WWE

How do you stay cool when the temp's over 100 degrees? Bikini beach day!!

That's what WWE superstar Lana did while the rest of the city was melting.

Lana was rollin' solo in Santa Monica -- no sign of her husband, Rusev ... but we're not complaining.

The model/reality star/singer -- real name CJ Perry -- is also an actress and appeared as one of the Bellas in "Pitch Perfect" and "Pitch Perfect 2."

WWE, reality TV ... IT DOESN'T MATTER -- The Miz says his future daughter will dominate any career she damn well pleases 'cause of her championship pedigree.

"Genetically, she's gonna be a star," The Miz told TMZ Sports ... pointing out that his WWE superstar wife, Maryse, is a physical specimen, too.

(Note: he's right)

But if his kid wants to break from the family biz, he's down with his daughter following in his "Real World" footsteps too.

"She can do whatever she wants, whatever she puts her mind to."

How did pro wrestling legend Triple H celebrate his return to the ring?

TWERK! TWERK!! TWERK!!!

The WWE exec strapped on his boots for an event in Santiago, Chile ... and let loose some serious dance moves after his match -- waggin' his hips and shakin' his booty like his life depended on it.

But don't forget -- HHH is a HEEL ... so after boogieing down, he laid out The New Day's Kofi Kingston with his signature pedigree.

Triple H's wife, Stephanie McMahon, clearly didn't think he had it in him -- but The Rock could smelllllllll what The Game was cookin'!!

Hulk Hogan's son, Nick, says he's got one tiny problem with Ric Flair's pro wrestling Mount Rushmore -- The Rock.

Naitch posted a hilarious photo of his 4 GOATs last weekend -- Rock, The Hulkster, Stone Cold Steve Austin and (of course) himself. WOOOO!

At first, Nick told TMZ Sports he woulda picked the exact same superstars ... but after thinking about it, he couldn't 100% commit to the People's Champ.

Sounded pretty crazy at first ... until you hear his other 2 picks (they were really good).

Do ya smelllllllllllll ... what Nick Hogan is cookin'??

Ronda Rousey still won't officially say she's headed to WWE ... but she sure made it seem like something's cookin' when we got her and hubby Travis Browne leaving LAX.

When our guy tried to get it outta her, Ronda came back with -- "If you were a real fan, would you really wanna know?"

Before adding that, "I enjoy it more that way, and I don't wanna ruin anything."

Interesting ... especially 'cause WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon recently confirmed Rousey's offer is still on the table ... and the UFC mega-star was in a promo with Ric Flair's daughter, Charlotte, just last month.

Hey, WWE -- want a bigger, scarier version of Ronda Rousey?

Look no further ... 'cause women's MMA giant Gabi Garcia says she's down to step inside the squared circle!

"I love the show, I love watching WWE, so why not?" Gabi told us at LAX.

Don't get it twisted -- the Brazilian says she's not even close to being done fighting ... but tells TMZ Sports pro wrestling is a definite possibility if Vince McMahon's interested.

He should be. Garcia's got the skill -- she's a 10-time jiu-jitsu world champ -- and she's FOR SURE got the size at 6' 2'', 200-plus pounds.

But for now, she's focused on finding her next opponent.

Girl, guy ... doesn't matter to Gabi.

He's got movies and TV shows and endorsements and everything else ... but John Cena says he'll NEVER move on from the WWE ... because it's "family."

Cena and his fiancee Nikki Bella were leaving Craig's in L.A. after Nikki performed on "Dancing with the Stars" ... when we asked about John's future.

Let's face it -- the guy has options. He's killing it in just about everything he does and his star's only rising.

But Cena says his heart will always be with WWE, no matter how big he gets.

Every UFC fighter has an origin story ... and for Demetrious Johnson, his fight career started by the elementary school flagpole -- in a throwdown over WWE wrestling.

Mighty Mouse joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs tonight on FS1) -- and was asked if he remembers the first time he was punched in the face.

DJ recalled it like it was yesterday -- and says he was forced to defend The Rock's honor when another kid said pro wrestling was fake.

What started ... was the beginning of a beautiful (and violent) career -- a 26-2 record, a 12-fight win streak and a huge match at UFC 216 in Vegas this weekend.

With reports that Bradley Cooper has been offered to play the role of Vince McMahon in an upcoming biopic, we asked John Cena the most important question about the movie ...

Is Bradley too cute to play Vince?

Some background ... there are a ton of unconfirmed reports that WWE Studios is moving forward with what's essentially being described as an origin movie about Vince. It's reportedly called "Pandemonium."

Some of the early criticism of the flick is that it's a SUPER sensationalized version of the real story of McMahon -- and with Cooper's name floating around, seems like the rumors could be true.

But Cena doesn't think so -- telling TMZ Sports the former Sexiest Man Alive has the right amount of cuteness to play the most powerful man in pro wrestling.

Can't argue with those dimples.

Ronda Rousey hasn't officially signed with WWE, but the offer to come into the ring “absolutely still stands” -- so says Stephanie McMahon.

“We'd love to have you in WWE,” Steph added on her way outta LAX.

Vince’s daughter is super high up in the family biz ... so she would know.

Fans thought it was a gimme that Rousey was coming over after she cut a promo with Ric Flair’s daughter, Charlotte ... but that was almost a month ago, and still nothing.

But Steph says not to lose hope ... even teasing a WrestleMania rematch! Remember -- Ronda woman-handled her and hubby Triple H at The Showcase of the Immortals a couple years back.

McMahon didn't wanna call out Rousey, though ... so our money's on Charlotte.

Alison Brie finally came face-to-face with the badasses who inspired her hit pro-wrestling show, "GLOW" ... and she was "SO starstruck!" Also sweaty.

It all went down at WWE No Mercy this past weekend ... when Alison and her co-stars hit up Staples Center to take in the #1 wrestling biz in person.

Before the show, Brie and co. met up with the real-life Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling backstage ... and you can tell the actresses had MAD respect for the OGs.

Alison: “I’m starstruck. I’m SO starstruck!"

Former GLOW superstar Eileen "MTV" O’Hara: "I'm so excited I'm sweating!"

Alison: "I'M SWEATING!"

MTV told us WWE planned the meetup -- flying her and the real GLOW girls into L.A. -- but kept it a surprise. She hopes they can all chill again.

As for Brie ... she's already training for Season 2 -- and we don't mean reading lines.

Just the other day, she put ex-WWE superstar Chavo Guerrero Jr. down for the 3-count.

Ex-WWE superstar Torrie Wilson is celebrating Hugh Hefner's life -- telling TMZ Sports she's incredibly grateful for everything Hef and Playboy did for her career.

Wilson famously graced the cover of Playboy twice -- once in 2003 and again in 2004 -- and says the magazine took her already booming career to the next level.

But her favorite Playboy memories? It's all about the mansion ... telling the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show she'll always remember the crazy parties at Hef's place.

"I'm so glad that I have those stories for the rest of my life."

Check out more of Torrie tonight on "TMZ Sports" on FS1.

Porn legend Ron Jeremy says there's NO WAY Ric Flair banged more than 10,000 chicks ... telling TMZ Sports, in his opinion, it just ain't possible.

Jeremy knows a little something about ... um, puttin' in work. He's been named #1 on AVN's 50 Top Porn Stars of All Time ... and when we talked to him, he said he ain't buyin' what the Nature Boy is sellin'.

"To overview, I think he's lying."

Jeremy explains why he thinks Naitch is fibbing, saying that number would require a full-time woo-hoo regimen that he doesn't think Flair is humanly capable of.

"It's very difficult to get numbers like that," Jeremy says. "Every second of the day, he'd have to be going like this (as Ron does his world-famous humpin' motion).

Ric Flair is half the man Wilt Chamberlain claimed to be -- admitting he's slept with roughly 10,000 women during his storied wrestling career.

Nature Boy reportedly confessed about his 5-figure conquest while shooting a "30 for 30" special for ESPN -- a special that's set to air in November.

But apparently Naitch, who's famously referred to his penis as "Space Mountain" for years while asking women if they want a ride ... is now embarrassed about his sex life.

"I wish I hadn't said that because of my grandkids," Flair told People ... insisting, "I only love one now" -- a reference to his fiancee, Wendy Barlow.

FYI, Flair is 68 years old -- so if he started banging at 15 ... we're talking an average of 188 women per year (or 3.6 women per week).

Chamberlain claimed to have slept with 20,000 women.

Is Ronda Rousey about to rumble with Ric Flair's daughter?

It's not official quite yet ... but Charlotte Flair just got in the latest shots as they hype up a potential WWE mega-match.

"She knows where to find me," Charlotte told TMZ Sports at LAX ... before hinting that she'd wreck the ex-UFC champ in the ring.

Remember -- Ronda, Charlotte and their gal pals were in a WWE promo a few weeks ago ... sparking rumors of a Flair vs. Rousey super-fight.

We asked Charlotte if the match was already set ... and it kinda seemed like she was holdin' out on us.

Either way, Flair says she's got a ton of respect for Ronda ... cause her ass-kickin' blazed a trail for female superstars in the UFC and WWE.

Fun fact: The Nature Boy's a HUGE Rousey fan too -- WOOOO!!

Ric Flair's daughter, Charlotte Flair, tells TMZ Sports she knew her father would "kick out" after a medical emergency left him in a coma ... and says he's doing MUCH better now.

Charlotte says her father has finally been cleared to go home after living in a treatment center since he was released from the hospital -- "We're all happy."

The Nature Boy himself has been opening up about the situation to the media -- essentially saying the medical emergency culminated from years of hardcore drinking.

Charlotte tells TMZ Sports her father is "for the most part healthy" now ... and advises future pro athletes to learn from Ric's mistakes.
