WWE Signs First Indian & Middle Eastern Female Talent

– WWE has signed the first Indian and Middle Eastern female talent members to its roster. The company announced on Sunday morning that Kavita Devi and Shadia Bseiso have signed deals with the company. Devi is from India and trained under Great Khali, while Bseiso is Jordanian and attended the tryouts in Dubai earlier this year.

Bseiso commented on her signing, saying, “Female athletes are finally getting the credit they deserve. The world is more open to that, and in terms of how the region will react to it, I’m hoping its going to be very positive,” said Bseiso. Both Bseiso and Devi will head to Orlando to train at the Performance Center.

“Recruiting Shadia to join our developmental system underscores WWE’s ongoing commitment to building a talent roster as diverse as our fan base,” said Triple H. Jinder Mahal posted congratulations to Kevi on Twitter:
