Her first match being on the 7th of April in a losing effort to lady Tara thought the young rookie showed plenty of fight. The next week Kimberly Smith faced the newly turned heel Hamada in what would become good crowd interaction match Kimberly shocked everybody much to the crowds delight hitting Crossrail her then finisher on a distracted by getting angry with the referee Hamada for an upset pinfall to win the match which hamada quickly payed back the rookie by beating her down. Over the next few months Kimberly would suffer a number of losses including ones to Ery and the newly crowned SLCW Women's Champion the Vintage Vixen, following these her next appearance was in the Paetro Shelford Memorial Cup Gauntlet match where she was entry number one and unfortunately despite her best efforts and resistance losing her ppv debut at Smash of Champions being the first eliminated by Ms a Rae.

This continued when Hamada began on social media to talk not so nice about Kimberly while Kimberly picked up a return win vs tara and a win over Rosalind Duffield. Finally on the 4th of August 2018 Showdown Kimberly and Hamada came to blows again in what turned out to be a brutal tables match beginning before the bell even rang including a spear off of the stage and action inside the crowd area unfortunately for Kimberly Hamada used her own move the Tube Driver against her to send her crashing through the table but once again she showed strength walking out seemingly not too badly injured or hurt determined to walk out to the back reassuring the crowd she was ok this has seemingly ended the feud for now however it is highly awaited for any further encounters the 2 may have.

Feud With Horses Morrisey
The previous week wrestling legend Horses Morrisey cut an promo some choice words were said about DCWF and she had demanded an reinduction to the DCWF Hall Of Fame. This occurred at the start of the show on the 17th of may DCWF Full Tilt and while all dressed up and having things close to her including an Coventry bus and an car she now drives she had speech then introduced who she was expecting as an guest to induct her in another wrestling legend Jerico "Jelly" Scarbridge however it would not be Jerico that walked out it was Kimberly not taking kindly to being called an rookie and while having respect for Horses did end up ruining the reinduction when she was told to go take an bus she drove the bus crushing Horses car in the proses. Later in the show she would go on to beat Bellona having worked on her larger opponents legs and rolling her up for the win.
On the 24th of May edition of DCWF Full Tilt Kimberly Smith was part of an triple threat main event match where she faced Ery and the DCWF Womens Champion Faylen in an match that was for the DCWF Womens Championship, Kimberly did not win but had an very strong showing coming within inches of stopping Faylen pinning Ery to retain the championship when she performed an desperate move never seen from her in an diving corkscrew leg drop it was an really good showing from Kimberly putting it all out there to try to win the match. The next week on the 31st of may DCWF Full Tilt Kimberly faced Gina Rose with Jaxi as special guest referee this match however never reached an conclusion as not far into the match Gina began arguing with the referee and her and Jaxi began fighting finally being split up by Ery and officially the match was declared an no contest. The next week on the 7th of June Kimberly came out prior to her match and formally challenged Horses Morrisey to an Underground Rules match one contested within an cage where only way to win is by knock out or submission an challenge Horses does not want to fully take up trying to suggest they wrestle properly instead Kimberly did mention showing what she meant it is thought this will mean an Underground Rules match will at some point take place. Following the challenge Kimberly faced Joanne Steel and Lyria and had an very even match with Lyria as Joanne had no interest in wrestling this was until she was knocked into and Joanne seamed to take it out on Kimberly hitting her with an kendo stick thus giving Lyria the upper hand advantage to finish the match off it should be noted however Kimberly was toe to toe evenly with the SLCW Women's Champion until that moment.
Kimberly would get her wish of an Underground Rules match the next week to prove its concept management chose Ery in the end to face Kimberly in the match it was an brutal fight both fighting hard eventually Kimberly got the win via knockout after an good 10 minutes of back and forth pure fighting congratulating each other at the end of the match, meanwhile Horses earlier on the show won an Duchess Of Coventry rules match basically an old world of sport style rules Horses had won this via an disqualification while the score was 1-1 as the match was held as 2 falls 2 submissions or an knockout over rounds. Kimberly would next make an last minute appearance in an DCWF showcase style match at the sister federation WPWF's Rebellion FPV in another match with old rival Joanne Steel Joanne would win this match in an dirty manor using brass knuckles without the referee noticing. The next day on DCWF Full Tilt Kimberly would appear during an match between Emma Grey and Horses trying to make the referee notice that Horses had been cheating which did not work, following the match an game of bingo was played seemingly rigged as Horses won therefore setting the match at DCWF Luck Of The Draw to be contested to Duchess Of Coventry Rules match Horses also threw Kimberly into the screen of the machine.
Luck Of The Draw FPV
At the rescheduled DCWF 'Luck Of The Draw' FPV on July 5th the contest was set for 12 rounds of 2 minutes per round, the match being decided by 2 falls 2 submissions 2 dq's or an knockout as the ways either competitor could win. As this was contest under traditional British Wrestling rules Kimberley wore her special ring attire decked out in the Union Jack, the British flag.
Horses started strong against Kimberly Smith and would took an early lead in the second round of the contest to make the score 1-0 to Horses. During round 3 Horses would lose a fall when she used her old 'friend' Sidney Bear, handing a point to Kimberley Smith and tying the contest up at 1-1. With one fall apiece the next two rounds would see many near falls as both competitors tried to get the third and final fall to secure victory and there were many near falls. It was round 6 when Horses looked to have secured the win with the 'Ketamine' finisher which is usually enough to finish off Horses opponent and so she was shocked when Kimberly kicked out at 2. As they got back to their feet Kimberly set up and performed the new Underground Knee finisher which Horses was Knocked out from so Kimberly Smith won the match via and 6th Round Knockout her first singles match win on an FPV. It is said the Duchess Of Coventry was not very happy that Horses Morrisey lost the match.

Return Rumours
On January 1st 2019 became a full on rumour of Kimberly signing for a promotion and beginning work on returning to the ring in the near future this of course was denied by any involved but was thought to be a deal to do further work on returning to the ring. By mid January it has been reported by some sources she had signed an deal with the same promotion as before and has been rumoured to have been sighted at the WVE Performance Centre beginning rumours that she has signed for them in some sort of form. On the 8th of February Kimberly has mentioned to friends and sources she's mentioned the date 10th of February multiple times with #returntothefing10/02/19 teasing an in ring return even further.

On the 10th of February 2019 it has been reported Kimberly had been sighted wondering around the VWE Performance Centre and also the PULSE arena sight of that days PULSE show and also reports of during that day and 24 hours before the PULSE show she had been seen wondering around backstage at the PULSE Arena, this is supported by rumours backstage that Kimberly Smith is indeed due to have a scheduled match on PULSE on the 10th of February 2019. Around 2 hours before the 10th of February edition of VWE PULSE there are confirmed reports of Kimberly Smith being backstage at the PULSE Arena in full gear.

On 23rd of February at a VWE Live event Named VWE Vs PULSE: Collison Course Kimberly Smith took on the VWE Women's World Champion Sinfully Devilish" Maxine The Longest Reigning Bombshell and despite losing showed a heck of a lot of fight and both wrestlers got a standing ovation with Maxine noting on a headset that Kimberly is part of the future and had taken her to the limit critics say it was one of her best ever performances and is showing real promise. Kimberly Smith's next appearance was not until the 7th of April 2019 coming up short to at the time No1 contender to the PULSE Women's championship June Gloom once again being respectful during the match and finally beginning to let her accent come out during matches when she spoke in cockney and also wished June good luck against the champion.
