AEW star Paul Wight seemingly accepts huge challenge from a dream opponent
Paul Wight has responded to NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal's recent comments about wanting to wrestle him next in AEW.
A match between the former Big Show and Shaq was teased on many occasions in WWE, but for more than one reason, it never materialized. However, now that Wight is in AEW and O'Neal is also eyeing an in-ring return to Tony Khan's promotion, the match could soon become a reality.
In a recent interview with PopCulture, Shaquille O'Neal revealed that he enjoyed his mixed tag team on AEW Dynamite a few months ago and is looking forward to returning to the ring. He also namedropped Paul Wight, saying that the WWE Legend has been talking trash lately and that he wanted to wrestle him soon.
Taking to Twitter, Wight issued a response to the NBA legend's comments. The WWE Legend said he's not too hard to find, implying that he's ready to face O'Neal anytime.
"I’m not hard to find," tweeted Paul Wight.
Paul Wight officially joined AEW in February 2021 as a broadcaster for their YouTube exclusive show, AEW Dark: Elevation, as well as an in-ring talent. However, he's yet to step into the squared circle in the promotion.
Fans will surely be delighted if AEW books Wight's debut match against O'Neal in front of a packed crowd at a major pay-per-view.
