Former WWE NXT Women’s Champion Nearly Lost Ear in Recent Match

Indi Hartwell disclosed in a May 23 vlog entry that she had a close call during her recent match at TNA Under Siege, stating she nearly lost an ear. The incident occurred because she forgot to remove her earrings before participating in an eight-person tag team contest where she partnered with The Rascalz against Mustafa Ali’s Order Four.

Reflecting on the match backstage, which her team did not win, Hartwell shared the earring mishap. “Okay, guys. Match is done. We didn’t win. I forgot to take my earrings out and I almost lost an ear,” she stated in the vlog.

Following this revelation, Hartwell offered a motivational perspective on the loss. “Unfortunately, we didn’t win. But there’s no such thing as losing. Either you win or you learn. And also, it’s hard to lose when the heart won’t quit. Now, it’s time to get changed.”

Hartwell officially joined TNA Wrestling earlier in 2025, following her release from WWE. She made her TNA in-ring debut on the May 16 episode of Impact!, where she was victorious against Kelsey Heather, and has since been involved in various storyline segments, including interactions with Mustafa Ali and Tasha Steelz.
