Michael Irvin tells TMZ Sports he will NOT stay quiet as cops continue to investigate the sexual assault allegation against him ... and says he will personally make a statement about the case TODAY.

We broke the story ... a 27-year-old woman accused Irvin of sexually assaulting her at a hotel in Florida on March 21. He adamantly denies any wrongdoing.

The Cowboys legend has been silent about the situation -- but as he was leaving an autograph event at the Dulles Expo Center on Sunday, he vowed to tell his side of the story.

John Cena busted out a ring IN THE RING ... popping the question to fellow WWE superstar Nikki Bella -- and like her brother-in-law, Daniel Bryan, she said, "YES! YES! YES!"

Cena whipped out the massive Tiffany's diamond after he and Nikki beat up The Miz and Maryse in a co-ed tag team match at WrestleMania 33.

Here's the thing ... Cena didn't use her "ring name" -- he proposed with her real name, "Stephanie Nicole Garcia-Colace" -- leading most people to think the proposal was real and not a scripted bit.

John and Nikki have been dating in real life since 2012.

After the event, Cena tweeted about the proposal.

The Undertaker apparently put the final nail in his pro wrestling coffin Sunday night ... leaving his gear in the ring after his match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.

The 52-year-old WWE legend had just lost in the main event when he removed his signature hat, gloves and coat ... and then waved at the fans.

The move is a traditional way of signifying retirement among wrestlers ... and while there has been no official retirement announcement, the message seems pretty clear.

R.I.P.

Look out, Sex Panther ... Floyd Mayweather is now looking to conquer the smell game.

Now that Shaq has a statue in front of STAPLES Center ... it's only a matter of time before Kobe Bryant gets his. But there's one BIG question -- what number will Mamba's statue wear?!

Kobe's old teammate, Derek Fisher, has an easy solution ... DOUBLE 'EM UP! One statue for #8 and another for #24.

By the way, a similar issue has been raised when it comes to which jersey the Lakers will retire. Bryant told ESPN, "[Whichever number they choose] it'll be pretty hard for someone else to wear the other one."

Rob Gronkowski is apparently a wrestler now during the off-season ... he just kicked some ass in the ring at WrestleMania 33.

The Pats star was in the crowd Sunday watching his pal Mojo Rawley get pummeled by Jinder Mahal during the 4th annual Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal ... and then decided to step in when Jinder got in his own face.

What happens next is nothing short of epic, and is sure to go down in WWE (and probably NFL) history.

GRONK WITH THE TAKEDOWN!!!

Jennifer Lopez is making a big relationship move with A-Rod ... introducing him to mom.

The new couple went out Sunday in NYC hand-in-hand -- with J Lo's mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez (yes, really), tagging along for the sight-seeing.

A-Rod seemed to leave a good impression on mama bear -- we know she's gotta like his last name -- and don't forget ... Jen already hit it off with Alex's sis.

It's pretty obvious now -- he has J Lo's love.

Aaron Rodgers was ride or die for the West Coast, and especially Tupac, Saturday night in Phoenix. Sorry, Green Bay.

Rodgers was at a Final Four party where The Chainsmokers were headlining, but between sets the DJ decided to shout out the Packers QB with a "discount double-check" reference. Then watch what happened when he cued up Pac's "Hit 'Em Up."

Aaron was all in ... rapping along and throwin' up Ws!

Maybe Tom Brady's $500,000 valuation for his stolen Super Bowl 51 jersey ain't so far off after all -- because "Shark Tank" star Robert Herjavec says he's down to pony up that kinda dough.

WWE star Baron Corbin would send Conor McGregor's ass to the hospital if the beefing stars actually fought ... according to WWE legend Taz.

We all know Devon Still's daughter, Leah, is a fighter ... but the 6'5" defensive end ain't no slouch either -- and tells TMZ Sports he's battling like crazy to get back in the NFL.

Still's currently a free agent after spending most of his 2016 season with the Houston Texans on injured reserve following a foot injury in Week 4.

But the 27-year-old says he's been training and rehabbing like a maniac -- and he's laser-focused on getting back on an NFL roster in 2017.

Stephanie McMahon has raw beauty.

Here’s a 27-year-old version of the young WWE personality back in 2003 (left) and 14 years later ... the WWE’s Chief Brand Officer and Commissioner of Raw at SXSW in Texas two weeks ago (right).

What a knockout!

The question is...

Mets superstar Matt Harvey was on the verge of a perfect game Friday night -- no other way to describe a night out with your smokeshow gf, Adriana Lima, and her also hot girlfriend!

Matt and the Victoria's Secret hottie looked like they were painting the town ... doing dinner and the club scene in NYC. The pitcher turned 28 earlier in the week, but just got back from Spring Training -- so this could have been his bday celebration.

If it was it looks like Adriana brought the perfect gift. C'mon ... reality or not, Matt's smile kinda says what he was thinking.

In any event, looks like the start (or ending) of a great night for baseball's Dark Knight.

Draya Michele says don't lump her in with other Hollywood moms like Blac Chyna -- because she won't be putting her baby to work anytime soon.

The ex "Basketball Wives" star was in Bev Hills Friday afternoon, and talked to us about BC's decision to get work permits for her 4-year-old and 4-month-old kids. Draya quickly gave Chyna props ... so you'd think she's all about rushing showbiz tots into the spotlight.

But check out how the tone changed when we asked about her almost 1-year-old son, Jru, with Cowboys star Orlando Scandrick. Her response is either a little shady at Chyna, Rob Kardashian and Tyga ... or it's just real.
