The next big WWE Superstar is here -- Cody and Brandi Rhodes have welcomed another baby girl to their family!!!

Brandi shared the news on social media ... showing off the little one's hand.

"Welcome to the world Leilani Ella Runnels," she wrote. "We are in love. Thank you God for answered prayers. Cody + Brandi + Libby + Lani =♥️"

Hulk Hogan's widow, Sky Daily, is "planning" to file a lawsuit against at least one of the WWE legend's doctors and others for medical malpractice she says led to his death, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ Sports.

The suit, we're told, would center around the neck operation Hulk underwent back in May.

Sky first told us ... she believes Hogan's phrenic nerve -- which controls your breathing -- was "compromised" during that procedure.

Professional wrestler Stuart "Syko Stu" Smith became the subject of intense attention in August 2025 when a video of his beatdown at the hands of Raja Jackson went viral on social media.

The wrestling figure's appearance at an event for KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy in Los Angeles turned into a nightmare when Raja, a pro MMA fighter, pummeled the Army veteran into apparent unconsciousness in front of the crowd.

We're going to take a look at how the competitor entered the world of professional wrestling and how he started a period of recovery after the violent incident.

Smith served in the U.S. Army, and he began wrestling in 2009, starting his career just six months after leaving the service.

The wrestler spoke about his decision to turn to the sport in a promotional video for Knokx Pro, expressing he "needed something to focus on" when he returned to civilian life.

Smith also described himself as having dealt with post-traumatic stress disorder, and he said wrestling helped him "adjust" to life outside the armed forces.

He said being in front of a crowd didn't give him "as much anxiety and aggression" as he had expected.

Smith and Jackson's first interaction at the event took place prior to the official start of the wrestling match ... the wrestler was seen smashing a beer can into Raja's head on a live stream, although they appeared to mend their differences shortly afterward.

The MMA fighter entered the ring in the middle of Smith's subsequent match, picked up the wrestler, and body-slammed him on the mat, after which he punched Smith multiple times in the head.

Several other wrestlers entered the ring to pull Jackson off Stu, who appeared unconscious during and after the beatdown.

Wrestling reporter Sean Ross later claimed the pair had planned out Jackson's entry into the ring ... although the MMA fighter apparently went way over the line with his punches.

Smith was taken to a hospital after the violent incident, and Ross reported Smith suffered "serious injuries" during the beatdown.

Wrestler Douglas Malo -- one of the individuals who pulled Jackson off Smith -- told USA Today the competitor had several broken bones in his face, as well as missing teeth.

The wrestler's brother Andrew posted on Facebook two days after the event that Stu was "conscious and able to talk" ... although he was facing a lengthy recovery.

Kelly Osbourne is jumping to the defense of her late father and his hometown ... after WWE star Becky Lynch cracked a crass joke about him on "Monday Night RAW."

Ozzy's daughter went off on IG in response to Becky's head-turning remarks ... calling her a "disrespectful dirtbag."

She continued unloading with ... "Birmingham would not piss on you if you were on fire."

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson says he's been the target of death threats after his son was involved in a violent incident with a pro wrestler over the weekend ... and he's making it clear, he wants the messages to stop.

The UFC legend briefly addressed Raja Jackson's altercation with Syko Stu while he was leaving LAX on Monday night ... and he stated the inboxes on his social media pages have been a cesspool since late Saturday.

"There's a lot of racist people giving me death threats and stuff like that," Rampage told Joy Of Everything.

Eyebrow-raising take from Mark Henry ... the WWE legend tells TMZ Sports Syko Stu deserves at least a portion of the blame for that ugly incident that went down with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's son over the weekend.

Henry says the veteran wrestler -- real name Stuart Smith -- should not have rattled Raja Jackson's cage by hitting him with a beer can just before the KnokX Pro event got underway on Saturday in Los Angeles.

Henry explained as a more experienced entertainer, Syko Stu should have been more mindful when interacting in that kind of fashion with someone who's so obviously new to the wrestling world.

Becky Lynch just made a whole lot of enemies out in Birmingham, England ... after she cracked a crass Ozzy Osbourne death reference right in the middle of a promo during "Monday Night RAW."

WWE popped into the UK city as its European tour rolls on, and at one point during the org.'s flagship show, Lynch and Nikki Bella got into a heated confrontation while previewing their Intercontinental Championship match this Sunday.

Birmingham fans weren't happy to hear the title tilt wasn't going down in their own city ... which led to Becky controversially invoking Ozzy's name.

Jeff and Matt Hardy are teasing their legendary runs in the squared circle might finally be nearing their end -- and it all hinges on their showdown with the Dudley Boyz at TNA's "Bound for Glory."

The Hardy brothers told TMZ's Inside The Ring the upcoming Oct. 12 clash with Team 3D won't just be another match -- it could be the final chapter in one of wrestling's greatest rivalries. Matt admitted flat-out ... "If we lose to the Dudleys, it might be time to ride off into the sunset."

That "sunset" might not be the end of their story, though. The Hardys acknowledged retirement would open the door to something only a handful of wrestlers have ever pulled off -- induction into both the WWE Hall of Fame and the TNA Hall of Fame. For a duo that defined eras in both companies, the honor feels almost inevitable.

Before these two blonde brothers from Ohio turned into famous fellas, they were just rockin' identical 'fits, packin' a mean snowball for all the snowball FIGHTS ... and playing sports like lacrosse and wrestling ...

Have you ever heard of "YouTube?" Well, if you have ... then you'd know these two. They started their YouTube channel back in the 2010s; however, the social media platform Vine, catapulted them into massive popularity. While one bro is engaged, the other is a newlywed!

Need one more clue? One bro fought wrestling legend Mike Tyson.

Trish Stratus is mourning the loss of her mother, Alice Stratigeas ... with the WWE Hall of Famer announcing she passed away last week after a battle with cancer.

Stratus shared the tragic news with her fans in an Instagram post on Wednesday ... saying she hasn't been able to find the words until now -- and that writing it "makes it more real."

"She fought through so many battles in her life with a strength that amazed me, and even in her hardest days, she was still thinking of everyone else first," Stratus wrote. "That was my mama - selfless, brave, and full of love."

Congratulations are in order for WWE Superstars Naomi and Jimmy Uso -- the couple announced they are expecting their first child together!!

The two shared the news with Stephanie McMahon on her "What's Your Story" podcast ... and Naomi further addressed it during "Monday Night Raw."

As you would expect, the crowd was thrilled with the news ... even chanting "Baby Uso" at one point. Unfortunately for Naomi -- real name Trinity Fatu -- it means she will have to relinquish her Women's Championship ...  as it would be hard to defend with a bun in the oven.

4:58 PM PT -- Linda Hogan reached out to TMZ to clarify her earlier comments ... she now tells us her ex-husband Hulk Hogan wouldn't have been a supporter of California Gov. Gavin Newsom ... 'cause the fam never went along with liberal policies. As far as she's concerned ... no one likes Gavin! So, the meme was lame -- and only worked to confuse some fans.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is trying to beat Trump at his own game as far as ridiculous A.I. memes go ... but his latest post featuring Hulk Hogan was just too painfully stupid, the WWE legend's ex-wife tells TMZ.

Here's the deal ... on Sunday morning, Newsom threw X into chaos with an A.I.-generated image featuring Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson, and Hulk -- sprouting angel wings and a halo -- blessing him under the caption "so nice." Obviously, the meme was meant to rile up Trump and his supporters, since they've shared similar memes in the past in sincere support of the president.

Linda Hogan tells TMZ … For anyone confused about the troll game Newsom is playing with his Trump-esque posts, Hulk couldn’t stand Newsom, and was as far from liberal as you can get.

Hulk Hogan fans will be introduced to never-before-seen footage of the late WWE legend at the massive New York City Slam Sports Bar he began creating before his sudden death earlier this month -- and so much more.

TMZ caught up with his business partner -- President & CEO of American Sports Bar Entertainment Rich Rosen -- who spilled all the deets on the upcoming bar ... and Hulkamania will certainly be running wild in this unique restaurant experience!

But back to the sentimental part -- Rich tells TMZ there will be exclusive video of Hulk walking through the spacious 9,000 square-foot entertainment and dining space, giving his thoughts on it and fondly remembering the rise of his career inside Madison Square Garden -- which is directly across the street and is where Hulk built his icon status.

Former WWE Superstar and two-time RAW Tag Team Champion Matt Riddle is raking in serious cash outside the ring -- thanks to a side hustle that's turning plenty of heads.

Riddle joined the latest episode of TMZ’s "Inside The Ring" podcast and revealed his OnlyFans account is doing "a lot" for his bank account, crediting much of the success to gay men who watch wrestling and find him "extremely attractive."

He says he keeps it pretty tame -- nothing "too crazy" -- usually just rocking a Speedo and doing workouts on camera ... but the results have been a huge financial win.

WWE royalty Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are no jesters when it comes to their fitness ... 'cause they put their bodies on display during their vacation in Greece -- and they look incredible!!

The promotion's current COO and former CEO were spotted getting in some family time on a boat around Mykonos this week ... with the married couple bringing their kids along for the fun!!

Not only did they soak in all the sights, they also absorbed as many rays as their bods could handle before jumping in the water as a group to cool off.

John Cena is reflecting on his momentous 20-year career in the WWE ... as he reveals his body is telling him it's time to move on.

Check out the clip -- the actor and professional wrestler appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Wednesday and told the late night host he needs to retire so younger hopefuls can get their chance to shine just as he did back in the day.

John -- who admitted his body is yelling at him to hang it up -- explained to Jimmy he isn't trying to dwell on the past during his farewell tour. Instead, he says he's keeping his "feet on the ground" and soaking it all up as he moves into the 11 final matches of his ongoing tour.
