10 WWE Videos You Didn’t Realise Were Huge Hits On YouTube
7. Dakota Kai Vs. Kavita Devi
In another entry that is somewhat Great Khali themed, there's a reason why this is the thumbnail for the list. Can you believe that this short two and a half minute clip from this first round match of the first Mae Young Classic has been viewed over fifty three million times? That is a full 19 Million more than the classic CM Punk vs. John Cena Full Match from SummerSlam 2011.
The reason this is Great Khali themed is because Devi was trained by the Punjabi Playboy. You can't half tell by the way she similarly moves clumsily around the ring. Dakota on the other hand is an outstanding performer and has begun carving out a nice niche for herself on NXT in recent times. The Kiwi tries her best to make Devi look like a million bucks here by selling her butt off, but Devi's inexperience still shined through. The most entertaining part of the short video is Devi completing a top rope arm drag, which Jim Ross on commentary hilariously somehow tries to convince us that it was "Right out of The Great Khali's playbook".
If you look in the comment section it reveals the reason behind the enormous view count. This being that many viewers were from Devi's home country of India, all tuning in to support their newest wrestling prospect. Despite the oddness, credit to the two women for being able to claim they sit in the top 50 viewed WWE clips of all time.
