Around this time she also began using a loaded glove as her signature weapon to knock out her opponents.The following month at Against All Odds Rayne again successfully defended her title against James, this time in a Last Knockout Standing match, after another interference by Tara.Afterwards Rayne, claiming to now be done with James, announced the beginning of an open challenge series intended to find her new opponents, and, as part of it, successfully defended the Women's Knockout Championship against former knockouts ODB, Roxxi and Alissa Flash.
On the March 17 edition of Impact!, Rayne was challenged to a one last title match by Mickie James, which she accepted with the added stipulation that should James fail to beat her, she would have her hair shaved off.

On April 17 at Lockdown, Rayne lost the Women's Knockout Championship to Mickie James in a steel cage Title vs. Hair match, ending her reign at 188 days.During the past months, Tara had begun feeling uncomfortable over the brutality of Rayne's attacks towards James and when Rayne asked for a rematch for the Women's Knockout Championship, James agreed to give her one on the condition that should she be unable to regain the title, Tara would be released from her exclusive contract with Rayne.
On May 15 at Sacrifice, Rayne failed in her attempt to regain the Women's Knockout Championship, when Tara turned on her.
Rayne attacked Tara on the June 9 edition of Impact Wrestling, costing her and Mickie James their tag team match against Angelina Love and Winter.

On the November 3 edition of Impact Wrestling, Rayne and Kim defeated Brooke Tessmacher and Tara to win the Knockouts Tag Team Championship. The following week they made their first title defense, defeating Mickie James and Velvet Sky.
