Reacts To John Cena’s ‘Raw’ Shade
Glad I’m Alive to Hear It!!!

John Cena invoked Ric Flair‘s name when declaring his 17th World Championship during “Monday Night Raw” this week … but the Nature Boy tells TMZ Sports he’s not irked one bit by the slight — admitting he’s just happy to be alive to hear it!!
We caught up with the man Cena’s attempting to surpass for the most world titles in WWE history … about 24 hours after the 47-year-old told fans he’d be old news by the time he ends his farewell tour.
“At WrestleMania, I make history by winning a 17th Championship, and I finally force you to forget the name of the fun machine jet flying woooo Ric Flair,” Cena said Monday. “You will forever say the name John Cena.”
While Flair took it all in stride, he tells us Cena is sorely mistaken if he thinks anyone would be able to scrub him from the history books.
“They’ve been trying to get rid of the ‘woo’ for 50 years. The ‘woo’ ain’t going away, and neither is Ric Flair.”
Flair added he’s thankful he’s still breathing amid the whole Cena chatter — especially after the life he’s lived … which included a health scare back in 2019.
Despite catching a stray in Cena’s promo … the 76-year-old believes turning the leader of the C-Nation heel “was the coolest thing they could have done.”
In fact, Flair says he hoped Cena would have won the “Royal Rumble” earlier this year … and certainly seems to be on board with watching him continue to succeed during his last run.

If WrestleMania is the night history is made, Flair will be in attendance to see it with his own eyes — he’ll also be there cheering on his daughter, Charlotte Flair, and will hit up a pool party with TMZ Sports’ very own Mojo Muhtadi, too!!

Jake Paul just got engaged to his speed skater girlfriend Jutta Leerdam … and even though they might not see eye-to-eye at the moment, Canelo Alvarez has some valuable advice for the soon-to-be Problem Husband!!
Alvarez has been with Fernanda Gomez since 2016 … and the two officially tied the knot in 2021.
They’ve been thriving together ever since … so, when TMZ Sports mentioned Paul’s proposal this week, the 62-2 boxer gave Paul some helpful tips on how they can go the distance, too!!
“All the best for him and all the best for his girlfriend,” Alvarez said, “Patience and good love in relationship.”
Paul has had to learn about patience recently … as he THOUGHT he was close to finally fighting the Mexican superstar, but the talks crumbled.
When we asked if the two will ever actually meet in the ring, Alvarez gave a response Paul won’t like to hear.
“I never say no, because you never know what happens next,” Alvarez said. “But as an official fighter, no, I don’t think so.”
OCTOBER 2024

What Alvarez DOES plan on doing is fighting the current IBF super middleweight champion William Scull on May 3 at The Venue Riyadh Season, Riyadh.
Scull (23-0, 9 KOs) is entering the bout with a lot of confidence, but Alvarez expects that from every boxer he goes up against.
“He’s a good fighter, Cuban-style, and he’s gonna be a complicated fight … but I fought everybody out there, I fight every style out there, and I can adapt myself to anything.”
Canelo also shares his thoughts on when he could hang up his gloves … and his answer on retirement might surprise you.
Diddy
Jury Strategy Will Seal His Fate
Published

The Diddy trial could begin and end with jury deliberation, because the composition of the jury could determine whether Diddy spends the rest of his life in prison or goes free.
TMZ breaks down the factors in selecting a jury of Diddy’s peers in our new documentary, “The Downfall of Diddy: His Defense,” available now on Tubi.
Dr. Phil, a former jury consultant who masterminded Oprah‘s big win in the Texas beef trial, says it’s critical to find open-minded jurors, and it’s not as simple as asking if they’re open-minded. One way to root that out … asking prospective jurors if they’ve ever held a strong position and then changed their minds.
Jo-Ellan Dimitrius, the jury consultant for the defense in the O.J. Simpson murder trial, talks about the need to find jurors who are comfortable talking about lurid sex.
There’s also strategy in finding a diverse jury, and whether to favor men or women, Black or white jurors, etc.
TMZ Studios
We assembled a mock jury for our documentary, which deliberated and argued fiercely … then voted on whether Diddy was guilty or not.
The documentary, “The Downfall of Diddy: The Defense,” is available for free on Tubi.
