Kavita Devi was reported to be amongst the names released by WWE last month.. According to Devi herself, however, she is still with the company. She took part in an interview with the Hindustan Times recently and clarified her status with WWE.
According to Devi, she has not been released. Rather, she returned to India in January to care for a family member who contracted COVID-19.
“I’ve read some of those reports, and they aren’t accurate,” Devi said. “I have been back at home in India since January. My husband contracted Covid earlier this year and I needed to be here with my family, I chose not to go back to America. Everyone at WWE has been incredibly supportive, I am filled with gratitude for everything they have done for me.”
“I have also had an ACL injury for over a year and have been unable to perform in the ring but WWE still supported me through all of that. They understand that India is where I need to be. We are working together on a new arrangement that allows me to be home, but still part of the WWE Universe,” she continued.
News of her release was reported by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter last month. Devi signed with WWE in 2017 after winning gold in weightlifting at the South Asian Games in 2016. She made her pro-wrestling debut in a losing effort to Dakota Kai in the 1st round of the Mae Young Classic.
