Indi Hartwell is making waves in TNA Wrestling, but keeping her in-ring name after her WWE release wasnt as difficult as it sounds.
During an appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Hartwell revealed how she managed to reclaim the name she sold to WWE.
Hartwell explained that WWE initially gave her the option to either change her name or sell it when NXT 2.0 launched. She chose to sell it, but the concern over losing her identity lingered. Now, after securing the rights, shes free to keep wrestling as Indi Hartwell, a name shes used since her days on the Australian indie circuit.
Since her WWE release in November 2024, Hartwell has signed with TNA Wrestling and joined the Knockouts division. She made her first appearance at Rebellion on April 27 and has her eyes set on Masha Slamovich and the Knockouts World Championship.
Ive always been a fan of TNA, Hartwell said. Shes also focusing on her YouTube channel, letting fans get to know her outside the ring through regular vlogs.
Indi Hartwell is wasting no time making her presence felt in TNA Wrestling, and with her name back in her hands, shes ready to take on the Knockouts division without looking back. Reclaiming her identity has given Hartwell a fresh start, and now shes focused on capturing gold and solidifying her place as one of TNAs rising stars.
