Today's UPDATES

Happy President's Day, a day that I know all too well because it sometimes kickoffs my Birthday Week, for tomorrow I'm turning 23-Years-Old. We could talk about last night's NBA All-Star Game, but I knew right from start that the most talked about event from last night would be WWE Elimination Chamber, and it will be the subject of today's Max Sports recap. First off, the Elimination Chamber match for the inaugural WWE Women's Tag Team Championship, the first two teams to start the match were Bayley & Sasha Banks of The Boss 'N' Hug Connection and Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville of Fire and Desire, interestingly enough they outlasted the four others teams who came out of their pods. The match lasted for 33 minutes and ended when Sasha Banks made Sonya Deville submit with the Bank Statement allow her and Bayley to become the first ever WWE Women's Tag Team Champions, and about 20 minutes later, The Usos would end the SmackDown Tag Team Championship Run of The Miz & Shane McMahon to capture their sixth Tag Team Championship in their careers. Only after that Finn Bálor won his first ever Intercontinental Championship in a Handicap match no less, the plot point in this was that he pinned Lio Rush and not the actual Champion Bobby Lashley who was SUPER SUPER PISSED that he lashed out on poor Lio Rush. Next match was Ruby Riott vs Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women's Championship but I'll get into that later, 'cause we're moving on to Braun Strowman vs Baron Corbin in a No Disqualification match, the Monster Among Men seemed to be having his way until until he was ganged up from behind by Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley, the latter of course was still SUPER SUPER PISSED earlier and with Corbin's help, the three big men stood on two steel steps and triple power-bombed the Biggest Man in the Ring through double tables, allowing Corbin to win. Finally, the Main Event was for the WWE Championship and took place inside of the Elimination Chamber, the match lasted 36 minutes and 40 seconds, Samoa Joe was the first one to be eliminated after a Phenomenal Forearm by AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy showed off some innovated moves, one of which was when he stood on top of one of the pods with Styles laying on his stomach on the top turnbuckle and Jeff would Swanton Bomb him right on the back, but soon "The New" Daniel Bryan would eliminate Jeff after hitting the running knee. Randy Orton was the last person to enter the Chamber gave a RKO to AJ Styles making him the next man out. Kofi Kingston would entered the Chamber third was outstanding for the entire match, eliminating Orton with Trouble in Paradise and going toe-to-toe with Daniel Bryan for the conclusion of the match, just when it appeared was about to win the WWE Championship, Daniel caught him right where he wanted him and hit the running knew for the 1-2-3. So Daniel Bryan is still WWE Champion, but the Kofi Kingston and standing ovation from the entire WWE Universe for the his performance last night. After that explosive Pay-Per-View, see what else went down in sports yesterday and what will happen tonight in the NHL.

The match that we did not get to talk about from WWE Elimination Chamber was between Ruby Riott and Ronda Rousey, it lasted only 1 minute and 40 seconds, Ronda did not keep her eyes off of Charlotte Flair who was at ringside watching the whole, and the reason that "The Queen" was there was because of what happened last Monday Night on Raw. Mr. McMahon suspended Becky Lynch for 60 Days after she assaulted his daughter Stephanie and son-in-law Triple H, and to make matters worst for "The Man", the Chairman would take away Becky's shot at the Raw Women's Championship at WrestleMania and replaced with Charlotte, that was certainly a real slap in the face. Prior to before the Chamber event started, Becky only out of the crowd at a live event and attacked Charlotte only to have re-injured at the hands of Flair, so after Ronda had beaten Ruby and Charlotte enter the ring to confront the Champion, but then Becky came from out of the crowd again last night, this time on crutches. Soon "The Man" started hitting both Flair and Rousey with the pair of crutches as she has been pushed around long enough, soon security took her away from the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. This surprise mid-suspension visit from "The Man" would not only add more fuel to the ever-growing fire of WrestleMania Season, but it also whipped fans into a frenzy, and comparisons quickly followed afterwards, so let's take a look at today's #TwitterTrend in which Becky Lynch gave off some major Stone Cold vibes.
