SummerSlam 2016 saw two of the "Four Horsewomen of WWE" face each other when Sasha Banks defended the WWE RAW Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair. This was Banks' first title-defense as she had won it almost a month ago from Flair on an episode of Monday Night RAW.

Both WWE NXT alum renewed their hostility from their days from the "black and gold brand" in this heart-pounding match, giving it their all to prove who was the better wrestler. During the closing moments of the match, it looked like Banks could walk out of SummerSlam as the winner. She had Flair trapped in the Bank Statement, but the "The Queen" tilted onto her back and applied all of her weight to pin Banks's shoulders to the mat.

As a result, Flair got the three-count and walked out of the ring as a two-time RAW Women's Champion. Later, struck the pose in the photo above to assert her dominance over the women's division for years to come.
