The Great Khali in WWE.

On 2 January 2006, Singh became the f irstIndianprofessional wrestler to be signed to a contract byWorld

Wrestling Entertainment(WWE);[12]he was assigned to their developmental federation,Deep South

Wrestling,[1]where he wrestled under his real name.[2]

WithDaivarias hismanager, the unnamed Singh debuted on WWE television on the 7 April 2006 episode

ofSmackDown!, attackingThe Undertakerand leaving him defenceless during his match withMark Henry, and

thus causing ano-contestruling.[13]The next week he was introduced as The Great Khali. Daivari explained

that he now finally had a client that would destroy The Undertaker (afterMuhammed Hassanand Mark Henry

had previously failed).[14]Khali made his in-ring debut on the 21 April edition ofSmackDown!,

defeatingFunaki.[15]

On the 12 May edition ofSmackDown!, Khali wasJohn "Bradshaw" Layfield's hand-picked opponent

againstWorld Heavyweight ChampionRey Mysterio. Khali had a height advantage of 21 inches and a weight

advantage of 250 pounds, and defeated Mysterio in asquash match.[16]In his match against The Undertaker

atJudgment Day, Khali defeated The Undertaker with a kick to the head after receiving some illegal help from

Daivari.[17][18]Khali continued on a rampage for several weeks, winning handicap matches,[19]beating

superstars up in a display of power,[20][21][22]and mocking The Undertaker's signature pin and victory pose.[22]

Khali then challenged The Undertaker to aPunjabi Prison matchatThe Great American Bash.[23]However,

Khali was not medically cleared to compete in the match, and was instead replaced byBig Show, who would

end up losing to The Undertaker despite interference from Khali. After he was medically cleared, Khali would

Daivari and The Great Khali were moved to theECWbrand officially when they made their ECW debuts on the

31 October 2006 edition ofECW on Sci Fi. Daivari beat "The Reject"Shannon Moorein a very quick

match.[26]Daivari's original theme music was used as well as hisPersianrants on the microphone. Afterwards,

Moore was manhandled by The Great Khali.[26]Daivari continued his ECW winning streak over the next several

weeks with The Great Khali usually following up the contest with achokebombon Daivari's opponent.

AtDecember to Dismember, Daivari got a victory overTommy Dreamerfollowing aroll-up.[27]Dreamer then

chased Daivari backstage; The Great Khali appeared and caught Dreamer, planting him on the steel ramp with

a chokebomb.

Since 2007, Khali was accompanied by his translator and managerRanjin Singh.

On the 8 January episode ofRaw,Jonathan Coachmanannounced that Khali had signed with Raw (without his

manager Daivari), and would wrestleJohn Cenain the main event. Khali won by disqualification after Cena

took asteel chairheld byArmando Estradaand hit Khali with it. After the match, KhalichokeslammedCena to

the mat and left the ringside area, leaving Cena prone to an attack byUmaga.[28]

On the 19 February edition ofRaw, Khali demanded better competition after easily defeatingThe

Highlanders.[29]Four days later on SmackDown!, Khali interfered in aFalls Count AnywhereMoney In The

Bankqualifying match betweenKaneandKing Booker. Khali cost Kane the match,[30]leading to a feud which

would culminate with a match atWrestleMania 23. In his first appearance atWrestleMania, Khali defeated

7/11

General ManagerTheodore Longinformed Khali that he would be defending his World Heavyweight

Championship against both Rey Mysterio and Batista in a Triple Threat Match atUnforgiven, which Khali lost to

Batista after receiving a spinebuster.[43]Khali challenged Batista to a rematch in a Punjabi Prison Match atNo

Mercyin which Khali lost by failing to escape the Punjabi Prison before Batista.[44]

In late 2007 and early 2008, Khali was put in a program withFinlayusually trying to assaultHornswogglebut

with Finlay stopping him. Khali participated in aElimination Chambermatch atNo Way Out, which was won by

The Undertaker. AtWrestleMania XXIV, Khali participated in a twenty-four man battle royal in which the winner

would receive a title match against theECW ChampionChavo Guerrero later that evening. Kane won the battle

royal and went on to win the title. Khali then began a short feud with Big Show. The feud culminated with a

match atBacklashwhere Big Show emerged victorious.[45]

In July, Khali feuded withTriple Hover his WWE Championship. On the 25 July edition ofSmackDown!, Khali

won a battle royal also involving Big Show,Jeff Hardy,Mr. Kennedy, Umaga andMontel Vontavious Porter, to

earn the right to face Triple H atSummerSlam.[46]At the event, Khali lost to Triple H after receiving aPedigree.

Khali was given another opportunity to win the WWE Championship, when he faced Jeff Hardy to gain entry

into theChampionship ScrambleatUnforgiven. Triple H interfered in the Scramble qualification match, and

aided Jeff Hardy with a chair shot to Khali, helping Hardy win and eliminating Khali from title contention.

On 3 October, daredevilJohnny Knoxvilleaired a segment on www.jackassworld.cominterviewing Khali

with his translator. When Knoxville asked about Khali's "taliwacker" Khali was upset and threatened to tip the

interview table onto Knoxville.[47]

Khali later invited Knoxville to attend the 13 October episode ofRaw, where

Knoxville was attacked by Khali, WWE DivaBeth Phoenix, and Hornswoggle.

Khali grew to take on a more "fun" persona; he and Ranjin Singh began hosting the weekly "Khali Kiss Cam",

where Singh would summon ostensibly random women from the audience to kiss Khali.

The Great Khali feuded withDolph Ziggler, winning by disqualification after Ziggler attacked him with a steel

chair.[48]As a result, Khali began coming out to the ring during and after Ziggler's matches, in attempt to gain

revenge and to stop Ziggler from cheating.[49][50]Over the next few weeks, Khali lost to Ziggler by countout and

disqualification after Ziggler made it look like Khali hit him with a steel chair.[51][52]AtThe Bash, Khali lost to

Ziggler by pinfall, after Kane returned and attacked Khali.[53]It was later revealed that Ranjin Singh was Khali's

brother. The feud with Kane resulted in matches atSummerSlamandBreaking Point, both of which Khali

lost.[54][55]

Khali required knee surgery, so Kane "assaulted" Khali with the ring steps during a match so Khali could have

time off.[56]Whilst injured, Khali made a surprise appearance alongside Ranjin Singh,Ozzy Osbourneand his

wifeSharonon the 2 November edition ofRaw, as a judge for the "Raw's Got Talent" segment.[57][58]He made

his official return on the 14 December edition of Raw teaming with Kane andChristianto defeatWilliam

Regal,Ezekiel JacksonandVladimir Kozlov.

On the 2 April edition ofSmackDown, it was announced that Khali would be out of action for an undefined

amount of time as he needed to spend time with his family and regroup his thoughts back in India. However, on

the 19 April edition on Raw, he made an appearance by teaming up with special guest hostWill Forte(as his

character MacGruber) in a 2-on-1 handicap match against Vladimir Kozlov as "Khaluber" (Khali dressed as

MacGruber) which they won by intentional count-out.[59][60]

As part of the2010 WWE Supplemental Draft, Khali and Ranjin Singh were both drafted back to the Raw

brand.[61]After returning from his hiatus the previous month, Khali was announced by John Cena to be a part of

his team along withJohn Morrison,Chris Jericho,Edge,R-TruthandBret Hartto faceThe

NexusatSummerSlam. On the 9 August episode ofRawhowever, Khali was assaulted and injured by The

Nexus, thus removing him from the match. Following the attack, Khali then took another hiatus to compete

inBigg Boss, in which he was the runner up on. He made his return at the2011 Royal Rumblethough he was

eliminated shortly byMason Ryan. On the 14 March episode ofRaw, after Khali defeatedThe Mizby

disqualification, Miz would assault Khali with a steel chair, which resulted in Khali suffering an injury. Khali won

an interbrand dark match battle royal atWrestleMania XXVII.[62]

Various alliances (2011present)

On 26 April, Khali was drafted to back to SmackDownas part of the2011 Supplemental Draft. Khali returned

on the 29 April edition ofSmackDown, talking backstage withJinder Mahal, who made his WWE debut that

night. On the 2 May episode ofRaw, Khali dressed up as theTooth FairyatThe Rock's birthday party.

On the 6 May edition ofSmackDown, Mahal, unimpressed by how Khali and Ranjin Singh have been partaking

in childish activities instead of winning matches, confronted Singh about his mismanagement of Khali. Mahal

then interrupted a Khali Kiss Camsegment the following week, slapping Khali twice. On the 20 May edition

ofSmackDown, Mahal interrupted Khali's match againstJey Uso, which lead to Khali leaving the ring to

Brian Ong incident

On 28 May 2001, Brian Ong died after receiving aflapjackfrom Singh.[1]Ong had suffered a

previousconcussionduring the session, but thetrainersgave him a lower evaluation for not avoiding injuries

and told him to continue training. In addition, it was proven that Ong did not receive protective gear or

supervision byAll Pro Wrestling(APW) staff. This second concussion ultimately proved fatal for him. As Singh

inadvertently caused his death, Ong's family brought a lawsuit against APW.[1]APW was found liable for

recklessness after less than a day of deliberations, awarding the Ong family for damages of over $1.3 million.[1]
