Even though she had attacked Kovac and appeared in her white jumpsuit, Bairon returned to her "Bitch" character at the Smash.23 press conference, when she came face to face with Syuri. On November 24 at Smash.23, Syuri defeated Bairon in a hardcore match, after which the two made peace with each other, officially ending Bairon's run as a villain.
