The Mark Henry feud segued into a feud with The Great Khali when the Punjabi giant destroyed Undertaker at the conclusion of his final Henry bout on Smackdown. Two loathsome feuds in a row, this wasn't a great time to be a Undertaker fan. Yet another giant, Khali was the most immobile man yet to be put up against Taker. The WWE clearly wanted to make a star out of the 'Indian Andre', so Taker shockingly lost to Khali at Judgement Day 2006. The feud went from bad to worse when Taker vs Khali was next scheduled to meet in a 'Punjabi Prison match'. This ridiculous contest would involve a bamboo cage, but in absolute folly, Khali ended up being unable to compete due to raised liver enzymes. Instead, Taker was lumbered with the Big Show inside the bamboo cage, beating him despite Khali interference. This continued the Khali feud for Taker toward SummerSlam, the Indian was fit again and scheduled for a last man standing match with Taker, but given the poorness of the feud, WWE instead opted to have the match on Smackdown and blew the feud off with an Undertaker win.
