On Friday, May 9th, 2025, former WWE and current TNA superstar Indi Hartwell defeated Miyu Yamashita to become the new HOG Women’s Champion in front of a packed house in the Logan Square auditorium.

Commissioner Solomon announced earlier in the night that Megan Bayne, the current HOG Women’s Champion, was being stripped of her title for failing to defend it in 2025.

Bayne has had three title defenses since winning the championship on July 24th, 2024. With Bayne recently signing with All Elite Wrestling, it appears the star will be scaling back her indie dates.

This title win is Hartwell’s second championship since returning to the indie scene late last year. She is also currently the Renegades of Wrestling Women’s Champion. A title she won back in March.
