Later, he became the first Indian-born star to capture the World Heavyweight Championship and had a few matches with Batista before losing the title.After working with the Stamford-based promotion for a little over a decade, the veteran decided to shift his focus to different avenues. However, he always had a good relationship with the company. In 2021, he became a Hall of Famer, but never got to have a final match or a run in the promotion as a performer.Earlier this year, The Great Khali revealed that he would be interested in appearing in WWE, but he cannot return to the promotion on a full-time basis due to his other commitments. Moreover, he's open to making one-off appearances as a participant in the Royal Rumble match.
