As the lawsuit drew closer to the trial date
, it seemed more and more likely that no resolution was in sight. The promotion had recently developed a marketing campaign pushing other rising and established stars within the promotion. Heaven, on the other hand, began establishing connections outside of ACW, negotiating marketing and merchandising deals for fitness products and clothing lines and for software and online gaming products. She also announced her intentions to develop a separate promotion to compete with ACW, encouraging a number of current ACW performers to jump ship. ACW responded by adding a claim of contract tampering to the lawsuit and announced that it intended to take action against any performers who had engaged in discussions with Heaven on the matter. All aspects of the legal dispute have been resolved between the parties, although ACW has not dropped its actions against the other performers.
