JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – One of the biggest names in sports is heading to Jacksonville to compete Wednesday in a professional wrestling match.
Shaquille O’Neal is slated to compete in a match for All Elite Wrestling (AEW) at Daily’s Place where the wrestling promotion tapes Dynamite, its weekly wrestling show that airs on TNT on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on TNT.
O’Neal will be starring in what’s called a mixed tag team match, or a match when there’s a man and woman on each team.
Jim Ross, the lead commentator for AEW, said the organization expects to see media from across the country descend on Daily’s Place for Wednesday’s match to watch Shaq wrestle.
But she’s a wrestling fan, which is great.”And O’Neal isn’t the only high-profile celebrity AEW has attracted to Jacksonville in recent months.
