Today's UPDATES

Consider this being the last NBA Free Agency news from Max Sports as stories about players signing on to new teams has dwindled down for the past couple of days. So Carmelo Anthony has officially signed a deal with the Houston Rockets which is an one-year, $2.4 million contract, the veteran forward is expected to join Chris Paul, James Harden and the Rockets who will soon fill their void at forward after the team lost Trevor Ariza and Luc Mbah a Moute during free agency. Some people looking towards the 2019 NBA Free Agency season next year, and the possibilities for that are limitless, we could see Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant going to the New York Knicks come 2019, but the latter of those two players made it clear that he wants to continue playing with the Golden State Warriors. Kawhi Leonard says we wants to play with the Los Angeles Lakers, unfortunately he could not be traded their for this upcoming season, but thanks to a trade between the San Antonio Spurs and Toronto Raptors, that could all be possible next season once Leonard is a free agent. Klay Thompson has made an interest in playing with the Lakers in 2019, since he has won three rings with the Warriors, there's not much he can actually prove while playing with Golden State, these are only a few possibilities for next year and they all depend on what happens this upcoming NBA Season which starts October 16th. While we for NBA action to begin here's brand new results from last night MLB games and new matches added to this Sunday's WWE SummerSlam.

WWE SummerSlam is getting hotter by the minute, and last night on Monday Night Raw, things just got a whole lot of hotter. First of all, the wrestling world is saddened by the news that broke out yesterday that the Legendary Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart passed away at the age of 63, the entire Hart family is devastated by this, especially Neidhart's daughter and current WWE Superstar Natalya. WWE was kind enough to play a special tribute to The Anvil last night on Raw as everyone would share their thoughts, prayers and condolences to Neidhart's family and friends. Moving on to the action that took place on Raw last night, Alexa Bliss did everything that she could to get away from Ronda Rousey knowing that her Raw Women's Title was in jeopardy at SummerSlam, she even called for her own security team but not even that could keep The Rowdy One down for long. Meanwhile, Roman Reigns who came out to share his final thoughts about facing Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, was approach by Paul Heyman who made Reigns an offer to be The Big Dog's advocate. Heyman tried to convince Reigns to see reason on the situation with Lesnar, he even gave him an agreement written on paper to make the offer more appealing, but this was nothing more than a ruse as Heyman, ever the sneaky slimeball, would maced Roman with pepper spray. It would allowed the Universal Champion to came out and do what he does best and beat a blinded Roman Reigns senseless in the ring. To see these stories and more from a visual standpoint, viewers of #KlicKNet, brace yourself for RAW edition Web Choice playlist.

Finally from last night's RAW, Kurt Angle held a contract signing for the Intercontinental Championship between Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins, though Rollins had not shown up yet due to "travel issues" or so we thought. Rollins had arrived at the arena all along, but we was waiting until Ziggler to sign the contract to make his move, for the contract said that Rollins could have anyone in his corner for the IC Title this Sunday, and since Ziggler had Drew McIntyre in his corner, Rollins knew exactly who to chose. None other that THE LUNATIC FRINGE DEAN "MOTHERFREAKING" AMBROSE appeared, and he looked as great as ever with a new haircut; together the two Shield brethren cleaned house against Ziggler and McIntyre, and before Raw went off the air Rollins would sign the contract making the IC Title Match official. I knew from when I woke up this morning that this would be the #TwitterTrend that I wanted to discuss, but this is only half the discussion, it's time to see what other wrestling fans think about the return of the Lunatic Fringe.

In the closing moments of Monday Night Raw, Dean Ambrose returned to WWE TV for the first time in eight months. After the long layoff due to a triceps injury, he'll be in Seth Rollins' corner for Rollins' Intercontinental title... http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41027647-4

Dean Ambrose has earned my respect by being one of the few wrestlers still respecting the tradition of making his big return with a new haircut. No fringe jokes here, looks good.

Sharon Jesang  🇰🇪 @jesang_
It’s so weird seeing Dean Ambrose  with short hair, but it’s good to see him!

Chris Manno @Mann_O_Steel17
@wwe Okay, so Dean Ambrose is jakked, got a much needed haircut, and came back on fire. Please, please from all of us... Don’t mess this up. An intense, no BS, no corny written jokes or lines Lunatic, is a good Lunatic. Think Ambrose/Ziggler promo 8/2/2016. We all thank you🙏🏻
