[6] In her time in OVW, Eagles trained alongside such wrestlers as Christopher Daniels, Elijah Burke, and Jillian Hall.
[2][5] The promotions were created on the back of Eagles opening a professional wrestling school, and were intended to encourage Australian wrestlers to travel between states in the country.
[15] Eagles started wrestling for the American all-female promotion Shimmer Women Athletes in October 2008, where she made her debut at Volume 21 together with Jessie McKay as "The Pink Ladies";[16] they participated in a gauntlet match to crown the first Shimmer Tag Team Champions but were the first team eliminated.
[1][20][21] Eagles went on to rack up nine successful title defenses against several wrestlers including Cheerleader Melissa, Ayumi Kurihara, Jessie McKay, Mercedes Martinez, Ayako Hamada, Serena Deeb and Hiroyo Matsumoto, as well as defending the title for the first time ever in PWWA and successfully retaining against McKay and Nicole Matthews in a triple–threat match.
[21][23] After the Shimmer tapings, Eagles wrestled a match that same month and suffered a career-threatening knee injury from a bad landing after jumping off the ropes.
[3] Three months later, on 6 April at Volume 53 in New Jersey, in her return to Shimmer, Eagles defeated her protégé and former tag team partner, Jessie McKay.
[26] Throughout Volume 55 and Volume 61, Eagles scored victories over wrestlers including Kana,[26] Athena,[27] Courtney Rush,[28] Mia Yim,[29] Jessicka Havok[30] and Hikaru Shida,[30] before being put in a tag team match with Nicole Matthews against Kellie Skater and Tomoka Nakagawa for the Shimmer Tag Team Championship, which they lost due to miscommunication.
[32] On 18 October 2014, at Volume 67, Eagles, this time working as a face, returned after sustaining an arm injury and fought Nicole Matthews in a no countouts and no disqualifications match which ended in a draw.
[37] A few months later, on 10 October, during the tapings of Volume 76, Eagles unsuccessfully competed in a number one contender's battle royal when Matthews and Perez interfered.
Eagles retained the championship against Shazza McKenzie[49] and Storm,[50] before losing it to Kellie Skater in September, ending her reign at 189 days.
