The Big Aristotle and the "World's Largest Athlete" are on a collision course for a battle of giants at WrestleMania 33 on April 2 in Orlando, Fla.

It's long been rumored that Basketball Hall of Famer and current TNT NBA analyst Shaquille O'Neal would step inside the squared circle for World Wrestling Entertainment at its biggest event of the year, going one-on-one with the 7-foot, 400-pound Big Show. The two have teased it on numerous occasions, even crossing paths at last year's ESPY Awards to help lay the groundwork.

O'Neal recently posted a video of himself getting himself into shape for a potential match on his Instagram account, also calling out the former WWE World Champion in the process.

The 15-time All-Star was a surprise participant in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32, which included a standoff with Big Show.
