For the first time in more than four years, former WWE Divas Champion Kaitlyn will compete in a WWE ring when she faces powerful NXT Superstar Kavita Devi in the First Round.
Kaitlyn, who took a hiatus from sports-entertainment in 2014 to launch her own business, has said that she’s coming back to WWE stronger, smarter and more well-rounded than before. That’s a telling statement considering her previous success, which included a six-month reign as Divas Champion in 2013.
While Kaitlyn famously outmuscled challengers during her time atop the Women’s division, that strategy could run into trouble against Devi. A powerhouse in her own right, Devi won powerlifting competitions before becoming the first Indian woman to wrestle in WWE. Kaitlyn might be planning on a triumphant return, but does the surging NXT Superstar — who no doubt feels the pressure of representing her home country — hold the key to spoiling her comeback?
