The Great Khali broke into the wrestling business in 2000, making his in-ring debut in for All Pro Wrestling. He signed a contract with WCW in 2001, but was let go after WWF purchased the promotion.
He spent the next few years wrestling for NJPW, CMLL, and AJPW. He signed with WWE in 2006, working for Deep South Wrestling. He worked in WWE until 2014, winning the World Heavyweight Championship.
After leaving WWE, he started a school in India, Continental Wrestling Entertainment, which he continues to run to this day.
Khali made one-off appearances for WWE in 2017, assisting Jinder Mahal in a Punjabi Prison Match against Randy Orton. He also made a brief appearance during The Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018, lasting 45 seconds in the match.
