Indi Hartwell explained on the Battleground podcast that winning the TNA Knockouts World Championship is the primary reason she re-signed with the company.
“That’s the whole reason why I’m there. That’s my main goal from the start. It’s been over a year since I’ve been at TNA. I haven’t achieved it. I’ve got the shelf ready to put the replica title back there. So yeah, I still haven’t achieved it, but it’s still the goal. That’s why I re-signed with TNA because I want to win the Knockouts World Title. I grew up watching TNA. I grew up watching the Knockouts. I remember at one point, watching it and being like, ‘I want to be a TNA Knockout.'”
She also spoke about what TNA has given her that she didn’t have in WWE. “Fans are finally getting to see me on my own. They’re basically seeing me grow as a singles competitor and as an individual because a lot of my NXT run, I was in a group or in a tag team or in a marriage. I never really got the chance to show me as just me.”
Hartwell was announced as re-signed on the May 14 episode of TNA iMPACT! on AMC by Director of Authority Santino Marella. She has been with TNA since May 2025.
