New Delhi, Sep 5 (IBNS): Indian wrestler from Haryana, Kavita Devi, surprised her fans and spectators but this time not with her performance but costume.

Kavita came out to wrestle with New Zealand's Dakota Kai wearing a salwar kameez, tying a dupatta around her waist in August.

A video shared by the official WWE YouTube channel on Aug 31 has drawn three million viewership.

However, Kavita could not manage to win the match.

Twitter users, on the other hand, went crazy seeing the video.

Kavita Devi seems like a nice person. I anticipate Vince will have her show up on SD as Jinder's story-line wife or something Yes I am jaded
