It's said that at one point in the past month a World Heavyweight Title match between Big Show and Mark Henry was discussed for the semi-main event at WrestleMania 28 but plans changed once O'Neal's interest turned into genuine talks with the WWE.

The Big Show and NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal is still expected to take place at WrestleMania 28. We heard reports recently that O'Neal had held talks with the WWE about making an appearance at the event. O€™Neal is known to be a big wrestling fan (he was special guest host of RAW some years ago) and has been contacted about working with the company at Mania before but a deal for this April€™s show appears to have been locked down some weeks ago. It's said that at one point in the past month a World Heavyweight Title match between Big Show and Mark Henry was discussed for the semi-main event at WrestleMania 28 but plans changed once O'Neal's interest turned into genuine talks with the WWE. The match between Show and O'Neal is expected to be a huge publicity machine for the WWE and internally they are hoping to somewhat emulate the Big Show vs. Floyd Mayweather match from a few WrestleMania's ago.
