Shaquille O’Neal Makes Surprise Visit to WrestleMania — and Kills It

NBA star Shaquille O'Neal surprised WrestleMania viewers when he made a surprise appearance at the Andre the Giant Battle Royal Sunday night. The 7-foot-1-inch celebrity former basketball player walked out to “Panda” by Desiigner while wearing his signature Shaqnosis Reeboks.

To the crowd's delight, the surprise entrant stood his ground, delivering a joint chokeslam to pro wrestler Kan with Big Show. Next, everyone cleared the ring, leaving Shaq and Big Show.

The two went straight for each other’s throats and engaged in a mini-brawl that lasted a few seconds before the rest of the wrestlers in the match threw them out of the ring.

However brief, The Big Aristotle’s appearance left a significant impression on viewers:

Yes, that was Shaq at #WrestleMania and yes, it was funny as hell https://t.co/07bPOmFDIw pic.twitter.com/gsgNdhr859
