10 ALMOST Impossible Wrestling Comebacks That Might Actually Happen
9. The Great Khali
An already-limited career reached it's final end in November 2014, when The Great Khali elected not to re-sign with WWE after a relatively impressive eight years with the organisation.
A folk hero in his native India, Khali was a household name following a stint working for Vince McMahon that saw him go from pinning The Undertaker with one foot and scooping the World Heavyweight Title to working comedy matches with Hornswoggle and Santino Marella.
Running the gamut of WWE's highs and lows, he was at various times paired with Daivari, Ranjin Singh and eventually Jinder Mahal as Vince McMahon's penchant for profiling reared it's ugly head. Limply addressed in storylines at the time, it was revealed that Khali and Mahal were actually brothers-in-law until the writers lost interest both the performers and the arc itself a few weeks later.
The SmackDown Live! creative team clearly felt little for the angle too, with Mahal referring to Khali as his 'hero' when crediting him with the invention of the Punjabi Prison that will play host to his final fight with Randy Orton in the main event of next month's Battleground pay-per-view.
