At WWE Great American Bash 2007, The Punjabi Goliath defended his newly-won WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a Triple-Threat Match. His challengers were Batista and Kane, who both looked to take the title off The Great Khali.

The match was decent and had many false finishes. At different stages of the bout, Kane and Batista teamed up against The Great Khali. They even slammed the gigantic monster on a table outside the ring.
