She was very active in the AWA in late 1989 and throughout 1990 as part of the Team Challenge Series, wrestling in mixed tag team matches and in singles matches against Wendi Richter and Magnificent Mimi. She won the title the final time on December 6, 1989, when she defeated Judy Martin to determine the new Women's Champion after Richter vacated the belt.[1]
