Big Show Seems To Think Shaq Is Pulling Out Of Their WrestleMania Match

Fans thought that Big Show vs. Shaquille O’Neil was a lock for WreslteMania 33. The two faced off last year and Shaq had some words for Show at the ESPY Awards. Word was going around that the match was a sure thing. Show has been preparing for the match by getting in the best shape of his life and hasn’t been shy at all about showing it off.

Now, Big Show is saying that Shaq is trying to pull out of the encounter in Orlando. We have previously reported that there were rumors that this match might have hit a snag, but now this new report from WWE.com looks like it is definitely in trouble.

The Big Show recently sat down with WWE.com to give a little more insight on what’s going on with this proposed WrestleMania match.

“I mean, here’s the thing. We shot this off at the ESPY Awards, Shaq said he’s in. I thought this would be a good match for fans to see two giants go at it. And I see Shaq riding around, singing karaoke and stopping in at Krispy Kreme. I’m like, ‘Hey! If you’re not gonna take it seriously, find something else to do!’ I’ve given 22 years of my blood, sweat, and tears to this business and I’m doing this favor to Shaq. This could be my last WrestleMania. He needs to step up. I’m not trying to be mean, but my time’s valuable. I get it. I don’t have foot powder commercials, car commercials, insurance commercials. I get it, he’s a busy man. But if he’s gonna step in the ring, in my business at our biggest event of the year? Show me you’re serious. If anything, talk a little trash. Let me know you’re motivated. Because right now? I just get the feeling he’s terrified. He shot his mouth off, he’s in over his head and he’s trying to back out. So just let me know what’s going on, brother.”

Honestly, after his last main event match against “The Monster Among Men” Braun Strowman, fans might be much happier seeing those two behemoths go at it once more.
