This was a three-way match , also involving Allison Danger . On June 17, 2005, in Midlothian, Illinois , Ed Chuman, NWA Midwest promoter, declares that a supposed title change on June 11 (an IWA Mid-South event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania , where Mickie Knuckles defeated Danger and MsChif in a three-way match to become champion in IWA's eyes) is invalid due to the match not being sanctioned by the NWA. The two titles then split into separate entities as IWA Mid-South promoter Ian Rotten recognized Knuckles as champion with her win over MsChif. Knuckles is thus the first strictly IWA Mid-South Women's Champion, and is where that portion of the title lineage begins.
