Indi Hartwell Reveals Why TNA Was Always the Plan

In a new vlog posted on May 7, Hartwell cut to footage from the day before her big reveal, showing just how long shed been holding onto the secret.

Today is Sunday, April 27th, and tonight Im debuting for TNA at the Rebellion pay-per-view. Ignore the messy hotel room, but today is April 27th, and I am making my debut for TNA, she said, revealing that her TNA signing had been in the works for weeks.

But for Hartwell, this wasnt just a career move it was a full-circle moment. She shared how she first discovered TNA as a kid back in Australia. I actually remember the day or the night that I discovered TNA. I dont know how old I was, but I remember I was upstairs in my parents house and I was flicking through the channels I remember seeing something about wrestling on the TV guide. So I clicked it and I was like, Oh my god, like what is this? Cuz I didnt know that there was another company that existed, Hartwell said, reminiscing about her first glimpse of TNA.

Hartwells love for TNA didnt just stop at watching matches she was all in on the Knockouts division. If you watched one of the videos I did when I was back in Australia going through my childhood bedroom, you would know that I grew up a huge fan of TNA. I have a lot of TNA merchandise back in my room in Australia. And its really cool that Im going to be working for a company that I grew up watching, she said.

Now, after months of grinding on the indie circuit and keeping her next move under wraps, Hartwell is officially part of the Knockouts division. I was a huge TNA fan, a huge fan of the knockouts division, and now Im about to become a knockout, she declared, making it clear that her TNA debut wasnt just another contract it was a dream come true.
