Kavita Devi is the first ever Indian female wrestler to represent India in WWE's first ever women tournament Mae Young Classic.

Kavita Devi, a champion powerlifter and student of The Great Khali, showed incredible strength facing the much more experienced Dakota Kai of New Zealand. Devi military press-slammed Kai, chucked her into the corner and smothered her with avalanches.

Kavita Devi wasted too much time between her attacks, however, and Kai avoided Kavita Devi's splash in the corner. Kai raced into Devi with a running big boot and trampled her with a double foot stomp from the top rope to snare the win. Kai advances to meet Australia's Rhea Ripley in a Trans-Tasman match in the Second Round.
