WWE superstar the Big Show has got in phenomenal shape for his Wrestlemania 33 showdown with basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal and he has started teasing the NBA great.

And, more recently, Big Show offered him out at the ESPY awards where they were both on the red carpet for the star-studded event.

Shaq - who has been winding up the grappler on his social media account - also appeared as a competitor in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal where the two powerhouses collided.

The match is now signed and sealed for April 2, 2017 in Orlando where basketball and wrestling fans will be able to see two icons clash.

Back at WrestleMania 21 in 2005, Big Show faced Sumo Grand Champion Akebono Taro and was beaten by the Japanese giant.

And in 2008 he had his nose broken by Floyd Mayweather which helped set up their Wrestlemania 24 match.

The 7ft wrestler will now take on the 7ft 1in baller in what is being billed as the Biggest Match in history.

O’Neal has said: “Next time when I fight Big Show, I am going to bodyslam him over a table so there will be nothing to talk about. It’s going down.”

Big Show – real name Paul Donald Wight – has transformed his body in recent months as he looks to recapture his early status as one of wrestling’s biggest stars.

The 45-year-old has used his social media accounts to document his amazing gym work that appears to have shaved off loads of weight, leaving him looking ripped and ready to face his old rival.
