Former WWE NXT champion Indi Hartwell officially signs with top promotion

Send Push
Months after her WWE release, Indi Hartwell has finally made a major move and signed with a top wrestling company.

Indi Hartwell was one of the top prospects in the WWE for a long time. However, her main roster stint was nowhere close to the success she claimed in WWE NXT. This led to her release from the company in December 2024. Following that, Hartwell wrestled majorly on the independent circuit and for wrestling promotions in her home country. However, months after leaving the global juggernaut, Hartwell returned to the mainstream and signed with its partner company, TNA Wrestling .

Indi Hartwell became a major name to sign with TNA Wrestling
At the recent TNA Rebellion 2025 pay-per-view, Indi Hartwell was spotted sitting ringside for the show. In the final hour of the event, TNA interviewer Gia Miller came to her to make a huge announcement. She revealed that Indi Hartwell was the newest signee to the TNA Knockouts division.


The former WWE NXT Champion was overwhelmed with the applause of the fans upon the announcement. She said, "It's a dream come true for me, and I wanna say, it's officially official, Indi Hartwell has crossed the line." Indi Hartwell becoming a part of the Knockouts division could be a huge move to elevate the roster with her prime skills and acumen as an in-ring competitor.


Indi Hartwell had one of the most remarkable stints in WWE's developmental territory, NXT. She was a top fixture for the brand and even won the NXT Women's Championship at one point. This led to her call-up to the main roster, and she was assigned to the SmackDown brand. However, she was not utilized properly and given limited television time, leading to her popularity taking a huge hit.

In December 2024, Indi Hartwell was shockingly released from WWE. However, she had no hard feelings for the company and had praise for them for everything they gave her. Moreover, with WWE and TNA having a multi-year partnership agreement in place, Hartwell is back close to her old territory. With the Australian star starting a new journey as a Knockout, it will be interesting to see if she can replicate the same success she had in WWE NXT.
