WWE Superstar Seth Rollins says he's in full support of the writers and actors striking in Hollywood ... but tells TMZ Sports there's a bit of a "silver lining" in the situation, 'cause it gives people a new opportunity to check out wrestling!!
Of course, SAG-AFTRA decided to join the Writers Guild of America on the picket line last week ... effectively shutting Hollywood down after tense negotiations with the studios.
Seth makes it clear he is siding with the talented actors and writers fighting for what they want ... but he welcomes any first-time fans to watch some wrestling in the meantime!!
"I know it's a difficult time for the actors and the writers," Seth said at LAX this week. "I believe they're doing the right thing asking for what they deserve. I stand by them.
"But it is a fortunate part of not being part of a union that we're able to still perform and, for our audiences and people who may not be familiar, now they get the opportunity to tune in and see what we're all about."
Seth added the new fans couldn't come at a better time ... 'cause the current roster of talent is the greatest its ever been.
"Business is hot right now," he said. "We're in a boom, I think. When we look back on it, it's going to be a special time."

Wrestling Star Teddy Hart Arrested ... Allegedly Had Ecstasy, Steroids In Car

Independent wrestling star Teddy Hart -- the nephew of Bret Hart and Owen Hart -- was arrested last week after cops say he was in possession of ecstasy and steroids.
According to Titusville Police Department documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, the drugs were found in Teddy's rental car during a routine traffic stop on Friday in Titusville, Fla.
Cops say they initially pulled over the 43-year-old wrestler at around midnight ... after they say he ran a red light and traveled at a high rate of speed in a 2022 Mustang.
During the stop, though, police said they smelled an "overbearing odor of burnt marijuana emanating" from the vehicle ... and noticed "an unsealed medical marijuana container with a faded label inside of the glove compartment" as well as "several pieces of loose leaf marijuana shake" on one of the car's seats.

During an ensuing search of the car, cops said they found a baggie of red pills and a baggie of red powder that both tested positive for the presence of MDMA. They also said they found two small vials inside of a bag in the car that were labeled Masteron and Testosterone Cypionate -- which cops say are known anabolic steroids. Cops also claimed they found another baggie during the search that contained a blue powdery substance -- which they said also tested positive for MDMA.
Teddy -- real name Edward Annis -- was then arrested and booked on two felony charges ... possession of MDMA and possession of a controlled substance without prescription. Records show he was released from custody on Saturday.
This is far from the first time the wrestler has had trouble with the law ... he's been in and out of jail multiple times in the last few years -- including back in 2021, when he had also been accused of being in possession of controlled substances. In fact, Teddy has been arrested so many times over the years, a Twitter account called "Is Teddy Hart In Jail" was reportedly created to monitor his myriad legal issues.

Teddy -- the youngest person to ever sign a WWE developmental contract -- has wrestled for multiple orgs in his career ... including the WWE and Ring of Honor. He's spent most of the last decade, however, on the indie circuit.

Ric Flair Launches 'Wooooo' Energy Drink 'Best Natural High I've Had'

Exclusive
- 45 shares
Ric Flair just launched an energy drink, and while it won't necessarily make you a stylin', profilin', limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin' and dealin' son of a gun ... you can now drink like The Nature Boy!
Wooooo Energy debuted earlier this week ... and TMZ Sports was joined by the WWE Hall of Famer and his business partner, Chad Bronstein.
"I think it's gonna be the most successful venture that I've ever been involved with in my life," Flair told us.
Of course, energy drinks are as hot as they've ever been ... look no further than people like Logan Paul and KSI, who have also launched their own drink.
But, Chad says Wooooo isn't your standard, caffeine-loaded, sugary drink ... like some others in the industry.
"It's a different type of energy drink. We have a proprietary blend of functional mushrooms, not psychedelic mushrooms, make it very clear, it's mushrooms you can buy at Whole Foods today. Lions Mane, Reishi, etc., it's a proprietary blend, so you don't really have that jittery feeling if you drank a Red Bull," Bronstein said.
The pair says the plan is to blow the drink up ... and they've already started getting product out to different areas of the country.
"We launched in markets on the east coast in thousands of stores, we're going midwest, [west] coast, California, we're online. We're going to be making some pretty large announcements with some partnerships. We're getting involved with doing some exclusives with sports teams, as well. It's going to be a massive distribution."
Ric and Chad have even hit the streets spreading the word about the drink ... hooking up a custom golf cart, and driving around South Florida, giving away the energy drink.
Flair even threw a big party at Hulk Hogan's bar, Hogan's Hangout, in Clearwater, FL.
Wooooo!

Logan Paul, KSI Prime Energy Drink Recalled In Canada ... Too Much Caffeine!!!
11:48 AM PT -- Logan Paul is firing back after Canadian health officials said his energy drink shouldn't be sold in the country because it violates health regulations ... with the WWE Superstar saying Prime isn't even distributed in Canada.
Paul says any Prime product being sold up north was illegally sent to Canada ... therefore, Prime isn't breaking any Canadian rules.
Earlier this week, Canadian health officials declared they were recalling the drink because its 200 milligrams of caffeine was over their legally allowed limit.
It's definitely no longer Prime day in Canada ... officials up north said this week they're recalling Logan Paul and KSI's popular energy drink -- due to its high caffeine content.
Health Canada announced the decision Wednesday ... saying at 200 milligrams of caffeine per can, Prime Energy needs to be pulled from store shelves.
Officials said the caffeine in each container -- which is equal to roughly two full cans of Red Bull -- is just too high ... coming in at 20 milligrams over the country's recommended limit of 180 per serving.
The move comes just a couple days after United States senator Chuck Schumer questioned whether the social media influencers' beverage should be sold in American stores as well.
The democrat argued that it posed a "serious health concern" for kids ... and he urged the Food and Drug Administration to investigate it all.
For their part, Paul and KSI have fired back ... noting that Prime Energy is different than the Prime Hydration beverage that they initially launched back in 2022.
The hydration one, they and the company reiterated, is for everyone ... while the energy version -- which dropped earlier this year -- is "not recommended" for anyone under 18 years old.
Paul recently created a sarcastic social media video where he attempted to demonstrate the difference between the drinks and water.
"As a brand," Prime officials added in a statement earlier this week, "our top priority is consumer safety, so we welcome discussions with the FDA or any other organization regarding suggested industry changes they feel are necessary in order to protect consumers."
All versions of the Prime drinks have become wildly popular since their debuts ... as the social media stars have aggressively advertised it to their legions of fans with a ton of success.

He was 54 years old.
"There are no words to convey the deep sense of loss and sadness we are feeling right now," Drozdov's family said in a statement. "We would like to extend our deepest appreciation to everyone.

WWE extends its condolences to Darren Drozdov’s family, friends and fans.https://t.co/7gDRO0tiGl pic.twitter.com/EqPtbGIPy8
"You all gave him meaning, purpose and something to live for," the Drozdov family continued. "He loved each and every one of you and cherished the conversations, notes and letters he received. His faith in humanity never faltered, so know that for all the love you've shown him, he loved you back."
Drozdov's family added that he passed away due to natural causes.
Drozdov was initially introduced to the sports world through football ... when he played noseguard in the NFL for three seasons.
But, following the end of his playing days, he found his true calling in wrestling ... first appearing in the ECW -- before debuting with the WWE in 1998.
Drozdov initially competed under the pseudonym "Puke" -- a nickname he had previously been given for his affinity for throwing up during football games -- but, he later wrestled as "Droz" ... gaining fame for the way he teamed up with the Road Warriors.
Sadly, in Oct. 1999 -- just as his wrestling career looked poised to take off -- he broke his neck in a match with D'Lo Brown ... and was paralyzed from the neck down.
He eventually gained movement in his arms and upper body -- but he would still require a wheelchair to get around for the rest of his life. He did, though, remain steadfast that Brown was not to blame for the incident -- and the two stayed friends over the years.
Following Drozdov's passing Friday ... Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson penned an emotional tribute to the wrestler, writing on his social media page, "We wrestled on a lot of cards together. Such an awesome dude."
"Great personality and great wrestling talent," he added. "We always talked about football and fishing. Sending love, strength, mana and light to his family. RIP brother."
Rest in peace.

TMZ Sports talked to the WWE Hall of Famer about his friend's passing ... from Sheik's impact on the sport (and some of its biggest stars like Hulk Hogan) to how they met decades ago.

Sgt. says he became fast friends with Sheik and the guys even worked together at his dad's roofing company.
The Iron Sheik was one of the greatest heels pro wrestling has ever seen and, although he was playing a character, fans take this seriously. We asked Slaughter if the hate ever got to Sheik.
"Never difficult [on Sheik]. It fueled the fire. It just fueled the fire," the HOF told us.
Slaughter also talked about Sheik's love for his family -- his wife and kids.
"He was a character. I was a character. But we both had families and we loved our families."
