AIW had always had female personalities before, but never as in-ring talent. That is, until early 2008, when Hailey Hatred showed up and destroyed Team Sexy multiple times. After failing to figure out a way to beat Hailey, they found a person from her past: Mickie Knuckles. The rough and tough Knuckles was willing to attempt something even a man couldn't do: beat Hailey. This would be AIW's first ever women's match, but not its last. A hard hitting affair like their other battles, this match will forever be engraved in AIW's history.
