De Lander captured the title in March 2026 by defeating Indi Hartwell and J-Rod at Awesome Championship Wrestling after returning from a two-year neck injury layoff.
Her comeback was inspired by advice from WWE star Matt Cardona, prompting her to enter the ACW event. De Lander will team with Hartwell against Lady Frost and Vicious Vicki at ACW Reckoning on May 16 in Poughkeepsie.
