Tony Khan says he would love to get Shaq in the ring.
Shaq’s run with AEW was very brief, consisting of one appearance for the company but would not return to the promotion, that being said, Tony Khan would want to see the former basketball star back in the company.
While speaking to Sportico in a new interview, Tony Khan was asked about a dream signing to AEW, with Tony looking back on having Shaq in AEW.
“That’s a great question. Some of the players, the Jaguars and Fulham (players) over the years people have asked me about getting them in the ring. That’s a tremendous question. If I thought about it for a moment,
I think that if you look at the history of pro sports, pro boxing, there’s been some great pro boxers that have come into pro wrestling. There’s been some great MMA stars that have come in and done really well in pro wrestling. Of course, a lot of the top athletes that are crossover stars. For me, the best person we had, and I would love for him to come back anytime, would be Shaq. Shaq’s 1-0, but then he’s been away from AEW. He disappeared out of the ambulance in 2021, and we haven’t seen him since. So I would love to get Shaq back in the ring. He’s got to be one of the all-time greatest stars ever in basketball, and he’s undefeated in AEW.”
Elsewhere in the same interview, Tony Khan spoke about possibly bringing AEW to France and Germany in the future. You can read more about that here.
