A WILD moment went down during the main event of WWE's Monday Night Raw ... as superstars Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed fought in an epic Last Man Standing match -- which ended with the entire ring collapsing!!!

It happened when Reed -- who weighs in at 330 pounds -- and Strowman -- who tips the scales at 385 -- made their way to the top rope. Once the two got into position, Reed brought their combined 715 pounds crashing down to the mat -- leading to all hell breaking loose!

"The ropes are gone," RAW commentator Joe Tessitore said. "The ring has gone down, and both men are laid out!"

Kristin Cavallari is going into detail about her split with Mark Estes, saying age was a factor while getting choked up at one point.

The 37-year-old reality star discussed why she broke up with 24-year-old Estes after dating for 7 months on Tuesday's episode of her "Let's Be Honest" podcast.

Kristin kicked things off by telling her listeners it had nothing to do with cheating or being mean, noting that Mark was always sweet and supportive.

Congrats are in order for WNBA star Cameron Brink -- the L.A. Sparks rookie just announced she's going to get married!!

The ballin' beauty shared the big news on Monday ... posting several pics of her longtime boyfriend, Ben Felter, getting on one knee and popping the question in front of the Eiffel Tower during their recent trip to Paris.

Naturally ... she said, "Yes in every lifetime 🤍♾️."

Shelby Daniele -- the college track and field star who died suddenly at 23 years old last month -- passed away from a brain aneurysm ... her close friend's dad said.

Brian Brandenburg -- whose daughter, Eva, committed to Cal Poly this year in large part because of Shelby -- revealed the sad news in an emotional post on his Facebook page.

"The young lady that was the driving force in Eva's decision to run Track at Cal Poly, Shelby Daniele, passed away last night of a brain aneurism (sic)," he wrote. "Completely heartbreaking."

6:55 PM PT -- Major League Baseball released a statement following the passing of Pete Rose ... extending their condolences to Rose's family, friends and friends "who admired his greatness, grit and determination on the field of play."

Livvy Dunne rocked a fitting accessory to watch her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, finish off his one-of-a-kind rookie season ... a pair of one-of-a-kind boots!

The feet heat -- which Dunne sported to cheer on the Pirates ace in his 2024-25 finale against the Yankees on Saturday -- featured a white Skenes Pittsburgh jersey on a pair of white Cowboy boots ... and TMZ Sports has learned Jessica Martini made them by hand.

The artist tells us she just recently came up with the idea for the footwear after leaving her tech consulting job ... and after she was able to make some pairs for the wives of MLB All-Stars Aaron Nola and Will Smith earlier this season, she reached out to Dunne to see if the LSU gymnast would want some of her own to cheer on her man.

More proof Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are totally fine despite her glaring absence from his last two NFL games ... he's never expected his girlfriend to attend every contest, and even said so himself.

Travis voiced his expectations for his girlfriend in an interview back in 2016, and now the clip is resurfacing in light of Taylor being MIA at Chiefs games for two straight NFL Sundays.

In the clip, Travis tells WhoSay ... "If you're dating a professional athlete, I do not believe, at least for me, that you have to go to all the games."

Jussie Smollett is talking Lee Daniels, Kristin Cavallari is single and Dikembe Mutombo is being remembered ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles break down Jussie's comments on "Empire" creator Lee.

Rob Schneider was one of millions to share their condolences following Dikembe Mutombo's death ... but his tribute to the legend stuck out in particular -- as he used the tragic news to push his anti-vax stance.

The comedian went to X to mourn Mutombo's passing on Monday ... starting it off by saying, "Rest in Peace..."

Many wish he would've just left it at that ... as the rest of his post -- which quoted a video Mutombo made in 2021 to promote the Covid vaccine -- speculated if getting the jab had anything to do with the former All-Star's death.

Damian Lillard was caught off guard while taking a bunch of basketball-related questions at Bucks Media Day ... when one reporter hilariously used the opportunity to ask him if he's dating rapper GloRilla.

The 25-year-old "Yeah Glo!" MC famously shot her shot at the Milwaukee hooper earlier this year ... but up until this point, both sides have been tight-lipped on whether the attempt was successful.

Dame Time finally provided some answers on Monday ... and it certainly sounds like it was an air ball for Glo.

Media Day wasn't all fun and games for Draymond Green on Monday ... he got into a feisty back-and-forth with a reporter that lasted nearly two minutes.

The journalist's comment -- "people worry about you" -- came as the Warriors superstar was sitting down for a Q and A at Golden State's annual (and normally lighthearted) preseason event ... and, check out the video, Green seemed to take umbrage with it right away.

He stopped the media member in his tracks ... and asked him, "Why are they worried about me?"

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are still going strong despite her noticeable absence at his last two NFL games.

Sources familiar with the couple tell TMZ … Taylor and Travis remain a couple, even though she hasn't been able to make it to his last two games in Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Taylor was at Travis' first two games this year, both in Kansas City, but she's been MIA since ... including a game at SoFi Stadium, where she had a bunch of concerts last year.

11:57 AM PT -- A spokesperson from the Arizona Department of Public Safety tells TMZ Sports ... the fracas all began after two women pushed each other.

"One female fell down," the rep said. "A male friend ran after the suspect ... brushing by other males before a fight ensued."

The spokesperson added three men were ultimately arrested for misdemeanor assault.

Several Arizona Cardinals fans whaled on each other in the stands of the team's game Sunday afternoon ... and things turned so violent -- one guy actually left the area leaking blood.

Ya don't need Photoshop to see LeBron and Bronny James rocking the Purple and Gold together anymore -- the father/son duo decided to stand side-by-side for some pictures at Lakers media day ... and it was adorable!!!

The two hoopers took advantage of the opportunity for a cool moment before meeting with reporters on Monday ... with Bron rocking his usual No. 23 and Bronny sporting his new 9.

Of course, it's the first time any team has been able to have such a photoshoot ... as the Jameses are the first father and son to be in the league at the same time -- and they're on the same team.

The sports world is mourning the passing of NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo ... and some basketball figures gave their reactions in real time at media day activities on Monday -- including Raptors team president Masai Ujiri, who was devastated by the news.

The longtime exec. went before reporters to passionately explain how much Mutombo meant not just to him and the sport ... but to the world.

"It's really hard to believe," he said as he held back tears. "It's hard for us to be without [Dikembe Mutombo]. You have no idea what Dikembe Mutombo meant to me. It's a tough one."

Lamar Jackson doesn't give a damn about your bets ... and the Baltimore Ravens star made that crystal clear on Monday -- telling all gamblers to stop complaining when they lose out on big paydays because of him.

Fresh off the Ravens' dominant win over the Buffalo Bills, the two-time NFL MVP went to social media to address his issue ... saying his focus is solely on his squad's success -- not his stat line.

"This is a 'TEAM' sport I'm not out here satisfied when I threw for 300yds but took a L," Jackson said. "If I throw for 50 yds and we WIN, that's wtf matters."
