They’re done with basketball and deejaying. Now Shaquille O’Neal’s boys are campaigning for another one of his side-careers. After Shaq’s fun and somewhat hilarious wrestling career, mostly at AEW, his sons are making a much better bid to be recruited under WWE greats. This isn’t regular siblings roughhousing, it’s quality and entertainment and deserves to be noticed.

Seemingly inspired by Wrestlemania 40, as Myles shared a screengrab of their TV, Myles, Shareef, and Shaqir broke out their wrestling movies. While sharing that clip on his Instagram Stories of Shareef throwing him down and Shaqir body-slamming him into the bed (Myles is lucky Shaqir isn’t Big Diesel-sized), Myles gave a shoutout to WWE. “@wwe sign us up, we ready.” That also includes their friend who played a very convincing officiant. Also note the production quality with the massive ringlight.

Shareef corroborated their wrestling kick by resharing the same clip on his Stories with a loud, “FACTS.” Going by Shareef’s hair in this video, Myles dug up an old clip. He confirmed it by mentioning, “We had the quarantine WWE goin’ up.”

Upping the enticement for WWE, Shaqir also reshared the throwback. “Born ready @wwe,” he told the wrestling promotion after he watched the Iowa and South Carolina clash in the NCAA Tournament.

It’s clear that Myles got carried away by the theatrics of Wrestlemania 40, especially with Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, that he went through the recesses of his phone gallery to get the most convincing gem that will launch the O’Neal Boys wrestling collective. Shaq will either be proud or jealous.

The Big Aristotle is a diehard wrestling maniac himself. Like some other NBA stars, he’s delved into the business both in the ring and as a presenter on most occasions. Shaq was even one of the many fans taking the end of the Vince McMahon era at WWE to heart.

The 4x champion’s crossovers in the WWE biz have been epic each time. He served a jaw-dropping moment in 2016 when he slammed The Big Show into the floor on Wrestlemania 32. Shareef throwing Myles looks a lot like that scene.

Shaq’s carpooled in a tiny car with John Cena and has a longstanding friendship with Hulk Hogan too. Interestingly, the O’Neal Boys aren’t taking advantage of Shaq’s enviable connections to the wrestling industry to get a leg up in the ring. If they do get a WWE tryout, we’re expecting Big Diesel to crash the party.
