Alexa Bliss is balancing the lifestyles of being a WWE Superstar and a full-time mom ... but she tells TMZ Sports her employer is making it a walk in the park -- 'cause they're incredibly accommodating!!

We caught up with Bliss out at LAX earlier this week ... and she couldn't say enough great things about what the promotion is doing to lend a helping hand as she raises baby Hendrix.

"They've been so great about bringing her on the road," she said. "She's got her own like setup when we go, and she loves it."

Hulk Hogan wants to breathe new life into Hooters ... with his Real American Brands making a bid to buy the iconic restaurant chain's branding, TMZ Sports has learned.

We're told the WWE legend and his company want to acquire the Hooters intellectual property as part of a mission to take over existing brands that represent what America is all about -- "freedom, grit and good times" -- and bring them back to relevance.

"Hooters is more than just wings and nostalgia -- it's part of the American story," the folks at Real American told us. "We see enormous potential to modernize the brand without losing its bold identity. Under our umbrella, Hooters will return to the spotlight as a symbol of unfiltered Americana -- fun, fearless, and proudly American."

Nikki Bella has to pay her ex-husband a whole lotta cash ... including thousands of dollars a month in child support as part of their final divorce settlement.

The former WWE wrestler and her pro dancer ex reached an agreement for Nikki to pay Artem $3,500 each month for the care of their son Matteo. She's also forking over a six-figure lump sum to him -- $100K now, and another $100K before the end of this year.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Nikki's also responsible for covering the cost of Matteo's speech therapist -- but they'll go halfsies on all of his extracurricular activities.

Legendary wrestling commentator Jim Ross just revealed he's dealing with yet another health battle -- alerting his fans of his recent colon cancer diagnosis.

"I appreciate your concern and support," Ross said.

Hulk Hogan just underwent neck surgery ... but TMZ Sports has learned he's already up and runnin' wild!!!

A rep for the wrestling legend tells us ... Hulk required a "little fusion procedure" on Wednesday in an effort to make him "feel a little better."

The 71-year-old, though, required little recovery time, and was back to work on Thursday.

Hulk Hogan's got a new wrestling league ... and he's hopeful he won't be the only major celeb running wild at its inaugural event later this summer -- telling TMZ Sports he wants Donald Trump there too!!

The WWE legend announced this week he, Eric Bischoff and famed coach Israel Martinez have joined together to start Real American Freestyle -- and on Wednesday, he told us he wants POTUS ringside when it all officially kicks off on Aug. 30 in Cleveland.

In fact, Hulk -- who was one of Trump's biggest supporters during his run for president in 2024 -- said he plans to make a phone call to the White House soon to personally extend the invite.

Kristaps Porzingis is embracing the bloody injury he sustained in Game 2 of the Celtics vs. Magic NBA Playoffs series ... saying despite needing five stitches as a result of the shot to his head, he loves his "WWE moments!"

In case you missed it, Porzingis -- who was traded to Boston in 2023 -- took an elbow to the forehead when Magic big man Goga Bitadze went for a rebound off a missed Paolo Banchero shot.

John Cena is celebrating his 48th trip around the sun, and while the WWE Superstar claims you can't see him ... we were able to dig up some of the best wrestling shots to celebrate his birthday -- and you can undoubtedly see the impressive physique on the future Hall of Famer.

Cena is proving that age is just a number, as he's been aging like fine wine. His 17th World Title win at WrestleMania 41 pushed him in front of Ric Flair for the most in WWE history.

Cena said on Monday Night Raw that he has 27 more dates left in his WWE retirement tour, so while the sun is setting on his in-ring career, there are still eight more months for fans to enjoy King of Jorts to make some more history.

Pat McAfee gave new meaning to the Monday blues during Raw ... the WWE commentator got choked out live on the airwaves!

It all went down Monday night in Las Vegas -- capping off a big WrestleMania weekend -- as the show came back from commercial break ... and Gunther was having a passionate chat with McAfee and Michael Cole ringside, expressing his displeasure with their commentary.

Gunther then put his hands on Cole, prompting the former NFL punter to stand up for his broadcast partner ... which proved to be a stupid move for Pat, who found himself in a sleeper hold.

Mojo Muhtadi put the break in dancing over the weekend ... suffering a GNARLY shoulder injury while partying with Ryan Cabrera in Las Vegas!

The ex-WWE Superstar turned TMZ Sports TV show co-host was at Ghost Bar at the Palms Saturday night for Cabrera's performance ... when a dance battle busted out.

Never one to turn away from an opportunity to dance, Muhtadi *attempted* a diving shoulder roll ... that went very wrong.

Roman Reigns didn't get a win in his triple threat match at WrestleMania ... but he certainly didn't leave Vegas empty-handed -- thanks to his new luxury watch and diamond chains!!

TMZ Sports is told ... Eric the Jeweler from Mavani and Co. in New York flew out to Sin City to catch all the WWE action over the weekend -- and had the Tribal Chief's newest accessories in tow.

Roman and Eric linked up during the festivities ... and the latter handed over a 44mm Black Ceramic Openwork Audemars Piguet, which is rare and valued at around $450,000.

John Cena is admitting he got work done to fix his glaring bald spot ... and it was all thanks to WWE fans incessantly picking on him over it.

Fresh off his historic win over Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, the new 17-time champ discussed his recent hair transplant procedure during his time on the "Pat McAfee Show" on Monday ... saying he got it done in November -- and soon enough, he'll have flowing locks.

Of course, Cena's appearance drew a bunch of attention in recent months ... which sparked plenty of memes, chants and signs from wrestling fans regarding the lack of hair on the back of his head.

Rob Gronkowski's playing days are behind him, but his body certainly didn't get the memo ... 'cause the future Hall of Famer looked NFL ready while hosting his post-WrestleMania rager!!

The four-time Super Bowl champion held his famous Gronk Beach bash at LIV Beach at Fontainebleau Las Vegas after all the WWE festivities concluded over the weekend ... allowing fans in attendance to keep the night going after John Cena's historic win over Cody Rhodes.

At one point in the shindig, Gronk elected to drop top ... and even though there was a bunch of drinking involved, he was showing off a different kind of six pack.

Dominik Mysterio's WWE Intercontinental Championship celebration Sunday night hit a bit of a speed bump ... when a golf cart he was riding in ran over one of his fans.

The wild incident unfolded outside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ... shortly after the wrestler -- who's Rey's son -- won a four-way match for the WWE strap over Finn Balor, Bron Breakker and Penta at Night 2 of WrestleMania 41.

The 28-year-old was cruising around the Raiders' famed building with security -- showing off his new hardware to a cheering crowd -- when, suddenly, a throng of his supporters raced to his ride in an apparent effort to snag a pic.

John Cena just became the first 17-time champion in WWE history after beating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 ... but he didn't do it alone -- he got a bit of an assist from Travis Scott in the process.

The main event just went down at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ... with Cena and Rhodes brutalizing each other as the former looked to surpass Ric Flair as the most decorated wrestler in the organization.

Mid-match, La Flame showed up and made a lengthy walk to the ring to help his buddy, Cena ... and played a crucial role by going after the ref when Rhodes tried to secure the win.

WrestleMania 41 is getting off the ground this weekend with WWE's toughest and most animated wrestlers ... and TMZ is hypin' y'all up with a daring face-off game of who'd you rather?!

Fierce fighters -- like Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena, Tiffany Stratton vs. Charlotte Flair and LA Knight vs. Jacob Fatu -- await your bets!
