Indi Hartwell is one of the most promising superstars in professional wrestling. Fans thought that she would be a major player for WWE’s women’s division in the future. However, it appears that this is not going to be the case.
According to Fightful Select, Hartwell will soon be departing WWE. Within the next 90 days, she will become a free agent and have the freedom to sign with other wrestling promotions. The Australian herself re-posted a tweet announcing this news and seemed shocked by it.
Alongside Hartwell, WWE has also decided to release Tegan Nox and Baron Corbin from the company. The former King of the Ring winner thanked his fans for their support, and the Welsh wrestler talked about how some things aren’t under one’s control. She had previously complained about not even being booked in the Women’s Speed tournament, stating that she was a deserter waiting for her 90-day non-compete clause to end.
