Khali was just one of those pushes that should’ve never happened. As soon as he burst onto the scene, he was treated as this huge giant who was unstoppable attacking everyone and everything in sight. He ran havoc for over a year and even became the first Indian born World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history.

His destruction continued until he ran into John Cena. As we all know, a couple of losses(back then) to John Cena and your career is all over. The same thing happened to Khali. He lost a few matches against John Cena and soon after became WWE’s biggest jobber. He popped up a couple of times out of nowhere only to be used as a stepping stone.

WWE could not build up his character again, and people stopped seeing Khali as a threat. Later, he was released by the company which is a huge blessing.
