Hartwell was published by WWE in April 2024. Since then, this has been their first game in the USA. She returned to Australia last week, where she defeated Aysha on March 9 to win the Renegades of Wrestling women's championship in Victoria.

In an issue of her online magazine, Mone Mag, Mone said last month that House of Glory took a “special place” in her heart. The TBS champion often trained in the New York school with The Amazing Red, which it describes as “the best in business”. House of Glory was founded by Red in 2012 and bought by Master P in 2019.
