The video has received mixed reactions from fans who were not only stunned by his power but questioned about how WWE booked him during his run in the company. 

Great Khali's WWE Career

Khali had a sensational run in WWE since he joined back in 2006. He fought and defeated the likes of the Undertaker, Edge, and even Rey Mysterio. The Punjabi wrestler is one of the most feared wrestlers in WWE history. The company introduced a new match stipulation exclusively for Khali called the 'Punjabi Prison Match.'

At WWE Judgment Day 2006, Khali beat the Undertaker in less than 10 minutes and stunned everyone. In 2008 he has crowned the World Heavyweight Champion after Edge vacated the title. However, he later lost the title to Batista at Unforgiven 2007 in a Punjabi Prison match. Because of such impressive appearances in the company, he was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2021. The 48-year-old's last appearance came in the Greatest Royal Rumble match in 2018. Beyond the ring, The Great Khali has served as a valuable WWE ambassador in India, where he remains a big star despite his sporadic appearances this decade. 

Post WWE, Khali became a naturalised U.S. citizen on 20 February 2014 and has since entered films and television. He starred in films like "MacGruber," "Get Smart" and "The Longest Yard" and was a contestant on the Indian reality, show Bigg Boss in 2011.
