The road to WrestleMania got a whole lot more personal between CM Punk and Roman Reigns ... 'cause during a promo battle to close out "Monday Night RAW," the World Heavyweight Champion invoked Reigns' dead father in a wild moment.

It all went down in Indianapolis, fresh off the "Elimination Chamber" -- which saw Punk and Reigns face-to-face for only the second time since Roman chose to challenge him at The Grandest Stage of Them All.

After some pretty intense moments in their exchange, Punk went for the jugular with his last words, saying, "You went from getting beat at WrestleMania, now I'm gonna bury you."

"And then you won't be all alone anymore cause I'm going to bury you next to your father!"

Tom Brady might think pro wrestling is “very cute” … but WWE Superstar Kiana James says if the NFL legend wants to truly find out how tough it is, there’s an easy solution -- step into the ring!

The WWE Superstar joined TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast this week … where she was asked about Brady’s viral comment, aimed at Logan Paul.

“I don’t want to fault anyone for their ignorance,” James told us. “When you’re unfamiliar with something, there’s a level of ignorance there.”

Offset didn't just hit up "Monday Night Raw" in Atlanta to catch some WWE action ... he was IN on the action -- 'cause the Grammy-nominated rapper found himself in the middle of a match!!

The Georgia native ended up backstage at State Farm Arena alongside rising star Je'von Evans, who was challenged to a showdown by former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Kofi Kingston.

Offset and Evans made their way ringside, where he eventually found himself face-to-face with Kingston's counterparts ... Grayson Waller and Xavier Woods. Offset then threw Waller over the table, distracting Kingston long enough to help Evans pick up the win.

WrestleMania is now only just over 60 days away, and while Cody Rhodes isn't paid to be the matchmaker in WWE ... he tells TMZ Sports there's one he would love to see in Sin City come April -- Logan Paul vs. Bad Bunny!!

We caught up with the former Undisputed WWE Champion in New York City, where we asked him whether he hopes BB finds his way back to the WWE in time for WrestleMania 42.

"I hope we get him back," Rhodes said. "He did a wonderful job, but he's on top of the world right now."

James Van Der Beek's friend Stacy Keibler gave his fans an insight into the star's final days ... posting a photo of him watching the sunset from his wheelchair.

Keibler -- a former pro wrestler and actress -- shared the photo Wednesday afternoon ... hours after news of James' death broke, and she wrote it was "a true gift" to spend the star's final days with him.

Stacy writes she learned a lot from James in his final days ... including what it looks like to continue to believe in God's plan, even when the plan is heartbreaking.

Logan Paul caused a scene at the Super Bowl just by existing ... with a bunch of fans rushing up to him as he left the game -- to the point where his bodyguard had to intervene.

TMZ Sports shot the Maverick and his wife, Nina Agdal, exiting Levi's Stadium on Sunday ... and the footage shows a group following closely behind.

In the clip, it looks like Paul is asking the crowd to take it easy ... but the fans were trying their best to capture selfies with the WWE Superstar.

WWE Superstar Cam Skattebo?!? The New York Giants rookie running back tells TMZ Sports that's entirely possible after his days making money on the gridiron are over.

We caught up with Skatt at the Sports Illustrated Invitational in San Francisco earlier this week, where we asked him if he sees a career inside the squared circle once he hangs the cleats up.

"There's a chance," Skattebo said. "I feel like I'm a pretty good actor, so there's a chance there."

Good news for all the single men out there -- you still might have a chance to take Nikki Bella out on a date, as the WWE Hall of Famer tells TMZ Sports despite all the buzz with Cooper DeJean ... she's very much on the market!

We caught up with the 41-year-old out in NYC following her promo on "Monday Night RAW," where the fans in Philadelphia yelled "Coop" toward her while she was standing in the ring -- leading to her response, "Can you blame a girl for having good taste?"

Plenty online took that as a surefire sign that the two were an official item, but Bella is putting those rumors to bed.

Nikki Bella isn't shying away from her "casual" dating life ... 'cause the WWE Superstar directly referenced Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean right inside the ring on "Raw."

It all went down at Xfinity Mobile Arena in the City of Brotherly Love ... which is right across the street from where DeJean and the Eagles play. Nikki and her sister, Brie -- who made a surprise return during the Royal Rumble -- hopped on the mic to cut a promo for the crowd.

At first, the oldest Bella twin thought the fans were booing them.

The Rock's daughter, Ava, can say whatever she wants now that she's left WWE ... and her first free words were quite liberal indeed ... and directed straight at Donald Trump.

Simone Alexandra Garcia Johnson tweeted, "and now that i can say this with my full chest, [middle finger emoji] ice and that entire administration."

This comes after Ava announced Friday she would not be renewing her contract with WWE, which just expired.

Brie Bella is following in her sister Nikki's footsteps ... 'cause a year after her sister made a surprise return at WWE's 2025 Royal Rumble event, the 42-year-old just made her long-awaited return after four years away!

The crowd in Saudi Arabia went nuts when Brie entered the women's Royal Rumble match at #29.

Bella made her way to the ring rocking a Bella Twins red body suit, matching her sister Nikki who entered four spots earlier ... and despite being out of the ring for the last few years, she hasn't missed a beat!

The Rock's daughter, Ava, just announced she's not renewing her contract with WWE ... calling it a difficult decision, but she's ready to move on from the organization that turned her pops into a household name.

Simone Alexandra Garcia Johnson revealed her plans in a statement shared on Instagram Friday ... just days after her appearance on NXT.

"This past Tuesday was my last appearance on NXT & subsequently WWE," Johnson said. "Thank you to all who have cheered, watched, and supported me through my journey."
