Shannon Sharpe has just been sued for allegedly raping a woman on multiple occasions ... and the plaintiff in the case is asking for tens of millions in damages.

The lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Sports, was filed by a Jane Doe on Sunday in Nevada ... after she says Sharpe brutally sexually assaulted her several times at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025 -- following a yearslong, abusive relationship.

According to the suit, Doe met Sharpe in 2023 at a gym in Los Angeles -- when she was 20 years old and he was in his mid-50s. She stated in the docs during their first encounter, Sharpe told her he would "buy her fake t**s" if she won a weight-loss competition with him.

Rob Gronkowski's playing days are behind him, but his body certainly didn't get the memo ... 'cause the future Hall of Famer looked NFL ready while hosting his post-WrestleMania rager!!

The four-time Super Bowl champion held his famous Gronk Beach bash at LIV Beach at Fontainebleau Las Vegas after all the WWE festivities concluded over the weekend ... allowing fans in attendance to keep the night going after John Cena's historic win over Cody Rhodes.

At one point in the shindig, Gronk elected to drop top ... and even though there was a bunch of drinking involved, he was showing off a different kind of six pack.

NFL superstar A.J. Brown claims his whip was stolen in Philadelphia in the early hours of Monday morning ... and he's vowing to get it back -- even if he has to take matters into his own hands.

The Philadelphia Eagles receiver shared the unfortunate news via social media ... saying there are two possible outcomes -- and both result in him getting his car back.

"Dear Philly -- To whoever stole my car last night, I’ll make a deal with you," Brown said Monday. "Bring back my car and I won’t press charges, or when I find you today, it’s going to be what it’s going to be."

Dominik Mysterio's WWE Intercontinental Championship celebration Sunday night hit a bit of a speed bump ... when a golf cart he was riding in ran over one of his fans.

The wild incident unfolded outside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ... shortly after the wrestler -- who's Rey's son -- won a four-way match for the WWE strap over Finn Balor, Bron Breakker and Penta at Night 2 of WrestleMania 41.

The 28-year-old was cruising around the Raiders' famed building with security -- showing off his new hardware to a cheering crowd -- when, suddenly, a throng of his supporters raced to his ride in an apparent effort to snag a pic.

Rob Gronkowski won't be spiking a headset on the New England sideline anytime soon ... but if you ask him, the Patriots are better off with their current staff anyway!!

TMZ Sports caught up with Gronk and chopped it up about all things Pats ... and he's super excited about the direction of his old team this offseason.

Of course, New England brought back another franchise great – former linebacker Mike Vrabel – to take the reins ... and Gronk thinks the team is making big moves.

John Cena just became the first 17-time champion in WWE history after beating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 ... but he didn't do it alone -- he got a bit of an assist from Travis Scott in the process.

The main event just went down at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ... with Cena and Rhodes brutalizing each other as the former looked to surpass Ric Flair as the most decorated wrestler in the organization.

Mid-match, La Flame showed up and made a lengthy walk to the ring to help his buddy, Cena ... and played a crucial role by going after the ref when Rhodes tried to secure the win.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin crashed his way into WrestleMania 41 on Sunday -- quite literally -- 'cause the WWE legend went ramming into a barricade on an ATV during his surprise appearance in Vegas.

Austin had the sold-out Allegiant Stadium crowd going nuts when they heard the glass shatter over the speakers ... and just like he's done in the past, he had a joyride on a four-wheeler as he made his way to the ring.

Except this time, Austin misjudged his turn around one of the corners of the ring ... and drove straight for the barricade in front of the fans.

Tom Brady went "SICKO MODE" at Travis Scott's Coachella set ... grooving to the rapper's popular hits and flashing a Colgate smile for the camera.

The former NFL star hit up the second weekend of the popular SoCal festival ... and, an eagle-eyed fan captured him bouncing around to Scott's performance.

Check out the clip ... Brady's wearing a sweater, hood pulled over his cap -- and, he shoves his hands deep in his pockets, clearly fighting off the cold here.

Ivanka Trump's surfing enough this week to consider going pro ... 'cause she was back out in the ocean off the coast of Costa Rica, sporting another bikini.

Colin Kaepernick hasn't played in a professional football game in nearly a decade, but the former star quarterback is STILL training for his NFL comeback ... this according to his longtime partner Nessa Diab.

TMZ Sports caught up with the radio and TV host this week in New York City ... when we asked about Kap, who remains a free agent, as several NFL teams are still without a QB.

Nessa -- who had a child with the former 49ers quarterback in 2022 -- told us Kap's busting his ass in the gym, training regularly, hoping an NFL GM will give him a shot to show he's still got what it takes to lead a football team.

Paddy Pimblett's coming off the most impressive win of his MMA career ... but could Paddy "The Baddy" be the future face of the UFC?!

TMZ Sports ran into the great Bruce Buffer in Los Angeles this week -- just days after the dominant win over Iron Mike at UFC 314 -- where we asked the Voice of the Octagon for his take on that very question.

"Paddy definitely has 'it.' Fighters come along every couple of years, give or take, that have the 'it' factor. I measure fighters not by how they perform in the Octagon, which he did an amazing job against an amazing fighter like Michael Chandler," Buffer explained, adding ... "And [Paddy] proved himself cause he gets better with each time he steps in the Octagon."

Deontay Wilder says he'll slap Jarrell Miller on sight for running his mouth ... telling TMZ Sports he hopes "Big Baby" has his funeral arrangements made -- 'cause he's a dead man walking!!

So, when we spotted the Bronze Bomber at LAX this week ... we had to ask for his response -- and he says he doesn't need to be in a boxing ring to get his hands on the guy.

There wasn't an empty seat available when WrestleMania 41 kicked off on Saturday ... and while there was plenty of action in the ring, NFL superstar George Kittle wanted in on the fun, too -- taking advantage of his screen time by chugging an entire beer!!

There were a ton of notable celebs at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for WM Saturday ... including the 49ers tight end, "Saturday Night Live" star Michael Che, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Lil Yachty and Jelly Roll.

All the big names present for the shindig were shown on the big screen for all to see ... and once it was Kittle's turn, he turned into a magician and made his brewski disappear.

Looks like NBA player DeMar DeRozan got more than he ordered at a sushi place Friday night ... 'cause we have video of him getting into a heated altercation.

Check it out -- he's clearly PO'd as he gets physical with another male who's lying on the ground with his legs sticking straight up in the air. The fight looks pretty serious ... the Sacramento Kings small forward is going after the man, but is held off by another person in a suit.

Once the other party is back on his feet, he demands his phone be handed over, which seems to infuriate DeMar ... who lunges at him.
