During the Inside The NBA show on TNT prior to Dynamite, Shaquille O’Neal issued the challenge to Cody Rhodes for a match in March. On Dynamite, Cody alongside Arn Anderson addressed Shaq and Jade Cargill’s respective challenges. Cody mentioned that he did not have anybody on his side for Jade because Brandi Rhodes is pregnant. Arn Anderson then brought out Red Velvet who has had several physical interactions with Jade.
