Indi Hartwells TNA debut turned heads at Rebellion 2025, but it turns out her move to the Knockouts division was in the works way longer than fans realized.
During the final hour of Rebellion, cameras cut to ringside for a major announcement Indi Hartwell is officially part of TNA. The crowd inside the Galen Center erupted, but behind the scenes, this deal had been locked down for a while.
According to Fightful Select, Hartwell was in the process of being signed as far back as a full month ago, and it was finalized around that time. The outlet also noted that Hartwells signing was one of several international deals TNA had quietly lined up earlier in the year.
Hartwells arrival comes after months of grinding it out on the independent scene following her WWE release. From wrestling Mercedes Mon to training with top names, Indi kept herself busy and clearly had her next move mapped out. Instead of waiting for another WWE call or looking at AEW, Hartwell jumped on the opportunity with TNA and made it official long before fans saw it play out on TV.
TNA also announced that Hartwell will speak for the first time as a TNA star on the May 1st episode of iMPACT! Live. With names like Masha Slamovich, Tessa Blanchard, and Ash by Elegance already throwing down, Hartwell stepping into the Knockouts division could completely shake things up.
Rebellion 2025 was packed with big moments from Joe Hendrys brutal title defense to the Hardy Boys keeping their tag gold but Indi Hartwell signing with TNA might end up being the biggest move of the night!
