This week's guest host is the fifteen-time NBA All-Star, and recognized as the Most Dominate NBA Player of all time, Shaquille O'Neal.Shaq, immediately feeling comfortable in the squared-circle, announced a "Beat the Clock Challenge" to determine Randy Orton's opponent at Summerslam. The rules for Beat the Clock are simple: Each competitor will have timed matches, and who ever gets the best time will go on to face the WWE Champion. The five competitors are as follows: Triple H, MVP, Jack Swagger, Mark Henry, and John Cena.
Yet, it wouldn't be long until Shaq would be interrupted by One-Half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, Chris Jericho. Jericho is a class act and not afraid of anyone as he stood face to chest of the 7'1" NBA All-Star.
"When I heard that the Most Dominate Player in NBA History was hosting RAW, I automatically assumed it was Kobi Bryant" - Chris Jericho
Shaq, in retrospect to an accurate accusation, called him Christina and kissed him on the forehead. Two reactions to this encounter: Either Shaq really loves Chris Jericho; or he's under the impression that the WWE is a Looney Toons Production.
As the action heated up in the ring - aggressively, not romantically - the other half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, The Big Show decided to pay Shaq a visit. One thing you have to respect about Chris Jericho, he may be arrogant, but anyone affliated with him will dress like a champion - as Big Show came out sporting a nice three-piece suit. Shaq humored the WWE Universe by challenging the Big Show to a match - Shaq may have the height, but he cannot go toe-to-toe with the colossal strength of The Big Show. However, Shaq, believing he's gotten the better of the two, issued a main event match: Cryme Tyme versus the Unified Tag Team Champions (Non-Title) with Shaquille O'Neal as the Special Enforcer.In an interview conducted by Michael Cole, Shaq mentioned that he and Hornswoggle went to high school together, and that Honswoggle's always been hyper. - For some reason I just found this funny. Then after Hornswoggle made a mini-slam dunk, Michael Cole ruins it by saying that was, "Shaq-a-licious." If that wasn't bad enough, Cole had the nerve to show his face in the announcing table after making such a fool of himself.
Shaq was then seen playing scrabble with "The Italian Stallion" - Nope... it's just Santino Marella. Shaq appeared rather calm, seeing as he'll be the enforcer for a tag team match that included the Largest Athlete in the World along with the Best in the World at what he does.
The segment continued with a visit from Cryme Tyme, insuring that they would win because they do what they have to do, because its all about championships, looking good, and that Money-Money - Shaq adds in - Yeah-Yeah! Until Santion Marella, taking over the job of Jesse, or Slam Master J, this show, starts rapping - such a mood killer, but funny.
The main event match was nothing short but zero purpose for Shaq being the enforcer. He enforced nothing! He blatantly interferred with the match by pulling JTG's leg over to Shad for the tag - the ref should've called on it, but who really wants to mess with a 7ft basketball player?
It wasn't until The Big Show disqualified himself after refusing to leave the ring, untagged. He delivered punishment to Cryme Tyme and called Shaq out.
Shaq ripped his WWE Ref shirt and got into the ring - very Hulk Hogan of him.
This week was alot better that last. Shaquille O'Neal as the host actually scheduled matches and came out into the ring - unlike ZZ Top who recorded segments for the whole show and came out onto the ramp for a whole two minutes. Shaq is an intimedating guy, unlike the hilariously small sized Seth Green who threw himself into a match alongside Triple H and John Cena against Legacy. Shaq did a good job and I wouldn't mind seeing either him or Seth Green host again in the future.

The two stood face to face - as Big Show went for the chokeslam, people started to get worried - But out of nowhere, Shaq goes for the chokeslam as well. These two giants test each others strengths seeing which one would give out, which one would dominate - until Cryme Tyme ruined the moment and started attacking Show. Then Shaq delievered a clotheline which sent Big Show out of the ring.
And for some reason Shaq ran up the ramp after them - but the broadcast cut after that.
