WWE

Logan Paul turned his U.S. Championship belt into a censor bar this week -- the WWE Superstar posted a completely naked shower snap on social media ... with only his new, shiny addition covering his junk!!

The Maverick -- who won his first wrestling title over the weekend after beating Rey Mysterio at Crown Jewel -- shared a few snaps of his life as the champ on Thursday ... and let's just say he's been getting some quality time with the hardware.

The 28-year-old clearly wouldn't let his new belt leave his side as he went about his daily routine -- spooning in bed with his fiancée, Nina Agdal, enjoying a rooftop stogie, working out ... and even when he was rinsing off!!

A lot of Logan's followers cracked jokes in the comments ... with one person saying, "Nahhh no one is wearing that belt after the last pic 😂" and another going a bit more blunt by adding, "Bro got his meat all up on da belt."

It's been an insane start for Logan's wrestling career -- the dude has fought big names like Roman Reigns, Seth Freakin' Rollins, Ricochet and The Miz over the past year and a half ... and now, he can finally call himself a champion.

Logan Paul is now a wrestling champion, 'cause the dude just won a major WWE event in Saudi Arabia... which saw him raise a gold belt in glory.

The YouTuber-turned-athlete competed Saturday in WWE's Crown Jewel over in Riyadh against Rey Mysterio ... and he ultimately emerged victorious from after taking a pummeling in the ring.

There was a lot of back and forth between and RM ... and a lot of body slams. In the end, Logan won by "punching" Rey after he jumped toward him from the ropes -- which knocked Rey out cold. The reason ... LP had quickly/stealthily thrown on a pair of brass knuckles.

Once Rey was down, Logan went to pin him ... and he successfully held him for 3 seconds.

It's a big moment for Logan, especially considering he's relatively new to the wrestling biz -- remember, he only officially joined in 2022 ... and now, he's already a straight-up champ. Of course, all this WWE stuff is completely preordained/staged ... so, impressive to a point.

Still, we're sure Logan's stoked about it ... 'cause him winning big now means he'll probably have a long, storied future in the promotion, assuming his body can hold up. All these storylines might be bogus -- but the damage pro wrestlers endure is most certainly real.

FWIW, there's also his boxing career that's running parallel to all this ... and there, too, he's finding quite a bit of success. Remember, he's fresh off a win against Dillon Danis.

Logan Paul es ahora un campeón de lucha libre, porque el tipo acaba de ganar un importante evento de la WWE en Arabia Saudita, donde lo vimos levantar un cinturón de oro en la gloria.

El YouTuber convertido en atleta compitió el sábado en el evento Crown Jewel en Riad contra Rey Mysterio, una de las batallas más atractivas del show, del cual salió victorioso después de recibir una paliza en el ring.

Hubo un montón de idas y venidas entre ambos luchadores, además de un montón de golpes. Al final, Logan ganó tras darle un "puñetazo" con una manopla a Mysterio después de que este saltara hacia él desde las cuerdas. Después de este golpe ilegal, Mysterio quedó noqueado.

Una vez que Rey quedó en la lona, Logan lo cubrió exitosamente en el suelo durante 3 segundos.

Es un gran momento para Logan, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que es relativamente nuevo en el negocio de la lucha libre. Recuerden, que el luchador se unió oficialmente en 2021 y ya es un campeón directo. Por supuesto, todo esto de la WWE está completamente preestablecido /escenificado, así que impresionante hasta cierto punto.

Aun así, estamos seguros de que Logan está muy emocionado porque ganar a lo grande significa que probablemente tendrá un futuro largo y lleno de historia en la promoción. Esto, suponiendo que su cuerpo lo aguanta. Todas estas historias pueden ser falsas, pero el daño que sufren los luchadores profesionales es ciertamente real.

Lo que es importante, Logan Paul también tiene una carrera de boxeo en paralelo, donde también está consiguiendo algunos logros. Recuerden que acaba de ganarle a Dillon Danis.

John Cena's new movie, "Freelance," comes out this week, but actors are still on strike, and that means the WWE legend cannot do press to promote the film.

Enter the 16x WWE champion's friends -- including Alexa Bliss, LA Knight, and TMZ Sports' own Mojo Muhtadi, in addition to a bunch more -- who in place of Cena, attended a premiere of the movie at Regal Waterfod Lakes in Orlando.

Of course, SAG-AFTRA, the union representing actors, is still at odds with the Hollywood studios. As part of the strike, actors cannot do media to promote a project ... and if you did, that'd be crossing the picket line.

Obviously a big no-no (ask Drew Barrymore).

So, Cena's buds did the next best thing.

As for the movie, it's got an impressive cast ... with Alison Brie and Christian Slater also starring in the movie, which the studio described like this:

An ex-special forces operative takes a job to provide security for a journalist as she interviews a dictator, but a military coup breaks out in the middle of the interview, and they are forced to escape into the jungle where they must survive.

While he undoubtedly was bummed he couldn't be at Orlando showing, we're told Cena was seriously touched by his friend's show of support!

Lil Wayne está de acuerdo con la gente, la figura de cera que intentaron hacer a su semejanza no se parece mucho que digamos al rapero.

Una imagen de una estatua de Weezy F. Baby del Museo de Cera de Hollywood en Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, se volvió viral el lunes y las bromas al respecto no se hicieron esperar.

Acertaron con los tatuajes de Wayne, pero realmente no pudieron con su cara. Muchos pensaron que se parecía más a Toosii con rastas que al jefe de Young Money.

"Lo siento, museo de cera, pero esa mierda no soy yo. Lo intentaron y  les agradezco el esfuerzo", escribió Wayne a los conservadores en Tuiter.

No solo Wayne... tambien hubo mucha conversación respecto a la estatua de aspecto extraño de Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson a principios de esta semana.

La leyenda de Hollywood/WWE incluso le ofreció al museo, este en concreto situado en París, a ayudar personalmente a arreglar la corrección.

Lil Wayne agrees with the masses ... a wax figure with his likeness did a TERRIBLE job capturing his details.

An image of a Weezy F. Baby statue from the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, TN began to explode across social media Monday ... with many recognizing the figure intended to resemble Wayne, it was close but no cigar.

The figurine nailed the details of Wayne's tattoos but couldn't really nail his face. Many thought it looked more like Toosii with dreads than the Young Money boss.

"Sorry wax museum but dat shit ain’t me! You tried tho and I appreciate the effort," Wayne wrote to the curators on Twitter.

Social media users were far less forgiving than Wayne -- equally merciless as the dragging they gave the weird-looking statue of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson earlier this week.

The Hollywood/WWE legend even offered to the museum, this particular one being located in Paris, personal hands-on help to fix the correction.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson se está poniendo a trabajar en su nueva figura de cera, la misma que la gente asegura que no se parece en nada a él, y para eso se ha asociado con el equipo del museo de cera para hacer algunos cambios serios.

El actor respondió al ruido sobre su nueva figura el domingo, riéndose de lo ocurrido mientras le decía a sus fans que su equipo se iba a contactar con sus "amigos del Museo Grévin, en París, Francia" para hacer los cambios.

Obviamente, los usuarios de Internet no fueron los únicos en pensar que había diferencias entre la figura y la persona real. El mismo Johnson agregó que trabajará con el museo para arreglar "detalles importantes y mejoras - empezando por su color de piel 🤣".

Un portavoz del Museo Grévin le dice a TMZ que efectivamente están trabajando con Dwayne para corregir el error, añadiendo que van a "remediarlo lo más rápido posible y que le van a enviar nuevas fotos una vez que esté completado."

El portavoz del museo nos dice que la figura será arreglada durante la noche, por lo que permanecerá en exhibición por el momento. Asegura que su equipo no haya la hora de que Dwayne viaje a París para celebrar el nuevo aspecto de la figura con un poco de champán, ¡un movimiento con clase, Grévin!

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is getting to work on his new wax figure that people said looks nothin' like him ... by teaming up with the wax museum to make some serious changes.

The actor responded to the noise about his new figure on Sunday -- having a good laugh while telling his fans he's going to have his team reach out to "our friends at Grévin Museum, in Paris France" to make the changes.

Obviously, folks online weren't alone in thinking there were differences between the figure and the man himself ... he added he'll work with the museum to fix "important details and improvements -- starting with my skin color 🤣."

A spokesperson for the Grévin Museum tells TMZ they indeed are working with Dwayne to right the wrong ... adding they'll "remedy it as quickly as possible and send him new photos once completed."

The museum's spokesperson tells us the figure will be fixed during the night, so it'll stay on display for the time being ... noting their team can't wait for Dwayne to come to Paris to celebrate the new look with some champagne -- classy move, Grévin!

A new wax figure of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has fans questioning what the artist was thinking when they made it ... with many taking to social media to voice their concerns.

Here's the deal, Dwayne's been memorialized -- or, maybe not so much -- in a new wax figure that's going on display at the Grevin Museum in Paris ... but fans of the actor have been left pretty disappointed by the way it looks.

Some say the choice to put Dwayne in an outfit that screams "dad" was a bad call ... while many pointed out how the skin tone isn't accurate -- one simply wrote, "Bro is white."

Apart from Mr. Clean and Pitbull being a couple of names folks have compared it to, there's another person folks on X have said it resembles more -- Vin Diesel, his costar from the 'Fast & Furious' movies.

As we reported, the 2 have had on-set beef in the past, which even led to Dwayne leaving the series for a hot minute ... so some online have pointed out how pissed Dwayne's gonna be when he finds out it looks more like Dom Toretto than him.

Una nueva figura de cera de Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson tiene a los fans preguntándose en qué diablos estaba pensando el artista cuando hizo el trabajo, y muchos están usando sus redes sociales para expresar sus preocupaciones.

Esta es la cuestión, Dwayne ha sido hornado -o, tal vez no tanto- en una nueva figura de cera para el Museo Grevin de París, pero los fans del actor se han quedado bastante decepcionados por la forma en que se ve.

Algunos dicen que la idea de poner a Dwayne en un traje que grita "papá" fue una mala decisión, mientras que muchos otros aseguran que el tono de piel no es exacto... uno simplemente escribió: "Bro, es blanco".

Aparte de Mr. Clean y Pitbull, dos rostros con los que ha sido comparada esta nueva figura, hay otra persona con la que sus seguidores en X dicen que se parece más: Vin Diesel, su coprotagonista en las películas de "Fast & Furious".

Como ya les contamos, los dos han tenido problemas en el set en el pasado, que incluso llevaron a Dwayne a dejar la serie, por lo que algunos están augurando lo enojado que estará cuando se entere de que se parece más a Dom Toretto que a él mismo.

Rey Mysterio heard Logan Paul call him out after beating up Dillon Danis on Saturday ... and now the WWE Superstar is intent on making the YouTuber-turned-fighter pay in front of the world!

TMZ Sports ran into Rey Monday afternoon in NYC (he's hard to miss with the luchador mask!) ... and we had to ask him about Paul's in-ring trash talk.

"I'm looking to shut him up in a way," 48-year-old Mysterio told us without hesitation.

"He said he has his eyesight on something and someone, it's me and the U.S. title. So let's go! I've only been doing this for 34 years. I don't think he was even born before that happened."

Of course, after 28-year-old Logan beat Danis, he called out the pro wrestling legend ... "Rey Mysterio, I already beat you once, brother, and I'm coming for that U.S. Championship. Let's go!"

FYI, Mysterio has been the United States Champion since mid-August.

Rey and Logan have some history. In fact, Paul and The Miz defeated Mysterio and his son Dominik at WrestleMania 38 in 2022.

Thankfully, it doesn't sound like we're going to have to wait long until the men are back in the squared circle together.

"I'm hoping to see [Logan] there this Friday [on SmackDown]," Mysterio told us, adding, "I don't know if it'll go down right then and there [on SmackDown], but we will plan a date."

Despite the bad blood, even Rey couldn't help but admit Logan's pretty awesome in the ring.

"I have seen his growth inside the ring and he picks up very fast," Mysterio said, adding, "He's good. I'm not gonna lie. But I don't think he's better than Rey Mysterio."

Haley Cavinder's borrowing a phrase from another hooper who was pretty good at basketball ... I'm back!

22-year-old Haley, after penning an emotional goodbye letter with her twin sister Hanna in April, has decided she won't hang up her Nike's after all ... she's entered the transfer portal and plans to play again starting next season.

Cavinder's last run on the court was epic ... she helped lead the Univ. of Miami women's basketball team to their first-ever Elite Eight. The Cinderella run included an upset of No. 1 seeded Indiana, a game Cavinder iced with clutch free throws in the final seconds.

Haley earned second-team All-ACC honors that season, averaging 12 points and four rebounds.

Aside from the success on the court, Haley's also a star away from the hardwood ... counting nearly three-quarters of a million followers on Instagram.

Haley and her sister Hanna also signed an NIL deal with the WWE as part of its inaugural "Next In Line" class. Many fans expected them to join the pro wrestling powerhouse as the next step in their career.

Adding to the surprise of Haley's decision ... she made it clear she didn't want to play without Hanna, saying, "I started with her, so at the end of the day, I want to end basketball and start our new lives together, but it was definitely difficult for me."

Drake's wallet will be a whole lot fatter if Logan Paul eviscerates Dillon Danis on Saturday ... 'cause the rapper just placed a massive, $850,000 bet on the WWE superstar to score a knockout victory!!!

The "God's Plan" crooner put down the money on The Maverick on Thursday ... revealing he'll get back $1.35 MILLION if Paul comes through.

Drake said he's backing Paul because of all of the trolling Danis has done in the leadup to their much-anticipated boxing match -- which has included a slew of digs at Paul's fiancée, Nina Agdal.

"Never bet against personal vendetta and settling scores," he said of the wager on his Instagram page.

Paul was clearly happy to have Drake in his corner ... he tweeted in response to the bet, "Easy money."

Danis, meanwhile, was pretty pissed, writing in a statement of his own, "850 on my head is disrespect."

It all, of course, nearly didn't happen ... as on Thursday morning, Danis threw a microphone at Paul that opened up a gash near the YouTuber's right eye. Fortunately for fans of the fight, Paul said it didn't do too much damage, and the match is still on.

Michael Jordan es considerado una de las 400 personas más ricas de Estados Unidos.

Forbes acaba de conceder el honor a la leyenda de la NBA después de que dijo que la venta de su participación en los Charlotte Hornets a principios de este verano empujó su patrimonio neto a 3 mil millones de dólares.

Jordan, según la publicación, ocupa ahora el puesto 397 entre los 400 más ricos del país, solo unos puestos por debajo del mandamás de la WWE, Vince McMahon.

Se ha convertido en el primer atleta profesional en entrar en la lista.

Michael ganó gran parte de su fortuna a través de contratos de la NBA y sus enormes acuerdos de patrocinio con empresas como Nike y Gatorade, pero fue la venta Hornets lo que dio el último empujón.

Como informamos, Jordan vendió el equipo a Gabe Plotkin y Rick Schnall en junio por 3 mil millones de dólares, esto después de que inicialmente compró la participación mayoritaria de la organización en 2010 por apenas 175 millones de dólares.

Michael Jordan is now so rich, he's considered one of the wealthiest 400 people in America!!!

Forbes just bestowed the honor on the NBA legend ... after it said the sale of his stake in the Charlotte Hornets earlier this summer pushed his net worth to $3 BILLION.

Jordan, according to the outlet, now comes in at No. 379 among the country's wealthiest 400 ... just a few slots below WWE honcho Vince McMahon.

He's become the first professional athlete to ever make the list.

His Airness, of course, gained a ton his of fortune through NBA contracts and his huge endorsement deals with companies like Nike and Gatorade ... but it was the Hornets sale that pushed him into the rarified air.

As we reported, Jordan sold the team to Gabe Plotkin and Rick Schnall in June for $3 billion ... this after he initially bought the majority stake of the organization in 2010 for a mere $175 million.

Ex-WWE Superstar Matt Riddle seemingly had a few too many drinks during a plane delay earlier this month ... grabbing a microphone and shouting at fellow passengers -- and TMZ Sports has the video.

The incident went down at JFK Airport on September 9 ... the same day the two-time Raw Tag Team Champion accused a Port Authority police officer of sexual assault, which led to an investigation.

Our video shows what went down prior to the allegations.

A witness tells us their flight to Orlando was postponed multiple times, so Riddle and his friend waited it out by enjoying drinks at a nearby restaurant.

The witness says Riddle was becoming "incredibly obnoxious" throughout the delay ... being "extremely loud and rude."

Once it was almost time to board, the witness noticed Riddle walking around, yelling and asking when the plane would take off -- before going up to the gate's front desk and grabbing the mic.

In the video, Riddle -- who's holding a drink -- is heard asking fellow passengers if they're capable of flying the plane. It's all in a playful manner, but staffers were quick to put an end to it.

The passengers eventually got on the plane ... except Riddle, who was denied entry due to his state.

Our witness tells us he grew upset, asking "So are you telling me I'm not going home today?"

As we previously reported, cops responded to a "disorderly person" -- AKA Riddle -- but when they met with him at the terminal, he apologized for his behavior. Cops did not file a police report ... and Riddle was free to go.

Of course, Riddle then went to Instagram to accuse an officer of sexual assault and harassment ... but the post was later deleted. The investigation into his claims remains ongoing.
