Both Rose and Deville were drafted to SmackDown during the 2018 WWE Superstar Shake-up, with Paige subsequently declaring that Absolution was over. Despite this, Rose would continue competing in various tag team matches alongside Deville. Seeds of dissolution between the two were planted when Rose eliminated Deville from a battle royal at the inaugural all women's pay-per-view, Evolution. At Survivor Series in November, Rose competed in her first traditional five-on-five elimination match as part of Team SmackDown in a losing effort. Rose later feuded with Naomi after she flirted with Naomi's husband, Jimmy Uso, to "ruin Naomi's life", which also involved Rose hinting at kissing Uso as well as Naomi attacking Rose in a hotel room to which Rose invited Uso. The rivalry continued as both Rose and Naomi eliminated each other from the women's Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble event, on January 27, 2019, where Rose managed to last 25:50. The two exchanged victories over each other in February.
