AEW has announced that NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal will appear on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite. AEW's official twitter account confirmed on Monday that Shaq will address AEW fans in a segment with Tony Schiavone.

Shaq's involvement with AEW was first teased last month when the debuting Jade Cargill interrupted Cody Rhodes. Cargill mentioned that although Rhodes has called himself "a giant killer," there was "nothing giant" about him. Cargill said she happens to know a real giant and statements made by Cody are an echo loud enough to wake him up.

After Cargill revealed that the giant she was talking about was Shaq, Brandi Rhodes confronted her on the stage.

Shaq was backstage at AEW's Full Gear pay-per-view on November 7.

Shaq, a panelist on popular show Inside the NBA on TNT, sent a message to Cody back in August when he signed a new deal with TNT. "I'd love to fight Cody. Write it. Print it. Text it to him. Call AEW up and tell them," Shaq said at the time.
