Aussie Indi Hartwell Officially Joins TNA Wrestling and Scores Dominant Debut Win
Indi Hartwell has officially arrived in TNA Wrestling, and she’s already making waves in the Knockouts division.
After her release from WWE in November 2024, Hartwell hit the independent scene, racking up wins and titles in promotions like Renegades of Wrestling (ROW) and House of Glory (HOG). In March 2025, she won the ROW Women’s Championship and later captured the vacant HOG Women’s Title in early May. Rumors about her next move swirled, and on April 27, 2025, at TNA Rebellion, the rumors became reality.
During the Rebellion pay-per-view, Hartwell made a surprise appearance in the crowd, where Gia Miller officially introduced her to the TNA audience. Taking the mic, Hartwell declared, “This is a dream come true for me, honestly, and I wanna say, it’s officially official — Indi Hartwell has crossed the line!” confirming her signing with the company. Reports later revealed that Hartwell had signed with TNA about a month before her on-screen debut, as part of the company’s push to add fresh international talent to its roster.
Two weeks later, on the May 15 episode of TNA iMPACT!, Hartwell made her in-ring debut against Kelsey Heather. From the opening bell, she controlled the pace, hitting a series of powerful moves and giving Heather no chance to mount any offense. The match ended with Hartwell planting Heather with her signature Hurts Donut finisher to pick up the convincing victory.
After the match, Hartwell addressed the crowd, making it clear she wasn’t just there to fill a roster spot. “I’m not just here to be a Knockout,” she stated. “I’m here to be THE Knockout.” Before she could say much more, she was interrupted by Tasha Steelz and Mustafa Ali, teasing future conflicts and potential rivalries within the division.
With her signing official, a dominant debut win in the books, and her sights set firmly on the top of the Knockouts division, Indi Hartwell’s TNA era has officially begun — and it’s already must-see TV.
