This is Khali's first ever visit to UAE where he has thousands of fan following. The 7-foot-1, 347-pound skyscraper of a WWE Superstar was a tower over all of the WWE Universe. Khali who once was an officer at Punjab State Police always stood out from every crowd not only for his overwhelming size, but also for being the first to blaze a trail to WWE from his native India. Khali’s battle-ready mentality and intimidating presence combined to make him a unique threat to every member of the WWE roster. He had successfully stood tall against celebrated WWE Superstars including The Undertaker, Kane, Big Show, John Cena and Jinder Mahal. And he was the last man standing in a 20-Man Battle Royal on SmackDown in 2007 that allowed Khali to realize his dream of becoming World Heavyweight Champion.
