With Shaquille O’Neal having been retired from basketball for almost a decade, many were skeptical on how he would perform in the wrestling ring. However, he exceeded everyone’s expectations when he teamed with Jade Cargill to defeat Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet on Dynamite. The match’s highlight saw Shaq take a bump through a pair of tables from the ring apron and ensured the clip would be picked up by media worldwide.
Fans have since been wondering if Shaq was one and done in an AEW ring, and the NBA legend was asked this recently on Inside The NBA on TNT about this. Shaq would confirm he is returning by responding, “Soon. This summer.” This now opens up the question of who Shaq will face. He could resume his feud, Cody, alternatively with Paul Wight on AEW’s roster it’s possible the battle of the giants match WWE failed to deliver at WrestleMania 33 may finally occur.
