WarnerMedia Teases AEW Appearance By Shaquille O’Neal

The man who inspired the Shaq-a-Roni pizza may be All In on All Elite Wrestling. As part of a bigger announcement regarding the former basketball player’s contract extension with Turner Sports, the company teased that Shaq could be heading into the squared circle as part of AEW programming:

Could Shaq return to the ring, making a cameo at a future All Elite Wrestling (AEW) event on TNT? We shall see….

Already the star of Shaq Life on TNT as well as one of their presenters for basketball programming since 2011, Shaq is no stranger to AEW’s home turf on the dial. He’s also no stranger to wrestling, making several appearances for WWE over the years, including an in-ring appearance in the third-annual Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royale

In AEW’s time on the air, they’ve already hosted a Cracker Barrel-themed hardcore match, a segment devoted to Rick and Morty, and a confrontation between Chris Jericho and Mike Tyson. Shaq would likely fit right in on Dynamite, although exactly when the larger than life athlete will arrive is unknown.
