Dwayne Johnson Issues 24-Hour Challenge to Kevin Hart After Viral Shaq Banter

At the UFC Hall of Fame induction event in Las Vegas, icons Shaquille O’Neal and Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson reunited in a notable moment. The towering former basketball player, standing at 7 feet 1 inch, and the 6-foot-4 wrestling superstar posed for photographs at the T-Mobile Arena on June 26, as Johnson assisted in honoring mixed martial artist Mark Kerr. Joined by Emily Blunt, Johnson’s co-star from “The Smashing Machine,” O’Neal delighted fans by sharing multiple images on his Instagram. With characteristic humor, The Rock lightheartedly referenced his close friend Kevin Hart in a playful comment, quipping about their size difference. The online reactions were equally entertaining; followers humorously noted the contrast between O’Neal and Johnson, speculating about Hart's size in relation to the two. Both O’Neal and Johnson’s diverse careers in wrestling and film have solidified their places in popular culture and fostered a genuine friendship.
