#JustSoYouKnow FRiDAY

With Super Bowl LIII days away, why don't we turn our attention to this weekend, WWE Royal Rumble weekend that is, it's the subject of today's Max Sports rundown. Tomorrow, it's another exiting NXT TakeOver event on the WWE Network, and it's going LIVE from the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, Arizona, featuring five outstanding matches which ought to continue to prove how hot the NXT Brand has become. Tommaso Ciampa defends the NXT Championship against the man the stole it from last Summer, Aleister Black who is dying to get revenge on "The Blackheart of NXT" for some time now after having to deal with Johnny Gargano for quite sometime now. Speak of Gargano, he has set his sights on the NXT North American Championship and will look to to take it against "The One and Only" Ricochet, there's also a NXT Tag Team Championship match between The Undisputed Era's Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong and War Raiders Hanson and Rowe. Plus, the NXT Women's Championship is on the line when the Dangerous Shayna Baszler defends her title against the UN-DE-FEAT-ED Bianca Belair, the only match on the TakeOver: Phoenix match card that is not for any championships is Matt Riddle vs Kassius Ohno, a grudge match that been brewing since the "King of Bros" made his NXT debut, and has seen a new and unsportsmanlike attitude in the "Knockout Artist." Moving on to this Sunday, it's the 2019 Royal Rumble from Chase Field in Phoenix, like everyone else, I'm dying to see how WWE sets up the stage for this Sunday's event for it's been since 2003 that the company has a used a large baseball field to hold one of its big event. That day was WrestleMania XIX at Safeco Field and the way they setup the stage for that even was amazing, but we're to talk matches taking place at the Royal Rumble this Sunday. Like last year, there will be two Royal Rumble matches for both the Men's and Women's Divisions in the WWE, Seven Championships are on the line, two of them will be defended on the two-kickoff show with Rusev vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the U.S. Championship and Buddy Murphy vs Akira Tozawa vs Kalisto vs Hideo Itami in a Fatal 4-Way match for the Cruiserweight Championship. As for the rest, The Bar defends their SmackDown Tag Team Titles against Shane McMahon and The Miz, of all people, both Women's Titles are on the line with Ronda Rousey vs Sasha Banks for the Raw Women's Championship and Asuka defending the SmackDown Women's Title against former Champ Becky Lynch. Finally, there's "The New" Daniel Bryan vs "The Real" AJ Styles for the WWE Championship, you have no idea how personal this has gotten between these two men, but the most exciting championship match this Sunday has to be Brock Lesnar vs Finn Bálor for the Universal Championship. Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow and this Sunday, but before then, check out a few new results from the NBA, NHL, NXT and NXT UK.

This week's #JustSoYouKnow moment takes us back to last Tuesday night, when Disney Parks revealed that the first-of-its-kind Zootopia-themed land would be coming to Shanghai Disneyland Park. Construction has been said to begin later on this year and more details are most likely to made at the D23 Expo Park Announcement Panel hosted by Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Bob Chapek in August. You can certainly bet that fans of the Disney Parks in Paris, Tokyo, and here in the United States are jealous of Shanghai Disney resort being the first to get an immersive themed land based on the Academy award-winning animated feature, Zootopia made more great success in China than in the United States and was the highest grossing animated film in the country of China. So how do Disney Park fans feel about the movie getting its own land in the near future? Let's take a look at a few of them in the following videos that they made on YouTube.
