After teasing for months that he’ll step inside of a pro wrestling ring, All Elite Wrestling officially confirmed this week that NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal will team with Jade Cargill to face Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet on the March 3 episode of AEW Dynamite. The match was initially teased for the Revolution pay-per-view on March 7, but there were likely schedule conflicts as the NBA All-Star Game takes place that weekend and O’Neal is heavily involved in TNT’s NBA coverage.

Nothing but respect for such a legendary athlete in Shaq, and I have no doubt Jade will be a dominant dominant figure in our women’s division.
But, they can’t touch me in the ring. And Velvet is true grit.
