On the June 11 edition of RAW, as part of the WWE Draft, Khali was drafted from Raw to SmackDown! as SmackDown's first draft pick.[29] He would soon enter a feud with Batista in July before The Great American Bash.[30] The two were scheduled for a match on PPV on Sunday, July 22, 2007. However, because Edge vacated the World Heavyweight Championship due to an injury, Khali won a 20-man Battle Royal for the title on the July 20 (taped on July 17) edition of SmackDown!, eliminating both Kane and Batista in one move.[31] Khali dominated and defeated both Batista and Kane that same week at "The Great American Bash".[32] Khali then debuted a new finisher called the "Khali Vice Grip" which he used to wear down Ric Flair, Batista and Kane. At SummerSlam he lost to Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship but was disqualified for the use of a chair, thereby retaining the title.[33] Khali then began a feud with Rey Mysterio after Mysterio won a "Championship Competition" making Mysterio the No. 1 contender. On the September 7 edition of Smackdown!, after Mysterio defeated Chavo Guerrero in an I Quit match, Khali applied his Vice Grip on Mysterio until Batista came to the rescue. After the assault, General Manager Theodore Long informed Khali that he would be defending his World Heavyweight Championship against both Rey Mysterio and Batista in a Triple Threat Match at Unforgiven, in which Khali lost after receiving a Spinebuster by Batista.Khali would then lose his rematch at No Mercy when he failed to escape the Punjabi Prison before Batista.
