She ended up winning the tournament along with Bea Priestley. On October 14, 2017, Klein made her debut for the World Wonder Ring Stardom promotion by entering the Goddesses of Stardom Tag League tournament. It was these comments that reportedly led to ROH deciding not to renew her contract. She previously spoke out against the company on Twitter for refusing to pay her a living wage and ROH not having a concussion protocol and not allowing her time off to heal from injury. On November 22, 2019, it was revealed that Klein would be let go by ROH whilst recovering from post-concussion syndrome and while still being the reigning Women of Honor World Champion. Klein was attacked afterwards by the debuting Velvet Sky and Angelina Love, who were joined by Mandy Leon, with Leon turning heel by attacking Klein from behind.

At Night 2 of Bound By Honor on February 10, 2019, she lost the title to Mayu Iwatani, ending her reign at 58 days. At the 2018 Final Battle event, Klein won the Women of Honor World Championship for the first time, where she defeated the champion Sumie Sakai in a Four Corner Survival match, which also involved Madison Rayne and Karen Q. Klein later defeated Purrazzo in another singles match on the July 29 tapings, with the win coming after Karen Q turned heel and attacked Purrazzo. This led to a triple threat match in July in the 3rd Women of Honor event, which Karen Q also ended up winning.
Īs a heel, she went on an undefeated streak in ROH until it was ended by Karen Q with help from Deonna Purrazzo during an event in May 2017.
