You were sitting in your locker room when you got the phone call saying that your younger sister was hit by a drunk driver. You waited hours to hear from your parents again. You were alone in your locker room, preparing for a tag team championship match that will never happen.

That's when you got the call you had been dreading since noon that day. It was two hours before Raw started. "Y/N, sweetie," your mother sobbed. "She didn't make it."

Those four words changed your life and the projection of your career. What were you going to do without Y/S/N by your side defending the titles that you both won at Wrestlemania? Your goal was never to be Raw Women's Champion or NXT Women's Champion. From the time your sister could walk and talk, you've always said that your goal was to become WWE Women's Tag Team Champions with your sister.

Now she's gone, and you have to do the one thing that you feared the most.

Thirty minutes before Raw begins, you finally leave your locker room. You carry both the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship belts with you. You're dressed in your gear. You never bothered getting changed.

Superstars look at you with a look of concern and worry, but none ask you if you're okay or what happened. That's because you put a fake smile on your face and trek forward.

Raw is supposed to begin with WWE Champion Drew McIntyre making a statement about his Royal Rumble challenger Goldberg. Drew and Goldberg stand backstage. The WWE Champion notices you walk up and he asks, "Hey, Y/N. What's going on? Ya look upset."

"My sister died," you mumble, afraid to say the words too loud. Drew's eyes widen and he looks at Goldberg. "I'm relinquishing the titles and I wanted to ask if I could have like five minutes out in the ring."

Goldberg says, "Of course, Y/N. You can have all the time you need. Do you want someone out there with you?"

You shake your head and walk off.

But Drew's begun thinking and he looks at Goldberg after watching you walk away.

Drew says to the older man, "I'll tape a promo really quick and ya can react to it in the ring. I need t'make sure that Y/N is okay when she's done in the ring so I'm gonna take her back to my place as soon as she's ready to leave."

The Hall of Famer nods and says, "Whatever you have to do, Drew."

The Scotsman gives Goldberg a curt nod and walks off.

Meanwhile, you've been standing behind the curtain and counting down your last few moments as WWE Women's Tag Team Champion. You've told the music people to hit your music that you and Y/S/N always walked out to, Here's To Us by Halestorm when they've been given the cue.

You can faintly hear Tom Phillips begin to speak over the crowd's cheers. Then your music starts and you're given a microphone. Your belt is wrapped around your waist while your sister's belt is on your shoulder.

The crowd cheers while you walk slowly down to the ring. The crowd doesn't realize that you're coming down to relinquish the titles because you're dressed in your gear.

You're overwhelmed with emotions as you step into the ring but you keep your composure. The music fades and the crowd quiets down as you look over at your sister's belt over your shoulder. You play with the microphone in your hand before bringing it up to your lips.
