Former WWE star Indi Hartwell has joined the TNA roster, making her debut finally night’s TNA Revolt pay-per-view. An update from Fightful Select offers some additional details on her signing, including the undeniable fact that it has been within the works for a minimum of the past month, and was “finalized” around that point.
Moreover, the report teased that the corporate has more international signings that they have not yet announced.
In WWE, Hartwell was a former WWE NXT Women’s Champion and served as a member of The Way, an NXT faction that also included Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae, and Dexter Lumis. The group disbanded shortly after a storyline that saw Hartwell and Lumis get married onscreen. Though she then won the NXT Women’s Championship, Hartwell was forced to vacate the title after being injured. She moved as much as the essential roster in 2023 as an ally and tag team partner of LeRae, but despite a few shots on the tag titles, the pairing didn’t last.
Hartwell was released by WWE in November of last yr, ending her time with the promotion after about five years. She returned to the Australian independent scene last month following the conclusion of her 90-day non-compete agreement, after which appeared within the audience of last night’s show to interrupt the news of her signing with TNA.
Together with Hartwell’s appearance, Revolt featured Joe Hendry successfully defending the TNA World Championship in a three-way against Frankie Kazarian and WWE star Ethan Page. Ryan and Nic Nemeth also captured the TNA World Tag Team Championship from Matt and Jeff Hardy, amongst other matches.
