Big Show is one of the most veteran athletes available in the pro wrestling world who’s worked in the business for over two decades. WWE didn’t find a way to utilize this seven-footer giant which led him to a shocking departure, earlier this year. Now, he’s been working in AEW for the past few months.
While his performance has been stellar as a commentator, Big Show has proven that he still has something to offer inside the squared circle. That being said, chances of seeing a dream match are still alive for the fans. NBA Legend Shaquille O’Neal made it clear that he wants a match against the veteran professional wrestler and it appears that things are gradually falling in place.

“I think with AEW we don’t have as much red tape. I mean, Shaq’s already competed in AEW. I think this is an opportunity for us to have that spectacle match and have some fun with it. Honestly, I think it’s closer to happening than it’s ever been,” Big Show stated.

During his WWE tenure, Shaq mostly appeared as a celebrity on TV, except for the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32, where he had a face-off for a few minutes with the World’s Largest Athlete for the first time. Following this face-off, WWE Universe heavily speculated that the company will sketch out creative plans to let this match, happen.
Originally, Big Show vs. Shaquille O’Neal matchup was scheduled to take place at WrestleMania 33 in 2017. The challenge was laid down by the wrestler to the NBA player in a face-to-face meeting on the red carpet of the 2016 ESPY Awards. But for some reason, the two heavyweights never had the opportunity to meet inside the squared circle, despite having the will.
