night including Daniel Bryan's reaction to returning to the one place in the world he likes to go to, and Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle celebrate their triumph over Team McMahon. There is so much emotions from the winners and losers last night but some of them are all grateful they could be apart of history, and as a fellow WWE fan, I hope we can see more moments like those next year when WrestleMania 35 is at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Enough talk for more, time to get the best reaction on all things WrestleMania.
