Tony Khan Would Love To Have Shaq Back In AEW Any Time

All Elite Wrestling is no stranger to having various celebrities appear for its shows, including NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal , who Tony Khan says is always welcome back.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated , Khan mentioned O’Neal — who infamously wrestled for All Elite Wrestling in a mixed tag team match in 2021 — and said he’d love to have him back.

“I would love to have Shaq back in AEW any time he’s available,” said Khan. “He’s one of the greatest basketball players of all-time, and he’s extremely talented on-air in a number of roles. Shaq is also the greatest celebrity wrestler in wrestling history.

“But what people didn’t see is what happened backstage. When he wrestled in AEW, he went around backstage and showed respect to all the wrestlers. He told the wrestlers, ‘I want to make you look good.’ It was unbelievable. That’s the most recognizable athlete on the planet doing that.”

Khan joked that O’Neal is still undefeated and praised how he handled his brief moment with the company.

“We had Shaq and Sting in AEW at the same time, and both are still undefeated,” Khan said. “Shaq is first-class all the way. We’re very lucky to be under the same corporate umbrella on TNT, and we would love to welcome him back.”

The last time AEW fans saw Shaq, he was carted out in an ambulance after his debut match.
