Then, towards the end of her WWE career, she joined forces with Naomi to win the tag team championship at WrestleMania 38. But just a month later, she and Naomi stormed into the WWE Head of Talent Relations office. They both placed their titles on the table and walked out due to creative differences with Vince McMahon.
