Kavita Devi Facts

Kavita Devi became the first female Wrestler from India to compete in the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) ring.

After graduation, she joined the weight-lifting academy to become a professional weightlifter.

Kavita represented India in the 2016 South Asian Games and placed Gold Medal in the 75KG weightlifting category.

Around that time, she joined Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), a border guarding force under the Government of India. She was posted as a constable and retired as a Sun-Inspector.

Kavita opted out of SSB in 2010 and returned to weightlifting to pursue her career.

She is also trained in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).

In 2016, Kavita Devi joined the Continental Wrestling Entertainment (CEW) Academy, which is owned and managed by the former World Heavyweight Champion, The Great Khali.

He was instrumental in training her as a professional wrestler. She represents the academy under the name “Hard KD” and participated in several tournaments, including the WWE Mae Young Classic in 2017.

Kavita Devi was once challenged for an open match by a fellow CWE Superstar BB Bulbul (India’s first female professional wrestler) where she took her wearing the traditional Salwar Kameez.

In August 2017, a video of her went viral garnering more than 4 million YouTube views. Kavita Devi took on New Zealand’s Dakota Kai, wearing a Salwar-Kameez with dupatta tied across her waist, but she eventually lost the match.

Kavita Devi received an offer from the makers of Bigg Boss, the Indian version of Big Brother, but she apparently rejected the offer due to her dislike of the show’s format.
