The former NXT Women’s Champion secures gold in her return to the ring
Summary
– Indi Hartwell won the Renegades of Wrestling Women’s Championship in Australia
– She defeated Aysha in her first match since leaving WWE
– Hartwell will compete next in the U.S. at House of Glory’s Dreamz event in New York City
Indi Hartwell returned to the ring this weekend, capturing the Renegades of Wrestling Women’s Championship in her first match since being released by WWE in November. Competing in Melbourne, Australia, Hartwell defeated Aysha to win the title, marking a major milestone in her post-WWE career.
Before the match, Hartwell reflected on her opponent, acknowledging Aysha’s rising presence in Australian wrestling. “She’s very prominent in the Australian wrestling scene, and she’s a Melbourne girl like me. I see a lot of myself in her,” Hartwell shared, noting how Aysha filled the role she left behind when she moved to the United States.
Aysha has honed her craft at PCW Academy in Australia and Flatbacks Wrestling School in Florida, where she trained under Tyler Breeze and Shawn Spears. Despite her efforts, Hartwell won, proving she hasn’t missed a step since her WWE departure.
Now a free agent, Hartwell will wrestle her first U.S. match post-WWE at House of Glory’s Dreamz event in Jamaica, Queens, New York City. The event, set to feature Mercedes Moné, could mark another defining moment in her journey.
In a recent interview with MCW Backstage Pass, Hartwell discussed what she values in her next promotion, citing professionalism and strong production quality as key factors in her decision. As she weighs her options, her return to championship form signals that she remains a major player in women’s wrestling.
