Tanya's P.O.V.
Tonight was the night. The night I face Summer for the Raw Women's Championship. I couldn't wait for this match. Not only because I get to lay my hands on Summer, but I finally get to become a Grand Slam Champion, since I've held the NXT, Divas, and Smackdown Women's Championships. I couldn't wait for this match.
I was behind the curtain and I glared at Summer, who was next to me. "Once I crush you like a bug, you will think twice before trying to mess with me again." I told her. "Whatever, bitch. I'll beat you." she told me. "Also, sorry for the way he dumped your slutty ass." I told her with a smirk as I flipped my hair and put on my "BOSS" glasses.
Dean had dumped Summer on national television last week. He told her that he admitted he never really loved her and that she was only a one-time thing and that's it. He admitted she was nothing more than a distraction and that she tried to make him behave in a way he didn't want to. Summer glared at me and I laughed at her. "Just wait, whore. I'm gonna bash your face in until you're bleeding." I told her.
"The following contest is a Lumberjill match scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Raw Women's Championship!" JoJo announced.

I walked out to screaming fans as I did my signature pose. "Introducing first, the challenger. From Boston, Massachusetts, Tanya Banks!" JoJo announced. I saw all the Lumberjills there; Sasha, Bayley, Lana, Nia Jax, Alicia Fox, Dana Brooke, Amberlee, Fallen Angel, and Charlotte. My friends sent me smiles as I hopped on the apron and raised my arm up, making the fans cheer. I took of my jacket and accessories before I saw Charlotte, Bayley, and Sasha hold up the four fingers. I smirked as I did the same.
I was known as the heart of the Four Horsewomen. They had my back 100% of the time. It's sad Becky isn't here, because if she was, it would have been perfect to have all four of them. Oh, well. At least I have three of them supporting me tonight.
I looked into the audience and I gasped at who I saw. I saw Galina, Joelle, Naomi, Jey, Jimmy, Dwayne, Simone, and Roman there. I got out of the ring before I went to each of them and hugged them. I hugged Galina and Joelle tightly. "Good luck, Sis. I believe in you." Galina whispered. "Thanks, Galina." I told her. I went over to Joelle and kissed her cheek. "I will win for you, Babygirl." I told her as I gave her my BOSS shades.
"How sweet is this? Tanya's second family is here to support her in her match. Look at the love she's showing towards that little girl and beautiful woman." Michael said. "I talked to Roman earlier today, he told me that he and his family consider Tanya as a part of them. After all, these two have a bond like no other. They're practically siblings from different parents." JBL explained.
I went over to Roman and he hugged me tightly, along with his cousins. "Good luck. Give that bitch a piece of her mind." Jimmy told me. "You got this, girl." Naomi told me. "Thanks, guys." I told them as I went back into the ring. I looked at the ramp, ready for my opponent to come out. I cracked my fingers before I clenched my fists.
Call to me, Call to me
The crowd booed as she came strutting out. "And, her opponent! From Raleigh, North Carolina, Summer Rae!" JoJo announced. Summer strutted down the ramp as she flipped her hair, making me roll my eyes. She hopped on the apron and did her pose, making me roll my eyes. She then got off and I glared at her as we had a stare off.
"And, please welcome, the special guest referee for this match!" JoJo announced. Everybody instantly looked confused. Just then, the all too familiar theme played and out he walked, wearing a referee shirt. I didn't know what go do. I just froze on the spot. Is he really here? Why the hell is he here? Is he gonna try and help Summer win?
"What the hell? Dean Ambrose is going to be the referee for his exes?" Michael asked. "Well, Cole. There are rumors going around that Dean demanded he be the special guest referee. Nobody knows why." Jerry replied.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Dean Ambrose!" JoJo announced. Dean walked down the ramp before sliding into the ring. He came in and for some odd reason, he payed more attention to me than Summer. It was then he did something I didn't expect him to do. He patted my shoulder and I stared at him awkwardly. "Good luck." he told me before he kissed my cheek, which caught me off guard. I shook it off as he signaled for the bell to ring.
The bell rang and I instantly went after Summer. I tackled her to the mat and punched her trashy face in. I got up and kicked her before I grabbed her and Clotheslined her multiple times. I grabbed her and banged her head on the turnbuckle. I let her go as Dean came over. I grabbed Summer and threw her across the mat. I grabbed her and kicked her in the gut. I went for a pin.
"One! Two!" Summer kicked out. I groaned as I looked at Dean. "Come on, Dean!" I said as I got up. I grabbed Summer and I grabbed both of her arms and crossed them behind her back. She screamed as she thrashed her legs. However, she managed to break free, much to my shock. I groaned before I grabbed her, but she kicked me and punched me. She sent me to the ropes before she did her signature kick on me.
She then went for a pin. However, Dean didn't get down to count. Summer let me go and she looked at Dean. She screamed at him as he told her he was the referee and he is the one on charge. Taking advantage of the distraction, I rolled her up and pinned her. "One! Two!" Summer kicked out. I grabbed her and performed the Bankrupt on her. She rolled out of the ring, holding her head.
All the lumberjills began attacking her. Sasha and Charlotte began the assault first before Sasha threw her back into the ring. I grabbed Summer and performed the Twist of Fate. I then decided to go to the ropes. I climbed to the top and balanced myself for the Moonsault. I leapt, but I felt myself collide with the mat, making me grab my leg.
"Tanya landed hard! She's writhing in pain! Hang in there, Tanya!" JBL encouraged. I got up, but was met with a kick to the face by Summer. She got my arms and set me in her submission move. I screamed in pain as I thrashed my legs. "Come on, Tanya!" Bayley encouraged me. Summer went for a pin, but I kicked out. She put more pressure, making me scream more.
"You got this!" Sasha shouted. "Shut up, bitch!" Summer snapped at her. "Shut your mouth! You're nothing, Summer!" Charlotte yelled. Summer then wrapped her legs around me, making me try to escape. I managed to move just a bit before I swung my arm st Summer, making her loosen her legs and I gave her numerous punches before we were separated. "Come on, Tanya! Believe in this!" Bayley encouraged as she and the two former champs held the four fingers.
"And, there is Charlotte, Sasha, and Bayley showing her the Four Horsewomen sign." Michael said.
As I got up, I hit a roundhouse kick to Summer, sending her down. Just then, the Lumberjills began attacking my friends. Dean was busy trying to make them stop. Instantly, I slid out the ring and I got a steel chair. I saw Summer get up and I made sure Dean wasn't looking. I slammed the chair and tossed it to Summer, who caught it. I let myself fall as the Lumberjills separated and Dean turned. He saw the chair in Summer's hands and they began arguing.
I smirked, knowing my strategy had worked. I looked and saw Sasha with tears in her eyes as she knew what I did. Honoring our lifelong hero, Eddie Guerrero. I sent her a thumbs up with a wink. As I recovered from my slight daze, I rolled Summer up and Dean got down. "One! Two!" Summer kicked out and as we got up, I locked her into the Bank Statement. She thrashed her legs, trying to get to the bottom rope, but I rotated and locked her into it again, putting more pressure. She finally tapped out. The bell dinged as I gasped.

"Here is your winner and the new Raw Women's Champion, Tanya Banks!" JoJo announced. I felt tears form in my eyes as Dean handed me the sparkling, red and white belt. He helped me up and raised my arm as I raised my title above my head. I couldn't help but look at Dean. He let me go and got out of the ring as Amberlee, Fallen Angel, Charlotte, Bayley, and Sasha came in and hugged me one by one.
Amberlee and Fallen Angel stepped aside as Becky's theme played. She came out wearing regular clothing. She walked down the ramp and slid into the ring. She shook hands with Fallen Angel and Amberlee before they walked backstage with all the other Lumberjills. I looked at Becky before she smiled and hugged me tightly.
I responded as Sasha, Charlotte, and Bayley looked on. "I'm proud of you." she told me as the tears fell. Soon, the other three came in and joined the hug. We separated and we all raised each other's arms while I was in between Sasha and Becky. My theme played and they held the four fingers. I smiled as I did the same as the crowd cheered.
I went over to where Roman, Galina, Joelle, Naomi, Jimmy, Jey, Dwayne, and Simone were. Galina and Naomi had tears in their eyes as they hugged me. I went to Joelle and hugged her. "You did it, Auntie!" she said. "I know, Babygirl. I did it for you." I told her as I kissed her forehead. I went to Roman and The Usos and they hugged me tightly. "Great job, Sis. We're happy for you." Roman told me. "Damn right, girl!" the twins said, which made me chuckle.
I went o Dwayne and Simone and hugged them. "Great job, Sweetheart." Dwayne told me. "Thanks, Dwayne." I told him. "I'm proud of you." Simone told me. I smiled as I kissed her cheek. I smiled as I was led by my friends and we went backstage. We all went to get my title customized with my side plates. They're the same as Sasha's in a way, but the color is purple and the right has the BOSS shades and the left has my name on it.
After that, I went on Twitter and was blasted with so many notifications from my friends back at Smackdown and NXT and from my fans.

There was so much, I couldn't help but smile. It was then Charlotte got my phone. "Let's take a picture. Show that all of us are champions and sisters." she suggested. We smiled and nodded as we held up the four fingers and snapped the picture. I smiled as I took the phone and posted the picture on my Twitter and Instagram profiles. I wrote:
"I was so glad to have not only my loved ones, but my fellow Horsewomen out there to congratulate me on my victory tonight. This is what we call the Women's Revolution. #fourhorsewomen #sisterhood #newchampion #groupofchamps @beckylynchwwe,@bayleywwe, @sashabankswwe, and @charlottewwe"
After Raw was over, I went to dinner with mine and Roman's family and it was the best time of my life.
