#4 Khali becomes World Heavyweight Champion - Smackdown, July 20th, 2007 (43,546,634 views at time of writing)
It’s The Great Khali again, who’d have thought he was such a draw?!
In July 2007, Edge had to relinquish his World Championship due to a pectoral muscle injury. The new champion was to be crowned in a 20-man battle royal for the title, which was ultimately won by Khali after he eliminated both Batista and Kane simultaneously to become the last remaining man in the match and therefore the winner.
The amount of views on this video does show the amount of attention WWE get from having a surprising champion, and is similar to the current Jinder Mahal saga that has got the entire wrestling world talking.
