5 WWE legends that The Great Khali has defeated

#3 Shawn Michaels

Even HBK's sweet chin music couldn't stop The Great Khali.

There are not many names bigger than The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels. The WWE Hall of Famer has been in the ring with a long list of iconic WWE Superstars from the past, as well as many of today's top Superstars.

In May of 2007, Khali faced Shawn Michaels in a no disqualification match on Monday Night RAW. Shawn held his own, briefly, but at one point, HBK attempted to dive off of the top rope, onto Khali, but the Punjabi Nightmare countered with a mid-air chop to the top of the dome. From that point forward, The Great Khali had complete control of the remainder of the contest.

In the end, Khali planted Michaels with a devastating Punjabi Plunge through the announce table, which ultimately ended the match, giving Khali a huge win over a huge name.
