Tom Brady and Logan Paul may have the perfect place to settle their beef ... the squared circle at an upcoming WWE event!

TMZ Sports has learned there are ongoing conversations between the 7x Super Bowl-winning quarterback and World Wrestling Entertainment -- meaning TB12 could soon find himself staring down his WWE Superstar rival in the ring, mano a mano.

It all makes perfect sense now.

The two stars have been trading shots for months, starting with Brady’s appearance on Logan’s 'Impaulsive' podcast earlier this year. Things cooled off for a bit … until this weekend, when it exploded.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers star running back Le'Veon Bell was busted over the weekend ... and it's connected to child support payments, or an alleged lack thereof.

Le'Veon's attorney, Thomas Shaffer, tells TMZ ... Le'Veon did not make support payments, which are based on a healthy NFL salary -- a salary he's not earned in years.

Shaffer notes the support guidelines by law are based on current income, not his NFL salary, so computing these guidelines on inaccurate information is unfair.

Le'Veon allegedly owes more than $50,000 for child support.

The child in question lives in Michigan ... which is why the Michigan Attorney General has the case.

Jermaine Eluemunor had a bird's-eye view of Jaxson Dart's standout rookie season, and the star Giants right tackle says his young QB has what it takes to be the best in the league!

The 31-year-old big fella didn't hold back while chatting with Babcock about the new-look G-Men this week, heaping praise on the young signal-caller ... as the team prepares for the upcoming season with one of the most accomplished coaches in the NFL, John Harbaugh, on the sideline.

"We all want to win, and we have every single piece you can need," Eluemunor said. "We have an elite left tackle [Andrew Thomas]. We have an up-and-coming quarterback who I think can be the best quarterback in the NFL," Jermaine said, before highlighting an array of players on both sides of the football, from Cam Skattebo to rookie Arvell Reese.

Tom Brady's beef with Logan Paul exploded onstage at Friday's Fanatics Fest 2026 when the retired NFL great smacked the WWE star/YouTuber in the head ... but was it all staged?

You be the judge ... In a video posted online, Tom comes face-to-face with Logan in front of a crowd of people recording them using cell-phone cameras. 

New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns is standing nearby as Tom and Logan engage in a heated argument.

Rob Gronkowski's gonna need a few showers after his Fanatics Fest appearance on Thursday ... 'cause his buddy Tom Brady dunked him in a tank full of Raising Cane's sauce!!

The wild moment happened at the popular chicken giant's Fan Zone event ... where a bunch of fans crowded around the GOAT to watch him plunge his former favorite target into 500 gallons of signature sauce.

It turns out Brady had one more highlight in him ... as he threw a perfect spiral at the target, sending Gronk into a dunk tank filled to the brim with the delicious condiment.

Travis Kelce is getting back into his football groove after calling a timeout on his NFL career to marry Taylor Swift in an NBA arena.

Cameras caught the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end working up a sweat Thursday in a training session in Florida ... the first we've seen him work out for the upcoming NFL season since tying the knot with Taylor earlier this month at Madison Square Garden.

Trav was decked out in Nike for his workout, with his duffel in one hand and a sports drink in the other ... and it even looks like he's got his wedding band on.

Stefon Diggs is slamming the man suing him for alleged sexual assault … and he vehemently denies whipping out his penis while they were hanging out.

The NFL star called out Christopher Griffith as they continue their back-and-forth in court ... saying Griffith's claims about Stefon's penis is "completely false and defamatory."

As we've reported, Stefon sued Chris for spreading alleged lies about him, and Christopher countersued over an alleged assault on May 22, 2023, at Stefon's Maryland home.

Christopher claims Stefon took out his penis and tried to make sexual advances, which Chis rejected, after Stefon drugging him. He said Stefon had his brother and two other men attack him a week later to keep him silent. Stefon says the entire thing never happened and Christopher caused his rep harm.

The Davie Police Department just released images of the alleged injuries Geno Smith and his female employee sustained during an incident at his home ... fresh off the investigation being put on ice due to a lack of evidence.

In the pictures, Smith had three visible marks on his face ... and cops stated the New York Jets quarterback also had a bump on his head, although it's hard to spot in the snapshot taken at the scene.

As for the woman, there was a bloody abrasion between her thumb and index finger. She also had a notable bruise on her arm.

Jermaine Eluemunor was born in London and didn't leave England until he was a teenager, so naturally the massive NY Giants offensive lineman's first love growing up was football -- but not the American type -- and the NFL star says there was a time he thought he'd go pro!

TMZ Sports talked to the 31-year-old offensive lineman on the eve of his native country's semifinal clash with Lionel Messi and Argentina ... where we chopped it up about the match (more on that in a sec), and his love of soccer.

"I've always been a huge fan of the game. I wanted to play when I was a little kid. I was just too big," the 6'4", 338 lb. tackle told Babcock.

The investigation into assault allegations made against Geno Smith has been put on ice ... with officials stating there's not enough evidence to move forward with the case.

According to the incident report, obtained by TMZ Sports, Smith told Davie (FL) police he was in the shower on June 21 when he heard commotion inside his home. After he got dressed, the New York Jets quarterback said he discovered his manager/son's caretaker inside the residence without his consent ... as he had previously requested she leave his kid with his mother at a guard gate to his community.

Smith explained the woman is his employee .... and while they occasionally engage in casual sex, they are not dating or have any children together.

Smith told cops the woman then started to leave the home with a bag in her hand, and he believed his personal items were inside it ... so he followed her to her vehicle. Smith claimed the woman began to punch and push him ... and he decided to enter her car to take her laptop as "collateral to whatever was in the bag which she took."

The man suing Stefon Diggs over alleged sexual assault claims the NFL star and his team flew him out to hang out on the weekend in question ... this according to new legal docs filed in the case.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Chris Griffith scoffed at Stefon’s request that he turn over records related to his trip to Washington, D.C. in May 2023 ... insisting Diggs already has that info in his possession!

Chris claims he was drugged and sexually assaulted by Stefon during the trip, which Stefon adamantly denies. The NFL star sued Chris for defamation before Chris countered with his suit alleging sexual assault.

In court docs, Chris claims Stefon’s request that he turn over travel docs is a bit absurd since he says Stefon and his team were responsible for making the travel arrangements.

Looks like the Belichick family has more than football to worry about ... Bill Belichick's daughter-in-law is in hot water over an alleged court no-show tied to a North Carolina speeding case.

Jen Belichick -- who's married to Bill's son and UNC defensive coordinator Steve Belichick -- was allegedly clocked driving 88 mph in a 70 mph zone during a May traffic stop in Brunswick County, according to the California Post. She was cited for misdemeanor speeding and ordered to appear in court last Friday ... but prosecutors say she never showed.

As a result, a judge responded by issuing an order for her arrest.

Davante Adams just cranked the Aaron Donald comeback talk from "maybe" to "when is this man signing?!"

The star Rams wide receiver hopped on social media this morning and dropped a throwback pic of him and AD shaking hands on the field last season -- no caption, just straight jet fuel on an already raging fire.

The post comes just days after TMZ Sports published exclusive video of the 35-year-old future Hall of Famer out on the Rams practice field in Woodland Hills Friday afternoon.

Jay-Z is spitting fiction, not facts, when he claims Colin Kaepernick agreed to be silenced by the NFL ... an allegation Jay dropped live on stage at Yankee Stadium, and one refuted by sources speaking to TMZ Sports.

The moment came during Jay's Friday night opener ... in a freestyle rap aimed at his critics, he said, "They run out of characters, had to bring back up Kap again. Buddy took a check, I ain't even mad at him, but along with that check you have to sign a non-disparagement. I’m the one they can’t control."

The shot at Kaepernick -- 7 years after he and the NFL reached a settlement -- had some fans wondering, "Why now?" But, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Sports, the bigger issue is Jay's wrong ... Colin did not sign a non-disparagement agreement when he settled the lawsuit in which he'd claimed NFL teams were colluding to keep him out of the league.

Aaron Donald and Myles Garrett could really do something "special" together ... so says NFL linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who tells TMZ Sports the retired defensive superstar has "plenty in the tank" if he chooses to come back to the L.A. Rams.

KVN and AD were both in the NFL Draft Class of 2014 and are both 35 years old ... and while the former is still active, the latter elected to hang up his helmet in 2024.

There have been talks that could change after the Rams acquired Garrett from the Cleveland Browns earlier this year ... and Van Noy thinks Donald is definitely capable of returning at an elite level.
