Shaq challenges AEW's Cody Rhodes to match
Shaquille O'Neal is ready to take on Cody Rhodes inside the All Elite Wrestling ring.
The NBA Hall of Famer issued a challenge to Rhodes during Wednesday night's episode of AEW Dynamite, suggesting they square off at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view in March.

In his response, Rhodes said he's prepared to pitch a tag-team match with himself and wife Brandi Rhodes taking on O'Neal and Jade Cargill. That won't be possible since Brandi is pregnant, but Red Velvet is prepared to step in for her.
.@Thee_Red_Velvet is HERE and has laid down the challenge. @SHAQ, @Jade_Cargill - The ball is in your court.
