Today's UPDATES

We're been talking about the RAW side of WWE SummerSlam's match card for this Sunday, and now it's time see what SmackDown Live has to offer. Written right here in today's Max Sports rundown, the Blue Brand has shown it has a couple of personal matches that can live up to the same potential as the storylines on Monday Night Raw, one match that has been building for eight years is Daniel Bryan vs The Miz, since the start of NXT in 2010 all the way to Talking Smack in 2016, this is going to be a showdown for the ages, and now we get see who is the better wrestler, the answer to that question will decided this Sunday. Carmella will have to defend the SmackDown Women's Championship in a triple threat match against both Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, so the champ is doing everything she can to get the upper hand on the two by turning them against each other, unfortantely it hasn't worked at all. Another personal match up from SmackDown is Shinsuke Nakamura vs Jeff Hardy for the United States Championship with Randy Orton lurking in the shadows waiting to make his move against "The Charismatic" Jeff Hardy who finds himself with a target on his back against The Viper. The New Day will get another shot at the SmackDown Tag Team Titles against The Bludgeon Brothers and it's going to take everything that the former team has to take down this massive threat, and speaking of threats, Samoa Joe has been seen as a major threat towards AJ Styles and his WWE Championship at SummerSlam, Joe has even gone as far as to bring Styles' family into the conflict, and Styles wasn't gonna have it no more with Joe and wants to finish this once and for all. However, Styles will have wait until Sunday just like the rest of us as SummerSlam is now four days, one thing readers of #KlicKNet will not have to wait is new results from MLB.

This week, students of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School kick off their first school year since the deadly shooting in February 14th which claimed 17 innocent lives. For today's #TwitterTrend, we're going to understand how difficult it's going to be for these teens to go to back this school after all of those months removed from having to witness the horrible events in February unfold. Parkland, Florida has been the same or at least different in a good way since the shootings and as the school season is about to begin, you wonder if anyone from that school wants to go back, but these students will have to move from the past and concentrate on their future. On the bright side of things, security has been tightened at that school nobody with the wrong intentions will be even trying to make an attack on any students as they start the new school year in Parkland, one student named Lauren Hogg said that she spent the whole with March For Our Lives which has been traveling across the country in their fight for gun reform. With the Midterm Elections coming up in November, there will be plenty of time for these brave teenagers to make their voices heard and a lot of them will be voting on November 6th to make change in America actually happen. Having said all that, pay close attention to the following tweets down below and sse what some of the brave students have to say about coming back to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

It’s been half a year since 17 MSD eagles have hugged their parents and shared laughs with friends. I miss a time when Parkland was just another suburb, and the 17 enjoyed life like everyone else. Show some extra love to your loved ones♥️

Prepare yourself for another installment of #JustSoYouKnow, yesterday a new detail about WWE 2K19 was revealed, and that is that the 2K Showcase Mode will return to the game. After first appearing in 2K15, then coming back in 2K16, and then not making the cut in 2K17 and 2K18, the Showcase Mode is making big comeback in the newest installment of WWE 2K, and the storyline for the mode is quite fitting for it centers upon one superstar that has had the most compelling career in recent memories. I am talking about Daniel Bryan who was medically cleared to return to in-ring competition last March and then went on to WrestleMania 34 this year in New Orleans to do what he loves to do. Watching Daniel Bryan all these has been a thrilling, but emotional journey, but having to experience it in a video game is going to be a different story for the 2K Showcase will present Daniel Bryan as he tell his story in his own words in the single-player mode. There will be 11 historical matches we can play, and one more "surprise" match, for a total of 12 Daniel Bryan-centric bouts, this will include Bryan's first WWE match, as Bryan Danielson, against John Cena. in 2003 episode of Velocity. In addition, the mode will span the entire course of Daniel Bryan's time in WWE, so there will be 11 different models of him, each of which will have their own movesets and unique appearances, and there will be eight new entrances for Bryan and 11 victory scenes. Which means we'll all be playing as Daniel Bryan taking on Triple H at WrestleMania XXX and then later on play Daniel Bryan against Randy Orton and Batista to win the WWE Championship, although we don't know if that match be one of the 12 that will be included into the 2K Showcase Mode. In the meantime, we'll be looking for more updates towards the release of WWE 2K19 in October and hopefully learn more about this new experience, in fact, you can see a preview of the new mode right down below.
