WWE

John Cena shocked the wrestling world when he turned heel on Cody Rhodes ... but The Miz didn't bat an eye -- 'cause he tells TMZ Sports he's ALWAYS known he was a bad guy!!

We caught up with the WWE Superstar out at LAX ... and he gloated quite a bit over the fact he called this development from a mile away -- like, more than 10 YEARS ago!!

"Do you not remember WrestleMania 27 going into the main event," Miz said. "Do you not remember all the promos that I have cut on John Cena? All the feuds I've had with John Cena?"

WWE legend Bret Hart is reflecting on his iconic WrestleMania 13 showdown with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin ahead of its Hall of Fame induction ... telling TMZ Sports it was by far "the best match I ever had."

Hart -- who is also in the Hall as an individual and as a member of the Hart Foundation -- got poetic about the submission match ... comparing it to listening to The Beatles' "Hey Jude," as it's perfect each and every time he revisits it.

The match was bloody and tough as could be ... with Hart putting Austin in Sharpshooter, but his opponent refused to tap and was rendered unconscious.

Mick Foley tells TMZ Sports he's "feeling much better" after he was involved in a horrific car crash last week ... and he gave personal shoutouts to "Lady Luck," "The Man Upstairs" and Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson for helping him get through it!

The wrestling icon flipped his car while he was driving on a Florida roadway on April 1 ... and despite his ride looking like a beat-up tin can, Foley somehow escaped relatively unscathed.

He told us on Wednesday all he sustained were some scratches, bumps and bruises -- and while his upper body was still a bit sore, he said he's going to be just fine.

An OnlyFans model says her gig at WWE -- and even John Cena -- taught her all she needed to know to become a winner in the ring of adult content creation.

Erika Amore worked in marketing for WWE until she got laid off amid the coronavirus pandemic, and she tells TMZ she quickly realized the job served as the best experience possible to make her NSFW content super successful.

As a marketing professional, she says she learned the ins and outs of content creation and distribution, from script writing to the best equipment to use for shooting, and beyond -- which goes hand-in-hand with producing drool-worthy content.

Time clearly doesn't heal all wounds ... 'cause WWE legend Bret Hart still can't trust Hulk Hogan -- telling TMZ Sports his longtime nemesis is a straight-up fibber.

Hart and Hogan's beef goes back decades ... with the former accusing the latter of deliberately trying to step on his shine, as well as the two not seeing eye-to-eye on their approaches to wrestling.

Well, it's the year 2025 and there's still plenty of drama ... 'cause Hart made it clear he's not the biggest fan of the Hulkster while revisiting a moment leading up to WrestleMania IX in 1993, which is documented in a new Peacock original, 'Becoming a Spectacle.'

CM Punk already has Paul Heyman in his corner for his Wrestlemania match ... and now one of the hottest comedians also has his back -- 'cause the WWE Superstar teamed up with Bert Kreischer for some tag team action on "Raw!"

The 52-year-old showed off his in-ring ability once "Monday Night Raw" went off the air. After hopping the barricade and taking off his shirt in record time (of course, that's Bert's thing), he found himself face-to-face with Grayson Waller and Austin Theory.

Unlike Andrew Schulz, he didn't need any saving. Once Punk dropped both of them with his signature move ... he called Bert into the ring -- who delivered two chokeslams with some authority.

Charlotte Flair just publicly opened up on her divorce from Andrade for the first time ... and it's clear, the decision to split from her former lover tore her apart.

The WWE Superstar sat down with Sherri Shepherd to promote the upcoming WrestleMania 41 event on Friday's episode of "Sherri" ... and at one point in the conversation, she got emotional when asked how she handled her breakup with Manuel Alfonso Andrade Oropeza while she was trying to return to the ring from a serious knee injury.

Flair told Shepherd simply, "I didn't," and began to break down in tears.

Mick Foley is counting his blessings following his Tuesday car wreck ... saying he feels lucky to have walked away with only minor injuries -- adding he's already planning on hitting the road again!

Foley took to his Facebook and Instagram pages to update concerned fans on his status after the April 1 crash, explaining it feels like he's been "run over by a truck," though thankfully he avoided serious injury.

"The idea that someone would be in an accident like this and walk away with only soft tissue injury makes me feel like someone was looking out for me! Thank you to all of you who sent well wishes."

WWE legend Mick Foley says he suffered a minor concussion in a terrifying car accident on Tuesday ... admitting he has "no idea how I am still walking around" after the wreck.

The 59-year-old posted a picture from the scene to his Instagram ... showing him posing by an absolutely mangled vehicle with a fire truck and police cruiser off in the distance.

Foley says he has since checked himself into a hospital ... and he's sore from his knees to his neck.

Hulk Hogan and his wife Sky Daily may have just responded to the Hogan family drama ... and they seem amused.

The pair posted a joint video on Instagram Saturday night looking quite entertained as they chowed down on some popcorn. The video had no caption and neither said a single word ... but the message seems pretty clear.

The post seems like no coincidence considering the massive amount of drama that went down this week with his ex-wife, Linda Hogan, and his daughter, Brooke Hogan.

If Browns superfan The Miz was running his favorite NFL team, he tells TMZ Sports he would NOT take a quarterback in the first round of the league's draft next month!!

The WWE Superstar put on his imaginary Cleveland general manager cap for us out at LAX earlier this week ... and explained he'd pass on both Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders if he was in charge of the Dawg Pound's war room.

He said he'd rather trade the Atlanta Falcons for Kirk Cousins ... and then draft Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter with the No. 2 overall pick.

Linda Hogan's feud with her daughter Brooke has her defending Hulk Hogan ... calling him a great father who doesn't deserve to be iced out from Brooke's life.

In a shocking twist, Hulk's ex-wife tells TMZ ... Brooke cutting off the family for "bogus, selfish, childish reasons" will have long-term consequences -- ensuring her kids never realize their grandfather is the great Hulk Hogan.

Linda says she's sad she won't be a grandmother to them ... but, she wants the kids to know how big a star their granddad was.

Brooke Hogan's husband is standing up for his better half -- seemingly lashing out at Linda and Hulk Hogan despite not using either of their names.

Steven Oleksy -- a former professional hockey player -- took to social media Saturday to defend his wife from numerous attacks on her character ... dropping a lengthy social media post in her defense.

It's a long message ... and, we highly recommend reading it all yourself -- but, basically, Steven says he can no longer stand by while his wife faces vicious attacks from Linda.

Saraya and All Elite Wrestling have gone their separate ways ... and while the former WWE Superstar is excited to pursue opportunities outside of the squared-circle, she tells TMZ Sports she'd seriously consider a return to her old promotion.

We caught up with Saraya shortly after news broke of her contract with AEW coming to an end ... and she reiterated it was a mutual split from both sides.

"Tony [Khan] was great throughout the whole process," she said. "He was very supportive of everything. I just wanted to get my toes wet outside of wrestling."

Linda Hogan is ready for all-out war with Brooke after her daughter's shocking allegations of abuse ... 'cause their one-time rift has turned into an all-out feud that may get litigious fast!

Here's the deal ... the mother-daughter "Hogan Knows Best" duo are in a bitter public back-and-forth over their falling out years ago, which came to a head on Friday when legal threats were leveled.

Linda -- Hulk's ex-wife -- tells TMZ ... she's ready to take Brooke to court if her smear campaign continues ... namely her daughter accusing her of physical abuse when she was a child.

11:55 AM PT -- The back-and-forth continues ... Brooke Hogan just clapped back at her mother Linda's earlier statement calling her a narcissist.

BH posted a detailed, if reluctant, response on IG, saying she never asked for any of this and was trying to avoid the whole thing, calling out "false claims" made by her mom.

Specifically she addresses Linda's timeline of their relationship, pointing out she has a photo -- which she also posted -- of her mother meeting Brooke's husband, which conflicts with Linda saying Brooke hasn't spoken to her in years ... and she claims Linda deleted something about having "never met my husband and she doesn't even know what his name is." Receipts are crucial.

Linda Hogan -- Hulk's ex-wife -- is denying claims she was ever physically or verbally abusive to her daughter, Brooke ... instead calling Brooke a "narcissist" who attacked her.

The mother-of-two fired back at Brooke's claims in a lengthy Facebook post from just a few hours ago ... claiming narcissism runs deep in the family -- and, both Brooke and Hulk suffer from it.

LH then admits she may have spanked Brooke on one occasion and called her a couple names ... but, claims she never treated her daughter as poorly as she claims -- adding Brooke had a cell phone and could've easily posted all about this alleged abuse back in the day if she wanted to.
