Will Paul Wight Big Show And Shaq Finally Have Their Match In Aew

Tonight’s AEW Dynamite will kick off with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal making his in-ring debut in a mixed-tag match alongside Jade Cargill against Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet. The show will also see Paul Wight, better known from his two decades in WWE as The Big Show, make his first appearance after signing with the company last week. Fans of either man will likely remember that both teased the idea of wrestling each other in a match for years, but the closest Shaq ever came to actually wrestling was competing in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal back at WrestleMania 32.

.@jimmyv3 asks about the Paul Wight/Shaq connection.

Cody: The timing of bringing both in at the same time is purely a coincidence.

.@bpritchard152 asks about Shaq’s claim about tonight’s being the best celebrity match ever.

Cody: If you’re showing up for a wrestling match you have to wrestle. And Shaq trained. If he’s the man we know, by all means, we can set a new standard. #AEW
