Mandy Rose details her interaction with Shaquille O'Neal.
In December 2022, Mandy Rose's exciting run in NXT was brought to an end, as she was released from her contract by WWE. During this time, many performers and personalities from around the world of wrestling all supported Rose in a public fashion.
As it turns out, a NBA Hall Of Famer also reached out to Rose over direct message. While speaking to The I-95 Morning Show, Rose revealed that Shaquille O'Neal reached out to her after her release.
“Shaq. But it wasn’t creepy or anything, it was when I got released. Super cool guy, I’ve heard really great things about him. I think I met him in person like once. It was when I got released and the news articles and all of these crazy things are coming out. It was really sweet, he just messaged me and was like hang in there, you’re amazing, love you kid or something like you’ll be fine. It’s one of those things, he must of saw something and probably felt bad. That was really cool.”
Shaquille O'Neil has a bit of a history with the world of pro wrestling. In 2016, he competed in the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32. In 2021, O'Neil teamed with Jade Cargill to face Cody Rhodes and Red Velvet on an episode of AEW Dynamite.
