Wrestling legend Sabu has died, just three weeks after fighting in his retirement rumble ... according to All Elite Wrestling.

The major wresting organization posted about the star's passing ... sharing appreciation for his "unforgettable high-risk moments" and saying he gave everything he had to the wrestling world.

AEW sends its sympathies to his family and friends. The organization did not provide a cause of death.

Antonio Brown has targeted Tom Brady countless times on his popular social media accounts, but it might just be a master class in engagement farming -- 'cause he tells TMZ Sports in the real world, he actually loves his former quarterback.

The former NFL superstar is arguably more popular in retirement thanks to his viral X posts ... and while some folks have speculated the content isn't coming from AB himself, there have been several shots directed at TB12 regardless of who actually hit the publish button.

AB's account posted several memes trolling Brady amid his divorce from Gisele Bündchen ... and he even shared a photoshopped nude pic of the model at one point.

If you found yourself daydreaming of a Jermall Charlo vs. Jake Paul fight, it might be time to think of another reality ... 'cause The Hitman tells TMZ Sports even though he's down for the bout -- he's pretty sure Paul wouldn't want the smoke.

We caught up with Charlo this week ahead of his May 31 fight against Thomas LaManna ... and he told us his body feels good as he's looking to keep his undefeated record intact.

He also talked about a potential throwdown with Paul -- and while he said he was "for sure" into it ... he admitted there are some big roadblocks.

The sky is falling in L.A. following the Lakers' disappointing playoff run ... but Vlade Divac ain't exactly reaching for his umbrella just yet -- as he expressed optimism about his former team to TMZ Sports this week.

The ex-Lakers big man chopped it up with us following a dinner at Craig's -- and while he described Los Angeles' opening-round loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves as "not good," he's still excited for the future.

He told us he "definitely" sees Lebron James returning for 2025-26 ... and added he saw no drop-off in the 40-year-old's game this year.

Jordon Hudson's not letting the recent haters get her down ... cracking a huge smile at the Miss Maine pageant -- and, giving fans a glimpse of her long legs.

The New York Post obtained photos of Bill Belichick's better half ... capturing her in a baby blue dress at the event in Portland, Maine.

The dress ended high on her thighs ... leaving little to the imagination, and she flashed a small smile and wave for the camera.

The Celtics and Knicks series is shaping up to be an exciting one -- and, it brought out some of the biggest stars in the world to Madison Square Garden.

Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals took place Saturday in New York City ... and, Timothée Chalamet made his presence felt at the arena -- appearing at the game just days after making his red carpet debut with Kylie Jenner in Rome.

Chalamet sat courtside ... blue knicks jacket on -- eyes glued to the action. No Kylie this time, though she has attended basketball games with him in the past.

They crawled so their famous parents could run ... now they’re stealing the show.

It all started with Suri Cruise -- Tom and Katie’s mini-me who lived in the flashbulbs and now, at 18, is loving life out of the spotlight. And for all the other famous kiddos? Well, Levi McConaughey, born in 2008, is turning heads as dad Matthew’s twin. Kingston Rossdale -- Gwen and Gavin’s firstborn -- is 18 and cooler than any of us ever were.

The Beckham bunch? Icons in their own right: Cruz is chasing dad’s soccer dreams, Brooklyn’s all married and adulting, and Harper’s still daddy’s girl. And leading the nepo baby pack RN? Kaia Gerber -- Cindy Crawford’s double, walking the runway like she owns it.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr is walking away from the NFL at 34 years old, he announced Saturday morning ... with reports saying the retirement is due to a serious shoulder injury.

The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback -- who spent the majority of his career with the Oakland and Las Vegas Raiders -- addressed the decision in a statement ... saying after praying and talking things over with his wife, Heather, he came to the conclusion that his playing days are over.

"For more than 11 years, we have been incredibly blessed, and we are forever grateful and humbled by this experience," the 2014 second-round pick said in a statement released by the Saints.

Jordon Hudson's start to the Miss Maine USA pageant kicking off Saturday night isn't looking too hot -- she's losing in the People's Choice Award category by hundreds of votes.

Here's the deal -- online voters can pay $1 per vote to pick their favorite pageant queen, and the winner is promised a coveted spot in the Semifinals.

Jordon -- who is representing her hometown of Hancock -- has just over 200 votes to her name, which is hundreds of votes behind the current leader, Greenville's Lexi Bjork with nearly 1,400 votes.

10:46 AM PT -- Meghan Markle just gave fans an inside look at her fun night at Beyoncé’s "Cowboy Carter" tour -- and there's some PDA with Prince Harry!

MM posted a carousel of pictures and videos from the concert, and the pair seemed to be in their own little world in one clip showing Harry giving her a loving kiss on the cheek.

One adorable snapshot shows the pair cracking up as they cozied together, while they grin from ear to ear in a selfie.

Elgton Jenkins -- the Green Bay Packers star who signed a $68 million deal in 2022 -- was involved in a tense dispute at a strip club last week that required a police presence to mitigate.

TMZ Sports has learned ... the NFL offensive lineman and some of his friends hit up King of Diamonds in Atlanta at around 11:30 PM on May 1 -- and a short time after they arrived, they began quarrelling with some of the establishment's workers.

Jenkins and his crew had paid to get into the spot -- but when it wasn't as lively as they had been told it was, they asked for a refund.

Fight night should be a breeze for Belal Muhammad ... 'cause the UFC welterweight champ says he regularly works out with dudes most dangerous than Jack Della Maddalena, his UFC 315 opp!

TMZ Sports spoke with the 36-year-old fighter ahead of Saturday's main event scrap ... and like a slugger on deck taking hacks with a donut on his bat, Belal says the actual fight will be easier than his time on the practice mats.

"When I look at the guys that I train with, I tell you, I'm training with the best striker in the world in Ignacio Bahamondes. And I strike with this guy every single day. Jack doesn't have striking that comes close to him. The grapplers that I train with, the guys that I'm sparring with every single day, they're better than Jack," Muhammad said.

The Catholic Church has a new Pope, and not only is Leo XIV the first American to occupy the position, he's also a Villanova alum ... and one former star hooper is hoping the Holy Father can find some time to return to campus for a basketball game!

TMZ Sports spoke with NCAA Tourney hero Kris Jenkins shortly after conclave ended ... and we asked him about the Pope's Nova roots.

"These East Lancaster bullies have been creeping out a lot these past couple days," Kris said. "They've been showing sightings in Boston, Massachusetts. Now we're making our way to the head of the Catholic Church."

Druski's not only fighting back against the woman accusing him of rape -- he also wants her attorneys held accountable for not vetting claims he says are provably false ... and he's going to court with receipts.

The comedian and actor filed docs Friday in federal court, calling out Ashley Parham's legal team, citing several documents that clearly refute her allegation he raped her in Northern California on March 23, 2018 ... along with Diddy, Odell Beckham Jr. and others.

However, in the docs, Druski says Parham filed a police report accusing a guy named Shane Pearce and an anonymous white man of raping her on March 23, 2018. The report apparently makes no mention of any other alleged attackers, and Druski says the document was "easily obtainable from the public record."

Tar Heels fans lighting the torches and sharpening the pitch forks betters stand down ... Antonio Gates tells TMZ Sports no matter what happens at UNC this season, Jordon Hudson should not be labeled a villain.

Of course, there appear to be many in Carolina blue who are already angling to make Bill Belichick's 24-year-old girlfriend a scapegoat following a recent rash of negative headlines about her ... but when we got Gates out at LAX on Friday, he told us the haters should back off.

While he didn't necessarily love that Carolina's new head coach is intermingling so much of his personal life with his professional one -- he made it clear, Jordon will have zero impact on UNC's win-loss record in 2025.

It's safe to say John Cena didn't give any of his "Peacemaker" costars a heads up about his hair transplant ... 'cause TMZ broke the news to Frank Grillo this week -- and he couldn't have been more floored by the reveal.

We chopped it up with Rick Flag Sr. out at LAX ... and while we chatted a bit about the new season of the hit Max show dropping later this year (skip the first 30 seconds of the clip if you haven't watched S1 yet), the topic of the WWE Superstar's recent life-changing decision made Grillo stop in his tracks.

In fact, the "Purge" franchise star didn't fully believe our camera guy was spitting facts ... so he said he was gonna reserve comment until he knew for sure we weren't pulling a month-delayed April Fool's prank on him.
