WWE Legend John Cena is quite small compared to Shaquille O’Neal. However, that does not mean The Champ is any less strong than the NBA Legend. In fact, he might just be stronger!

A video showed John Cena and Shaq indulging in arm-wrestling. While Shaq dominated at intervals, Cena returned with more power every time!

There came a point when the host pointed out the table was about to break, and The Champ declared it to be a draw. It was the best decision for Shaquille O’Neal, considering he was struggling to defeat the man half his size!

While John Cena believes that O’Neal is the stronger between the two of them, Shaq has the exact opposite opinion. This just shows how much they admire each other and would not think twice before putting the other over.

Previously, Shaq and The Champ participated in Carpool Karaoke, and both of them had a blast during the entire time. Not only did they come up with nicknames for each other, but also headed off to a basketball court to see who is better!

Finally, John Cena has always been enthusiastic about Shaq’s capabilities in the squared circle. And as Shaq has been extremely successful on the basketball court, it barred him from showing the skills, he possibly had in pro wrestling.

Of course, the fans will not witness Cena and Shaq in the ring anytime soon. Even if this happens, neither of them is in their prime, so the impact will be significantly different.

Nevertheless, pro-wrestling fans have witnessed Shaquille O’Neal in the ring at both WWE and AEW. He went up against The Big Show at WWE and against Cody Rhodes and Velvet Sky at AEW!
