Like Lita says in the video linked above, Kavita Devi is the first and only Indian woman to have entered a WWE ring. While her background in weight lifting was highlighted during her Mae Young Classic introduction, it was not revealed that she is a student of The Great Khali too!
Khali runs an academy in Jalandhar in India that he has described as the biggest of its kind in the world - Continental Wrestling Entertainment (CWE). With 200-250 students in the academy learning the art of professional wrestling, The Great Khali is constantly training talent from India to prepare for the big leagues and possibly even the WWE!
Two of his other students - Satendar Dagar and Lovepreet Sangha have signed deals with WWE as well.
