Unlike other wrestlers that WWE pushed, it is hard to see what they saw in Kozlov. Sure he was large, but he didn't have the best look or physique. He could barely cut a promo and would wrestle the worst match of the night almost every time. Despite all this Kozlov went on an undefeated streak and challenged for the WWE Championship on multiple occasions. He was even rumored to be The Undertaker's opponent for WrestleMania 25.

He was pinned for the first time by The Undertaker during the 2009 Elimination Chamber match. He lost his first singles match to Shawn Michaels. The match decided who would face Taker at WrestleMania 25.

Kozlov then got lost in the midcard and eventually became part of a comedy tag team with Santino Marella. He went on to win the WWE Tag Team Championship with Santino. He was released from the WWE on August 5th, 2011.
