Jon Moxley's job Wednesday night was to entertain the masses with a gruesome wrestling match ... and it's safe to say, he nailed the assignment.

The AEW superstar clashed with his nemesis, Adam Copeland, in a Street Fight during "Dynamite" in Omaha, Neb. ... and he put on quite the painful show.

Per the rules of the match, the two were allowed to use weapons ... so, at one point, Copeland brought out a spiked board and tossed Moxley directly onto it.

Kanye West's wild claim Kim Kardashian is pimping out their kids strikes people close to her as laughable -- especially considering he's been hanging with the controversial Tate brothers ... TMZ has learned.

Kim and Ye's co-parenting relationship hit a new low Wednesday as he fired off a string of outrageous posts on X ... the most offensive to Kim being the one where he accuses her of sex trafficking, due to North's involvement in an FKA Twigs song, and an accompanying TikTok.

However, sources familiar with the situation tell us the issue of trafficking already came up last week during an emergency hearing over North. We're told Kim abruptly pulled the plug while North was visiting her dad, because security guards informed her Andrew and Tristan Tate were going to be arriving at the location.

Brittany Mahomes is back in the gym only months after giving birth to her third child ... and she's proud of her gains.

The wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes shared a mirror selfie Wednesday during a workout ... and she's looking super fit postpartum.

Brittany showed off her body in a pink sports bra, matching leggings and matching shoes ... playfully asking her followers, "How much pink is too much?"

Deshaun Watson's big question to Jilly Anais earlier this month could be a big boon for the Cleveland Browns -- and the quarterback's wallet -- 'cause Nate Burleson tells TMZ Sports he could see the engagement sparking some improved play ... and more endorsement deals.

The 29-year-old signal-caller proposed to his longtime girlfriend over the weekend ... and now that the two are promised to wed, Burleson told us out in New York City he could see Watson's game all the sudden turning around.

"I think finding a woman and locking in the right spouse can work wonders for him as an athlete," Burleson said. "I wouldn't be surprised if Deshaun Watson plays his best football that we've seen in a long time. Having stability at home provides a solid foundation on the football field, in my opinion."

Sorry, Drake fans ... but the NCAA isn't budging on its stance against live mascots at the Big Dance -- the org. tells TMZ Sports despite a petition and his undeniable cuteness, rules are rules.

For those unfamiliar with the policy, the NCAA has banned live mascots from the tourney's early rounds ... and will only make exceptions for the Final Four games, as the host venue would be more able to accommodate an animal's needs.

The Drake men's basketball team is the 11th seed in the West Region of the tourney ... and Bulldogs fans started an online petition to allow Griff II to attend, calling the regulation a bit outdated.

Artificial Intelligence is still pretty new tech and has a lot of room for mistakes ... which might explain why legendary baseball player and civil rights hero Jackie Robinson's story about his time in the U.S. Army got pulled from the Department of Defense website, according to one U.S. congressman.

Republican U.S. Representative from Kentucky James Comer spoke to "TMZ Live" Wednesday, where we grilled him on what exactly would’ve had to be plugged into an A.I. scraper for the Robinson entry to get pulled ... especially with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth apparently wanting to scrap anything related to DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion).

When we question the terms used to execute the search, Comer does his best to explain his belief that Trump and his administration don’t have a history of racism, and that it’s not the image they’d want to project.

Cleveland Browns director of stadium security Omar Jufko has seen it all during his time at the helm -- even childbirth -- and he says while it's not every day a baby enters the world at a ball game, his crew was able to handle business!!

Jufko broke down the unexpected scenario for us this week ... saying a stadium staffer was going about her job when, all of a sudden, she went into labor.

Jufko -- who has 17 years of experience in the NFL and MLB -- explained he got the call in the command center ... and everyone immediately sprang into action to help deliver the baby.

A story highlighting Jackie Robinson's time in the United States Army is back up on the Department of Defense website ... less than 24 hours after it was removed.

The story reappeared on the DoD's government site Wednesday afternoon ... after a wave of public backlash over its removal.

It's unclear whether the initial takedown was intentional or accidental.

Marcus Jordan is now admitting he has a substance abuse problem ... weeks after he was arrested for possession of ketamine and driving under the influence.

In a new court filing, obtained by TMZ Sports, Jordan and his attorneys revealed the 34-year-old has been dealing with "challenges" related to his "alcohol/substance use" ... and now, he wants a judge to order him to complete a Pre-Trial Substance Abuse Education and Treatment Intervention Program in an effort to help him with these issues.

Jordan's attorneys argued the program would "not only benefit him personally but also serve the community by reducing the likelihood of future offenses." They added in the documents that Michael's son "is amenable to treatment."

The Los Angeles Sparks are hoping to calm Cameron Brink's nerves ... clarifying the details of their upcoming male practice player tryouts and vowing to put the guys who make the cut through a thorough background check.

A team spokesperson tells TMZ Sports the Sparks have used male practice squad players since the team's inception in 1997 ... and they're not alone.

Teams like the Phoenix Mercury and the Dallas Wings have hosted their own tryouts in the past, too ... and it's a practice used in women's college basketball as well.

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. is making the most of his team's trip to L.A. ... hitting up Rodeo Drive with Kelsey Calemine and checking out some luxury watches!!

The couple was spotted at the ‭Rolex Boutique Gearys‬ around 5 PM on Tuesday ... one day before the Nugs face off against the Los Angeles Lakers.

MPJ -- who has been linked to the model and influencer for nearly a year -- tried on some expensive timepieces during the visit ... and we're told Calemine got in on the fun, too.

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have kept a low profile since the Super Bowl thrashing, but there's a chance the superstar couple may soon reemerge at the World's Most Famous Arena to catch a Knicks game!

Trav and bro Jason chopped it up with Ben Stiller on this week's episode of "New Heights," with the actor telling the story of meeting Swift at a game a decade ago.

"I was there with my son," Stiller said. "We FaceTimed my daughter, who is a huge Swiftie. She's 23 now, we had the best time. She was incredible."

Iman Shumpert is adamant he never leaked any sort of information to the public about his messy divorce with Teyana Taylor.

The former NBA star's attorney, Stephen C. Steele, said in a statement to TMZ Sports on Wednesday that Shumpert vehemently denies Taylor's allegations that he recently dropped nuggets about their split to media members in order to drum up interest in his new rap music.

"My client, Mr. Iman Shumpert, has never whatsoever leaked any allegations or claims stated in any of the pleadings in" the Taylor/Shumpert divorce case, Steele said. "Mr. Shumpert adamantly denies that he has provided any information to any media."

The biggest honor in entertainment means nothing to Ben Stiller -- at least in comparison to his beloved New York Knicks' success ... 'cause the actor said he'd rather have an NBA title than an Oscar!!

The comedy legend and "Severance" director admitted just how crazy he is about his basketball team on the latest episode of Travis and Jason Kelce's "New Heights" podcast ... when he admitted he'd be perfectly content with never getting a statuette in his trophy case -- as long as Larry O'Brien comes back to New York.

Stiller joked a Knicks title is a lot more likely ... so he's "definitely down" for it to play out like that.

Dodgers star Max Muncy was super pissed off after a fan derailed his attempt at catching a foul ball during the MLB Tokyo Series Wednesday ... but the culprit wasn't the average spectator -- it was ex-NFLer Rodney Peete!!

The random moment broke out amid L.A.'s 6-3 win over the Chicago Cubs in Japan ... when the 34-year-old third baseman ran near the seats to try and catch a pop-up.

Muncy was just inches away from making the highlight ... but Peete, too, extended his limb in hopes of getting a souvenir -- and he came away with it, which shouldn't come as a surprise considering he was also drafted several times by MLB teams, but pursued football instead.

Take notes, Common ... Warriors forward Kevon Looney just gave a masterclass on how to protect the oblivious from loose basketballs on NBA floors!!

Just days after the rapper failed to save Jennifer Hudson's noggin from a tipped pass at a Knicks game ... Looney showed everyone how it should be done while he was giving a pregame interview Tuesday night.

The Golden State big man was chatting with Kerith Burke at the Chase Center just ahead of his team's matchup with the Bucks ... when a ball came careening straight for the media member's head.
