In November, Rosemary started a feud with both Gail Kim and Jade and after Kim was injured she vacated the TNA Women's Knockout Championship.[42][43] This led to a match, which aired on tape delay on the December 1 episode of Impact Wrestling, where Rosemary defeated Jade in a six sides of steel cage match to win the vacant Knockouts Championship for the first time in her career.[44] Month later, during the One Night Only: Live! pay–per–view, Rosemary made her first title defense defeating Sienna.[45] In mid–January 2017, the feud between Rosemary and Jade re–emerged,[46] and the two competed in a monster's ball match, where Rosemary defeated Jade to retain her title.[47] Few weeks later, on the March 2 episode of Impact Wrestling, Rosemary would go on to defeat Jade once again, this time in a last knockout standing match, to retain her championship and end their rivalry.[48] During her reign, Rosemary also went on to fend off challengers like Santana Garrett[49][50] and ODB.[51]
