Indi Hartwell may not have walked away with a win at TNA Under Siege, but she definitely walked away with a story—and almost without an ear.

In a post-match segment from her May 23 vlog, Hartwell reflected on teaming with The Rascalz in an eight-person tag match against Mustafa Ali’s Order Four. The match ended in a loss, but Indi took it in stride, mixing humor and motivation while speaking to the camera backstage.

Her opening line was pure Indi—dry, funny, and slightly chaotic.

“Okay, guys. Match is done. We didn’t win. I forgot to take my earrings out and I almost lost an ear.”

She followed the joke with a positive message, showing her signature resilience even after a tough 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’s quick shift from nearly slicing her ear off to dropping a motivational quote is exactly the kind of post-match energy fans love her for. While some wrestlers dwell on the L, Indi makes it part of the story—and keeps it real.

Only Indi Hartwell could nearly lose an ear and turn it into a motivational moment. Win or lose, she’s still cracking jokes, dropping quotes, and keeping fans locked in—which might explain why people can’t stop watching, even when she’s limping out of the ring with earrings still in.
