Comparable to wrestlers who can survive the following attacks), possibly Small Building level (Comparable to the likes of Big Show, who survived going through a steel panel), higher with Khali Bomb and Khali Vise Grip (Finishing moves in wrestling tend to do more damage than normal moves, with the Khali Bomb he destroyed the announcement table with Shawn Michaels, and with the Khali Vise Grip he can exert up to thousands of pounds of pressure, having easily crushed a cantaloupe and a watermelon with his bare hands, popped a basketball and infamously squeezed Rey Mysterio's head until the latter was bleeding from the mouth)
Speed: Average Human with Athletic Human combat speed (Defeated Rey Mysterio in less than five minutes on SmackDown in 2006)

Striking Strength: Wall level, possibly Small Building level (His hits have been compared to that of sledgehammers and his devastating overhead chops have been compared to that of axes or a ceiling fan, can lift the Big Show off his feet with a clothesline)
Durability: Wall level, possibly Small Building level (One of the Undertaker's punches barely moved him, the Big Show's headbutt had little effect on him, compared to a brick wall after Rey Mysterio failed to drop kick him off the top rope, chokeslammed John Cena after the latter hit him with a steel chair at WWE Raw on January 8, 2007, survived Cena throwing him off a crane bed with his Attitude Adjustment at WWE One Night Stand on June 3, 2007)
