NBA star and next week's WWE Raw guest host Shaquille O'Neal has a new reality show coming to ABC on Aug. 18. Filming for the show, which features Shaq taking on sports stars in their respective sports, starts Wednesday in Pittsburgh, Pa. with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Powell's POV: One can only assume Shaq will be promoting his new show during his Raw appearance. After all, WWE allowed Seth Green and ZZ Top to promote their projects. Although I haven't heard anything, it's possible that Shaq will even film a segment for the show while he's at Raw next week.

To follow up on what I wrote earlier, if Shaq can have friendly competitions with other athletes, then maybe he would be free to take part in a WWE match. By the way, there are already questions as to whether Roethlisberger will take part in the filming due to the recent sexual assault allegations made against him.
