Omega Wrestling Alliance (2018 - present)[]
OWT (2018)[]
Night signed a developmental contract with Philadelphia-based OWA in May 2018. While she expected what she called "a full-fledged" developmental tenure, she was called up to the main roster the following month.
The Unchained (2018)[]
Night made her main roster debut on night one of Budokai Tenkaichi, appearing with the other members of The Unchained (David X Fierce, Rashad Wilson, and Jamal King) following Nathan Quinn's match. She then appeared in a backstage segment with the rest of The Unchained on the July 6 episode of Olympus. She made her in-ring debut on the July 8 episode of Kingdom, defeating Diantha Moreau to qualify for the first-ever Queen of the Ring match at Boiling Point. Night then appeared at ringside on the July 13 episode of Olympus during Rashad Wilson and Jamal King's victory over Bad and Boujie. On the July 22 episode of Olympus, Night first appeared in a pre-taped press conference also featuring the other Queen of the Ring participants. Later in the night, she acted as guest referee during a match against TyAnna Jupiter and Dulce Torres. Afterward, she appeared, along with the rest of The Unchained, in a segment with Olympus General Manager Roy Rivers and Melissa Rivers. Savannah Sunshine would go onto win the first Queen of the Ring match. On the August 17 edition of Olympus, Night took part in a Triple Threat match for number one contendership of the Ring of Opportunity; Goto would go on to pin Torres to win. On the September 1 premiere episode of Odyssey, Night defeated Goto. On the September 8 episode of Odyssey, Night appeared in a backstage segment with brand general manager Viola DeMarco demanding to be rewarded for her victory the previous week. When Megan Harper walked in on the exchange, DeMarco proclaimed that Harper would be Night's opponent the following week. On the September 15 episode of Odyssey, Night went on to defeat Harper. On the September 29 episode of Odyssey, Night defeated Kiara Roberson. On the October 6 episode of Odyssey, Night was on commentary for the main event match between Sweet Roxy and Roberson.

Torres would go on to win the match and the title. On the October 28 episode of Odyssey, newcomer Rochelle was on commentary for Night's quick victory over Y.T. Matheson. Afterward, Night and Rochelle had a tense staredown. Night and Rochelle eventually faced each other at Odyssey X, where Night lost. She suffered a separated shoulder in the match and was subsequently briefly written out of action.
Odyssey (2019)[]
Night returned to action in the Clash of the Goddesses match, receiving a mostly positive reception from the crowd. She was the thirteenth entrant and eliminated Sakura Corleone before being eliminated by Eris. She made her in-ring Odyssey return on February 9, losing to Diantha Moreau in the main event of the broadcast. Night then defeated Amy-Jayne on the February 16 episode of Odyssey.
