One of the matches rumored for Wrestlemania 33 is the Big Show vs former NBA star: Shaquille O’Neil. The two got into it at the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal last year, along with the 2016 ESPY Awards. They both have been taking shots at one another as they get into shape for the match.

The Big Show made headlines over the weekend when he was interviewed by WWE.com. Big Show made it seem like the match against Shaq wasn’t happening and questioned the dedication of his rumored opponent.
Shaq gave his side of the story on his podcast: The Big Podcast With Shaq. He was asked about the match not happening and he says that it isn’t his fault:. Sounds like WWE management might have made the call to nix it from this years card:
“That’s probably right. It’s not my fault. That’s all you need to know. It ain’t my fault. Oh, it ain’t my fault. It [doesn’t] matter what they say. I’m just letting you know. It has nothing to do with The Diesel and his management. That’s all I’ve got to say. But, but, but, it’s not totally off yet. But it’s not looking good. But it doesn’t matter. I’m still working out. I still look way better than Big Show and I’ll still meet him anywhere he wants to meet”

Shaq says that he will still be training like the match is taking place:
“These next 30 days, I’m about to go hard, so I’m still doing it like it’s going down. I actually start two-a-days on March 1st. Then, it’s going down. I’m going on vacation from March 2nd to the 7th. And then, from the 8th to like the 29th, two-a-days, sometimes three-a-days. It’s going down, Big Show. Just saying, it ain’t me, America.”
