Superstar Spectacle 2023 was a major treat for the Indian fans as WWE brought live, fast-paced action for them after a gap of 6 long years. The non-televised house show that took place in Hyderabad, India had top Raw Superstars in attendance alongside WWE’s former franchise player John Cena, a name that garnered big attention from the fans.
Besides, the former world champion from India, The Great Khali was in attendance at Superstar Spectacle 2023. Rather than touting this as a return for the behemoth, it’s safe to say that it was a one-off appearance for him. He’s no more under contract with the WWE and the company only invited him back since he’s highly popular among the Indian fanbase.

The Great Khali was in attendance for Superstar Spectacle 2023
As seen on Superstar Spectacle 2023, The Great Khali was featured in a promo session and teased one more match. The released videos on the internet suggested that the seven-footer proceeded to challenge the undisputed WWE universal champion Roman Reigns to a match that could be his last encounter in the WWE.
Given the circumstances, that match is never happening as Khali is barely in shape for a full-length match in the ring while Reigns is on top of the world as the top-most champion in the WWE who’s been ruling the yard for over three years now. Apart from throwing the challenge to Reigns, Khali was also seen teaching Hindi to John Cena ahead of Superstar Spectacle 2023 and having some quality times with old buddy Natalya Neidhart.
The Great Khali’s last match in the WWE took place over 5 years ago, at the Greatest Royal Rumble 2018 premium live event in Saudi Arabia, where he entered the 50-man Royal Rumble match. He lasted in the match for about a minute, before being eliminated by Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley. Three years later, he was inserted into the WWE Hall of Fame club.
While the Indian audience got to see the popular superstar back on Superstar Spectacle 2023, he’s not coming back on WWE TV, anytime soon. In the main event of the Indian live event, John Cena and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins defeated Imperium (Ludwig Kaiser and Giovanni Vinci) in a tag team match. Also, Natalya performed in two matches in the absence of Becky Lynch.
