'Fantastic Four' star Paul Walter Hauser is showing he's got what it takes to be a wrestling superstar ... slamming his opponent through a table with blood dripping down his face.

Hauser was wrestling in Ring of Honor's "Death Before Dishonor" Friday night in Philly, where he faced off against QT Marshall ... and the fight was absolutely epic.

Check out the video ... Hauser comes out hot, stepping out of the ring and nailing QT with a cannonball -- pulling off a mid-air somersault.

Dillon Danis, after nearly two years away, is returning to the cage ... and the polarizing fighter says he plans to stay active -- with the ultimate goal being a scrap with UFC star Islam Makhachev!

TMZ Sports talked to 32-year-old Danis ahead of his Misfits 22 MMA scrap vs. Warren Spencer on Saturday (the fight's streaming on DAZN) ... where Dillon walked us through his reasoning for fighting a fairly unknown opp.

"Since the Logan fight, we had a bunch of fights, and I was trying to go, trying to go. Eventually, I'm just like, 'Alright if I'm just gonna be sitting around, I'm gonna fight'. Me taking a fight like this, getting my record up, getting more experience, people see me fighting, it'll help me get those bigger fights."

If Travis Kelce somehow needs a job after his NFL days are over ... wrestling legend Jeff Jarrett tells TMZ Sports he'll happily welcome the tight end to the AEW.

The 58-year-old squared circle titan -- who's currently working as the AEW's Director of Business Development -- said to us this week he'll find a spot for Kelce in the org. if the Chiefs superstar wants it.

Jarrett made it clear it wouldn't just be some kind of publicity grab, noting he truly thinks Kelce has what it takes to entertain the wrestling masses.

Drew Pearson knows losing Micah Parsons is going to hurt his beloved Cowboys ... but he's heaping praise on Jerry Jones for having the stomach to get the big "distraction" off his squad.

The legendary wideout sat down with TMZ Sports less than 24 hours after Dallas punted Parsons to Green Bay ... and unlike most of Cowboys Nation, he opted to take a more positive look at the blockbuster Thursday trade.

He told us he's sure his 'Boys will be able to better focus on the season opener with the Philadelphia Eagles now that Parsons and his public contract negotiations are out of the picture.

Hulk Hogan's Real American Freestyle organization is set to make its highly anticipated debut Saturday night ... and while people speculated the project could be scrapped following the WWE legend's death last month -- Eric Bischoff tells TMZ Sports the thought "never entered my mind."

We spoke with Bischoff ahead of the brand's first show on FOX Nation ... and he told us leaving the Hulkster's new endeavor on the cutting room floor simply wasn't an option -- and they were going to move forward with full force.

"Hulk Hogan would come down here and kick your ass if you throw in the towel," he said. "It's simple as that. No, it never crossed our minds."

Hulk Hogan's son, Nick, made a heartfelt speech ahead of the wrestling legend's Real American Freestyle league's debut event ... saying his father put everything he had into the organization -- and he will make sure his vision is seen through.

RAF -- which launches Saturday night in Cleveland -- was one of the Hulkster's newest endeavors prior to his death last month ... and in a press conference leading up to the action, Nick said Terry Bollea truly loved the product they built.

"My father was so excited about this business and about this sport, and he believed in all of these athletes and the future that this league has," Nick said Friday.

A young tennis fan was left devastated after some dude yanked Polish tennis player Kamil Majchrzak's hat from his reach ... but thanks to the internet, this story has a happy ending!!

It all went down as Majchrzak was signing autographs after his second-round win against Karen Khachanov at the US Open on Thursday. As he went to hand his cap to a kid in the front row, an older man took it instead ... and you can see the sadness take over his face.

The kid tried to get his attention, but to no avail. At least the guy had the courtesy to hand his Sharpie back ... but he ended up putting the lid in a woman's bag.

10:16 AM PT -- The venue slated to host the upcoming Danger Pro Wrestling event tells TMZ Sports Raja Jackson is not welcome.

Additionally, the event space tells us to its knowledge, Jackson was never part of the card ... and the org. merely used Thursday's post as a way to drum up interest.

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's son has somehow found more work in the wrestling world ... this despite the over-the-line beatdown he laid on Syko Stu last weekend.

Arch Manning's making a name for himself in the world of football ... where he's following in the footsteps of his uncles Peyton and Eli.

The University of Texas, Austin quarterback's relatives had their own time on the gridiron, and they each racked up impressive achievements -- like leading their respective teams to the Super Bowl multiple times.

We're going to check out how the athlete's uncles' careers in football played out and see what they've had to say about their nephew's skills on the field.

Peyton became a household name during his career as a quarterback in the NFL, which lasted for 18 seasons.

The retired athlete spent the first 14 seasons of his career with the Indianapolis Colts, starting in 1998, leading the team to a Super Bowl victory in 2007.

Peyton remained with the Colts until 2012, when started playing for the Denver Broncos.

Peyton took the Broncos to Super Bowl 50 in 2016 -- which they won -- and he decided to go out on top, retiring shortly after the victory.

Peyton's brother Eli, on the other hand, stayed with a single team -- the New York Giants -- for the length of his NFL career.

The quarterback led the Giants to Super Bowl XLII in 2008, where they pulled off a major upset against the New England Patriots.

Eli took the Giants to the Super Bowl for the second time in 2012, defeating the Patriots again to win it all.

Eli remained with the team for another seven seasons, announcing his retirement from professional football in January 2020.

Peyton and Eli stayed in the game, however, co-hosting "ManningCast," an ESPN2 program where they watch live football games and mess with each other at the same time.

Oh, and the former quarterbacks have been pretty open about their support for their nephew's path in college football over the past few years, too.

Peyton spoke to Sporting News in June 2025 and said he was "proud" of Arch for making a "commitment" to sticking with the University of Texas and improving his game with the Longhorns.

Fans of Frankie Muniz will have to wait to see him get behind the No. 33 truck again ... as the actor-turned-NASCAR driver busted his wrist in a freak accident -- putting him on the sideline "for the next few weeks."

Muniz shared the news on his social media Thursday, saying he fell off the top of a ladder while changing the batteries in his backyard Ring camera ... forcing him out of competition for the foreseeable future.

"While I'm gutted to miss the races, I'm grateful it wasn't worse," Muniz wrote. "I feel for my team, who've poured their hearts into this season, and I'm thankful for @FordPerformance and their unwavering support."

Deion Sanders' son, Shilo, isn't sweating getting waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ... 'cause he says in all honesty, he'll be totally fine with or without an NFL career.

The 25-year-old undrafted rookie opened up on his football future in a brief YouTube video on Thursday ... thanking the Bucs for giving him the opportunity and making it clear he's not giving up on his pro career just yet.

But if a team doesn't hit his line, Shilo said he's not gonna be heartbroken ... as his Hall of Famer pops and mom, Pilar, did a great job making sure football wouldn't end up being his only option.

Michael Irvin is livid with his former team and his ex-boss, Jerry Jones ... making it clear on Thursday he loathed the Dallas Cowboys' decision to trade Micah Parsons.

The Hall of Fame wideout took to his YouTube page just a couple hours after Big D jettisoned its top player to Green Bay ... and he said he was in a state of shock over the decision.

He called it a "crazy, dumb move," before adding it was something Jones should have never done.

8:56 AM PT -- Police documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, say multiple witnesses saw Ryan Crow get physical with a woman after the two had gotten "into a verbal argument about past relationships."

One witness, the docs state, said Crow had his arms around the woman "as if he was going to perform a takedown." The witness added Crow "was whispering things into her ear" and the woman "looked terrified."

A second witness stated Crow also threw "slaps" and tried to "grapple" with the woman during the dispute.

The docs state Crow "removed himself from the situation and began to head up to his apartment" after he "noticed people were watching."

Miami Dolphins assistant coach Ryan Crow was arrested on Friday morning, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may have forever on the horizon, but hold the housewarming ... the power couple still isn't officially living together under one roof ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... while Taylor and Travis each have their own digs, there's no current joint love nest on paper ... at least not yet.

Taylor's got homes in NYC, Rhode Island, Beverly Hills and Nashville, while Travis holds it down in Kansas City. So when they're with each other, sure, it’s one roof ... but still no keys with both their names on 'em.

We're told the constant jet-setting for the power couple makes a 24/7 shared roof pretty unrealistic for all 365 days of the year ... and yeah, someday they'll snag a place together ... but for now, that's not topping the priority list.

Of course, the newly engaged couple's priority list is already stacked -- from wedding planning to possible bachelor and bachelorette bashes -- and let's not forget, this all comes just days after their engagement.

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.

Indiana Fever hooper Lexie Hull gave her fans a look at the carnage after a scary mid-game collision on Tuesday ... and well, it left her with two black eyes!

The WNBA guard revealed the gnarly black-and-blue injuries on Thursday after a fan on TikTok asked how she was doing following the on-court incident with Gabby Williams during the Fever and Storm game.

"It's not doing great," Hull said on video while exposing the black eyes. "I wish this was a filter, but this is insane."
