When one talks about the oddest couples in WWE history, Natalya and The Great Khali have to be somewhere at the top. This angle kicked off in late 2012 when Natalya began a relationship with the Indian giant. She soon turned babyface and teamed up with Khali and Hornswoggle to take on Rosa Mendes, Primo, and Epico. The duo didn't do much of note for months on end, as Natalya appeared on Total Divas around the same time. The show gave birth to a bunch of feuds between the cast members.

Natalya and Khali then started a feud with Fandango and Summer Rae. Fandango had become a major name in WWE after scoring a big win over Chris Jericho at WrestleMania 29. His star soon fizzled out though. Fandango and Rae took on Natalya and The Great Khali at the WWE Hell in a Cell 2013 pay-per-view. The unusual couple failed to win the match, and this was it for their on-screen association. Natalya kicked off a feud with AJ Lee, and it didn't take long for the WWE Universe to forget that this romantic angle even existed.
