On the February 29th edition of Odyssey, Alyssa teamed up with then OWA Women's Champion Dulce Torres to face then Goddess Champion April Song and Diantha Moreau in a losing effort in the main event, Grace was pinned after an interruption from La Llorona that went unnoticed from officials. Following the match, Alyssa engaged in a brawl with Llorona, April Song and Roni Ozborn which led to the announcement that Alyssa would be competing in a fatal four way for April's championship alongside Llorona and Ozborn at Final Destination II. Alyssa then teamed with April Song to face Roni Ozborn and La Llorona during the March 14th edition of Odyssey, Alyssa picked up the win for her team by pinning Roni Ozborn.

On the third night of Final Destination II in the opening bout, Alyssa defeated April Song, Roni Ozborn and La Llorona by pinning La Llorona to become the new Goddesses Champion. Alyssa started season Three by debuting on Atlantis, defeating Blake Cassidy. On the 9th of May edition of Odyssey, Alyssa challenged April Song to a rematch, the conditions being Submission Counts anywhere, the first match of its kind in OWA history. On the first night of Hardcore Havoc 2020, Alyssa retained her championship, making April Song tap out in their Submission Counts anywhere match. Following this on the June 6th edition of Odyssey, Alyssa was attacked by Void member Nyx during an interview, this led to a match between Alyssa and Nyx for the title being made official on the June 20th edition of Odyssey. On that same night, Alyssa teamed with Liara Lawson to face AK47 (Revy and Mizuko Nishiyama), Alyssa picked up the win for her team despite a misunderstanding between herself and Lawson by pinning Revy. On the July 2nd edition of Atlantis, Grace defeated Nobi. On the second night of Boiling Point 2020, Alyssa defeated Nyx to retain her championship.

On the August 1st edition of Odyssey Alyssa defeated Gwen Harper, after the match a speech given by Grace was interrupted by Azumi Goto who challenged Alyssa to a match at Game Over, Grace would put her championship on the line and Goto would put her career on the line, reluctantly Alyssa accepted. Alyssa faced and defeated Hana Nakajima on the August 29th edition of Odyssey, the go home show before Game Over, after the match Alyssa was confronted by Azumi who attacked the champion from behind. In the co main event of the first day of Game Over 2020, Alyssa defeated Azumi Goto in an emotional match up to retain her championship, retiring Goto in the process.

On the 24th September edition of Atlantis, Grace teamed with Maelstrom to defeat the duo of Morrighan McDonnell and Reginald Dampshaw III. On the 52nd edition of Odyssey, in search of new title challengers, Alyssa took to the ring and issued an open challenge to "all comers". The following edition of Odyssey saw Alyssa defend her title against Hana Nakajima in the main event of the evening, Alyssa would retain her championship due to an interference from the returning Selene. Two weeks later, Alyssa would engage in a backstage brawl with Gwen Harper after demanding that Odyssey general manager, Viola DeMarco come to a final decision on who her opponent at Civil War would be. The brawl came to a halt when The Banshee interfered. As tensions grew within the division due to the uncertainty of Alyssa's Civil War opponent, a brawl between Alyssa, Rebecca Brookes, Selene, Gwen Harper, The Banshee, Morrighan McDonnell and Hana Nakajima took place on the 55th edition of Odyssey, sparking Viola DeMarco to announce a blockbuster six woman ladder match for the Goddesses Championship at Civil War. Grace faced Graham Baker on the *"Get Mav Off Twitter"* edition of Atlantis and suffered her first pinball defeat during her reign after Baker capitalised off the appearance of the Banshee, hitting Alyssa with "Clean The Blade" to secure the three count. On the final episode of Odyssey before Civil War, Alyssa teamed with Hana Nakajima and Gwen Harper to defeat the trio of Morrighan McDonnell, Selene and Rebecca Brookes.

During the second night of the Civil War pay per view, Alyssa found herself to be unsuccessful in her ladder match defence, at a record setting 238 days, her reign came to an end as Rebecca Brookes climbed the ladder to retrieve the Goddesses Championship.

#### *The Road To Redemption.*

On the first episode of Odyssey 2021, Alyssa faced and defeated long time rival, The Banshee in the main event of the evening. Shortly after the match, Alyssa would be attacked by The Banshee. Two weeks later Alyssa officially declared herself as a participant in the annual Clash Of The Titans event and would go on to enter the match last, eliminating Jonetta Stone and Gwen Harper before being eliminated by the winner of the match, Diantha Rosso. To bounce back from a personally disappointing Clash performance, Alyssa faced Dulce Torres in the main event of Odyssey LIX to qualify for the Ascension To The Heavens ladder match, the match however, was interrupted by Gwen Harper so with no clear winner it was decided the following episode that all three women would represent Odyssey in the match at Final Destination Three. Alyssa faced Gwen and Dulce in a triple threat match on the final episode of Odyssey before Final Destination, coming up short when Gwen pinned Dulce to pick up the win. On the first night of Final Destination 3, Alyssa defeated Maverick, Ryo Sakazaki, Dulce Torres, Gwen Harper, Matt Miles, and Graham Baker to win the Ascension to the Heavens Ladder match in the opening bout, making her the first woman to do so.
