The Renegades of Wrestling Women's Champion INDI HARTWELL returns to Essendon as part of the UPRISING on Saturday February 28th! For the first time in eight years, former WWE superstar, current TNA superstar, and the current reigning and defending Renegades of Wrestling Women's Champion INDI HARTWELL will compete in Essendon on February 28th, as she takes part in the UPRISING at the Renegades Arena (aka the Ukrainian House) on Russell St in Essendon. She will be facing both the former champion Aysha, as well as 'The Star' of Australian wrestling, Tarlee, in a massive TRIPLE THREAT MATCH! Hartwell ended the record breaking title reign of Aysha in March last year, and we've seen a colder, more arrogant edge from the 'Impressive' one since then, alienating the entirety of the locker room in the process. But could her time at the top be about to end at one of the venues where her journey began? With a stellar undercard taking place, including the Bastard Brothers defending the Renegades Tag Team Championships, you can bet that this will be a night of action and entertainment that only the Renegades can provide!
