On the January 31, 2023, episode of Powerrr, Kamille alongside her husband Thom Latimer were scheduled to face Psycho Love (Angelina Love and Fodder) in an intergender tag team match, however, Psycho Love ambushed Latimer and Kamille on the entrance way, leading to the match being cancelled.

[18] Kamille successfully defended her title against Natalia Markova on Night One of the NWA 75th Anniversary Show, but was defeated by Kenzie Paige on Night Two, ending her reign at 813 days.
