NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal made his debut in the AEW ring on Wednesday night, but he was unaware when he and Jad Cargill defeated Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet. Dynamite: the crossroads.
Shaq, 48, dominated Rhodes for the first half of the game, but ‘The American Nightmare’ took its revenge with a running cross light. The move sent both men out of the ring and crashed (and broke) against two tables.
Cargill finally won the mixed match for the two power stations with a Glam Slam. Meanwhile, O’Neal was still knocked out of the rubble by an AEW doctor who examined him.
O’Neal was placed on a stretcher during a commercial break and loaded onto an ambulance outside the amphitheater. However, when broadcaster Tony Schiavone opened the vehicle’s doors, Shaq was nowhere to be found.
