A former WWE champion has teased returning to the Stamford-based company in a social media update. She was released from the wrestling promotion two months ago.
Indi Hartwell was among the three stars released by WWE heading into the Crown Jewel Premium Live Event. In a shocking turn of events, the global juggernaut announced the former NXT Women’s Champion’s exit from the company mere hours before her last match aired on television. In her final contest, taped on October 25, Hartwell teamed up with long-time partner Candice LeRae to face Bayley and Naomi. The 28-year-old was pinned by The Glow.
Earlier today, Indi Hartwell took to her Instagram account to tease her return to the wrestling promotion. The former member of The Way posted a mirror selfie. In the caption, she asked the fans if they missed her, possibly hinting at her return to the squared circle.
“Do you miss me?” she wrote.

Indi Hartwell opens up about her WWE release
Indi Hartwell spent five years in WWE before her abrupt exit from the company. During the 2024 Draft, Hartwell and her tag team partner, Candice LeRae, were assigned to the blue brand. Although the two could not replicate the kind of success they had in NXT, on the main roster, they had started to become a regular fixture on SmackDown, with LeRae becoming the inaugural WWE Speed Women’s Champion.
A week after her release, Indi Hartwell posted a video of herself talking about it. The former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion pointed out that it had been a weird week for her as the release was unexpected following her recent television appearances. Hartwell added she handled it very well and was looking at the bright side of things.
“A week ago today, I was released from my WWE contract, and it’s been a weird week of different feelings and emotions. It’s still pretty fresh, but honestly, I can say that I’m doing well, and I’m feeling good. Now, I’m sure a lot of people can say, ‘How didn’t you see this coming? You should have seen this coming.’ But honestly, the past few weeks, like maybe two or three weeks of being back on TV, I didn’t have that feeling at all, and I didn’t expect it. But, I took it like a champ. Honestly, the positive experiences that I had there and all my positive feelings, they outweigh any negative feelings. I am very much looking on the bright side of things. I love to keep perspective. So, that’s why I feel like I’ve been so positive about this and I hope that’s evident in the message that I put out on Instagram,” she said. [From 6:24 onwards]
