Shaq Goes Through A Table In First AEW Match

Shaquille O’Neal took a major table bump on this week’s AEW Dynamite in a mixed tag team match against Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet. Shaq’s partner, Jade Cargill, also made her official in-ring debut in the wrestling promotion.

AEW has been hyping Shaq’s debut match for a month now, and whether or not it lived up to the hype, the NBA icon was all-in about showing what he could do in the ring. He even landed some offense on Cody with a powerbomb in tribute to Mr. Brodie Lee.

He said the company’s experience with putting out Red Dead Online as a standalone release, apart from Red Dead Redemption 2, was a proof-of-concept. That gave Red Dead Online its biggest month since launch, and the people who get in using the online experience might upgrade to the full version too. He sees it as an opportunity to bring in a larger player base, which then helps feed long-term success.
