Using the ring name ODB, Kresa brought the OVW Women's Championship alive when she created the title for herself, even though OVW did not recognize a women's champion at the time. She repeatedly cut promos saying that she was the new OVW Women's Champion, and OVW owner Danny Davis conceded and recognized the OVW Women's Championship. ODB lost her title to Katie Lea ( Katie Lea Burchill) in a Gauntlet Match on November 1, 2006. In the spring of 2007, ODB won the first ever "Miss OVW" crown with help from Victoria Crawford. Her ongoing feud with Lea led to a match between the two on June 1, 2007 where ODB was booked to defeat Lea to regain her title. ODB lost her title for the second time when she dropped it to Milena Roucka in a Six-Way Match on September 20, 2007.
