We are told by WWE sources that Khali's contract with the company has expired and the company chose not to sign him to a new deal.
Khali, 42, had been with the company since January 2006 when he was signed to a developmental deal. During his run, he was pushed hard on the Smackdown brand as a monster to feud with The Undertaker and won the World title in July 2007, winning a Battle Royal to fill a vacancy when Edge was injured and forced to forfeit the belt.
