John Cena and Shaquille O’Neal Were Once the Wrong Match to Have a Joy Ride Together in a Very Small Smart Car

John Cena and Shaquille O’Neal once found themselves in a hilariously awkward situation while trying to squeeze into a diminutive car. The car obviously could not hold the magnitude of humanity in it due to both their enormous frames. John Cena is undoubtedly one of the biggest guys in WWE. And needless to say, Shaquille O’Neal has an imposing bodily appearance. The 7-footer is built like a tank. During an appearance on Carpool Karaoke, John and Shaq proved to be the wrong mix for a small car.  

But John Cena and Shaq are pals. NBA and WWE fans have watched several hilarious interactions between them. The duo is recognized for their decorated careers in sports and sports entertainment.

Shaq is a Lakers legend who has continued success through his business ventures. And John Cena is a future WWE Hall of Famer who has embarked on his journey to making it big in Hollywood. 

John Cena and Shaquille O’Neal hilariously struggle to squeeze into a very small car

In 2017, Apple TV invited John Cena and Shaquille O’Neal to their show, Carpool Karaoke. The two legends from their respective fields were set to have a joy ride and share pleasantries. However, the duo was first offered a diminutive car for the episode. While John Cena was positive that they could fit, Shaq had reservations about the idea. 

John Cena got in first and waited for Big Shamrock. Shaq reluctantly began to squeeze in. At some point, John Cena found himself facing the “moon” and said, “Ugh!”.

With great difficulty, Shaq managed to squeeze in. But the space was too limited for both men to even move a muscle. Finally, both agreed that it wasn’t a good idea and got out.

The episode saw the two legends sharing laughs, shooting hoops, singing Cena’s iconic “My Time is Now” song, and then some.

While making an appearance on NBC’s Today Show, John Cena promoted his new children’s book, Elbow Grease. Since Shaquille O’Neal was also in the show, the host called for an arm wrestling match between the two to determine who was stronger.

While John Cena is famous for his superhuman strength, Shaquille is a massive man. Both men were tenacious during the match. However, after a legitimate see-saw battle, the match ended in a draw. 

John Cena and Shaquille O’Neal have enormous respect for each other. None of their interactions go without the duo expressing their admiration for each other.
