Former NXT Women’s Champion Has A Punjabi Prison Match On Her Bucket List

Indi Hartwell says her wrestling bucket list has one of the most infamous matches on it.

Hartwell recently spoke with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard about the ongoing NXT/TNA partnership. While she has largely stayed out of the chaos leading up to ‘Showdown,†she did guest referee a Knockouts title match at TNA Victory Road featuring NXTâ€s Kelani Jordan.

Indi Hartwell said that she enjoyed her guest referee spot, calling it a bucket-list moment. When asked what else would be on her wrestling bucket list, Hartwell shared a surprising answer.

“Well, something that Iâ€ve already done is the wedding, which is like a huge part of my career. Some wrestlers win titles, but not everyone gets to have a wrestling wedding,†Indi Hartwell explained. “So, I think that should be a bucket list item that a lot of wrestlers should have.

“I got to knock off being on commentary at TNA because I was never a special guest commentator at NXT or WWE that I can remember,†she added. “So, I got to do that. Thereâ€s a lot of, like, stipulation matches too that I havenâ€t gotten to have. Punjabi Prison, thatâ€s my top.â€

What is a Punjabi Prison match?

The Punjabi Prison match is similar to a steel cage match. It features two cage-like structures made of bamboo, and the goal is to escape them both. The winner has to escape the inner cage, then climb the second cage before their opponent. Escaping the cage is the only way to win, as there are no pinfalls or submissions.

WWE has sanctioned three Punjabi Prison matches in the companyâ€s history. The first one took place at Great American Bash 2006 between The Undertaker and Big Show, while the second was between Batista and The Great Khali at No Mercy 2007. The match concept was shelved for nearly a decade, but returned at Battleground 2017 when Jinder Mahal faced off with Randy Orton for the WWE Championship.
