NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal hosted his first-ever Shaq Bowl Event on Sunday, which featured celebrity competitions, musical performances and a football analysis as a lead-up to the SuperBowl LV. The Shaq Bowl also featured the participation of WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and fellow WWE RAW Star The Miz.
WWE Champion Drew McIntyre participated in the show as part of Team Tampa Bay with Winnie Harlow, Tim Tebow, Offset, Nelly and Anthony Anderson, while Monday Night RAW Superstar and Mr. Money In The Bank The Miz was part of Team Kansas City with Steve-O, Quavo, Olivia Culpo, Ezekiel Elliott and Diplo.
Right after the event, The Miz and McIntyre shared a bunch of pictures from the event on their social media accounts. McIntyre said that he had won over Shaq as his favorite wrestler. Drew McIntyre said, “Hell of a day at the #ShaqBowl. We let @MikeTheMiz take pictures with us to know what winning feels like. P.S- @Shaq told me I’m his favorite wrestler & how nice it was of me to let a fan get in on our picture.”
The Miz wrote on his Instagram, “What a day to be The Miz! Yours truly spent the day participating in the #ShaqBowl. I mean, when you want your Bowl to be awesome, who else do you call? But I wasn’t alone. See while I brought the awesome, @TimTebow brought the positivity, @Nelly – the country grammar, @SteveO brought another jackass with him in @dmcintyrewwe. @Diplo mixed it up (see what I did there) and we had #21 himself @EzekielElliott. Thx to @shaq for having me and to all who participated. I had a blast.”
The Shaq Bowl streamed on a number of digital platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and Twitter.
