Following her release from WWE in October 2024, former NXT Women’s Champion Indi Hartwell may be on the brink of joining TNA Wrestling. The idea was pitched by TNA star and former WWE talent Steph De Lander, who has expressed support for Hartwell making the transition. Hartwell was released alongside several other notable talents, including Tegan Nox and Baron Corbin, as WWE continued its roster cuts. Now a free agent, Hartwell’s potential move to TNA could breathe new life into her career.

Steph De Lander on Why Hartwell Fits at TNA

Speaking on The Commentary Booth, De Lander described her own positive experience at TNA, where she feels creatively valued and supported. “I think TNA would be great for Indi,” she said, explaining that TNA’s open and collaborative environment might allow Hartwell to flourish. De Lander praised TNA’s culture, particularly the opportunity to exchange ideas with veteran bookers like Tommy Dreamer. “If Indi wants a place where she’ll be appreciated, I think TNA has that to offer,” she added.

A Fresh Start in TNA Wrestling?

Hartwell’s time in WWE saw moments of potential, but some fans feel she wasn’t fully utilized on TV. De Lander’s pitch for her friend to join TNA resonates with many who believe Hartwell would thrive in an environment known for creative freedom and character development. A move to TNA could provide her with opportunities to showcase her skills and perhaps even work her way into main event storylines, an opportunity that can be more accessible within TNA’s structure.

Fan Reactions and Speculations on Social Media

The wrestling community is buzzing with opinions on Hartwell’s future, with many fans eager to see her bring fresh energy to TNA. On platforms like Twitter and Reddit, fans are speculating about potential matchups and storylines for Hartwell in TNA, hoping she could bring her NXT experience to bolster TNA’s women’s division.

If Hartwell heads to TNA, she would join other WWE alumni in building a vibrant and competitive environment, reflecting the modern trend of wrestlers finding new success outside WWE.
