A big NBA star to host WWE Raw next week

Shaquille O'Neal will be the special host of next week's WWE Raw in Washington, D.C. Shaq has made numerous appearances at WWE and WCW events over the years. He's a big fan of the product, and his name is back in the news to some extent following his recent trade to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Powell's POV: Get ready for tame Kobe Bryant jokes. Man, those jokes would have been vicious in the Attitude Era. Plus, WWE is too tight with Staples Center management to go after Kobe too hard.
