She recently spoke to the Hindustan Times, and clarified her status with the company. She also spoke about India, which has a huge market of WWE and she revealed working on a new arrangement.
It seems she would be serving as an WWE Ambassador in India to look after the fresh talents and scout them.
She said:
“I’ve read some of those reports, and they aren’t accurate. 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 said.
“India continues to be a very important market for WWE with some of the most passionate fans in the world. I will still be involved as an ambassador for WWE in India. In the future that may mean I am involved in scouting new talent or with WWE Live events, anything is possible. There are incredible Indian talent at WWE and I will continue to champion them here at home – including Sanjana George, from Kottayam, who recently signed a developmental contract at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando.”
Devi had competed in the 2017 Mae Young Classic and lost to Dakota Kai in the first round. The bout has over 62 million views on YouTube.
