Mercedes Mone continues to succeed in the ring and outside of it. She is also looking at potential talent that AEW could bring in for its women’s division.
Mone has fans speculating after she shared a recent photo with Indi Hartwell, who was released by WWE a month ago alongside Baron Corbin and Tegan Nox. Hartwell first signed with WWE in 2019 before making her TV debut in January 2020 on an episode of NXT.
While with WWE, she became NXT Women’s Tag Team and NXT Women’s Champion. She mostly found success as part of The Way with Candice LeRae, Johnny Gargano, and Austin Theory. Hartwell was called up to the main roster as part of the 2023 Draft to Raw and moved to SmackDown months later.
WWE released Hartwell and Nox from their deals. Now, Hartwell is waiting out her 90-day non-compete before she is allowed to sign with another promotion.
On Monday night, Mone shared a photo of a training session she had alongside Hartwell, which you can see below:
