- Michaels formed a stable with Richards, Craig Anderson, and possibly Julio Zapien. On December 20, 2012, Michaels and Zapien attacked both Alex West and Jeff Palmer, and then during Richards' match against Kevin Norton, the Militia runs down to the ring and attacks Norton, before the foursome was blindsided by Preston Scott. December 25th Michaels and Zapien faced West and Palmer with a victorious effort, mostly on Michaels' behalf. The following week she accomplished her first goal in OWA and aquired the OWA Intercontinental Championship.
- On the first Fusion of the new year Militia contiued their attack on the OWA roster by helping Anderson attack Chuck Jones, and due to Trip Johnson leaving the federation, Richards declared that Jordan Ryan be put in a handicap match with himself and Michaels, to a winning effort on Militia's part. On January 18th, 2013 Jade lost to Craig Anderson in the pot of gold match at OWA All or Nothing (2013), due to getting hit in the head by an unknown assailant. Following an attack at the hands of Richards, Jade was forced to relinquish the Intercontinental title and take a break to heal her injuries.

- Michaels debuted in the federation's first pay-per-view DWF Dawning. Where she eliminated Dave Watson, Craig Anderson , and with the help of Zack Richards and Alex Sanders took out Joey Tierney and Daniel Kennedy. But ultimately due to her own cockiness was eliminated by Alex West.
- On the first ever DWF Collision Michaels faced Sanders for the Deathlock Championship, but before the match she had an ultercation with Andželika Bērziņš the new general manager of DWF, which she would have a match against her if she won the championship which she did. At the beginning of the Febuary 5th 2013 episode of Collision Michaels pinned a fallen Anderson and won the DWF Hardcore Championship, but was defeated of the same championship by boyfriend Leo Wyatt. Also that night Michaels defeated on Berzins, one on one for the DWF Championship & Michaels' contract in a two out of three falls.
- On the Febuary 13th episode of DWF Collision the female won two matches again in the same night. She won against the Hardcore Champion to become the first ever two-time hardcore champion, and she won her qualifing match in big or bust Ladder Match. Her last match on Deathlock was with Richards vs Andzelika and Johnson. One March 13th Deathlock closed its doors, and she was the First and Last Deathlock Champion. This was later confirmed during the farewell show, where she defended the Deathlock Championship against Craig Anderson and pinned him after a powerbomb.
World Frontier Wrestling (2013-Present)[]
- On the recarnation of WFW as Abbie Jade she was accompanied by Steve Awesome to the ring for her match against Paul Benzema, as a shocker to everyone the famous CEO tried to kiss Michaels in a losing effort to only aquire her cheek.
