On Might 20, 2019, Mick Foley revealed the 24/7 Championship to the WWE Universe, starting a three-year extravaganza of mayhem and goofy moments.
Certain, the championship title wasn’t the best-kept secret on this planet, as is normally the case with something within the WWE, however as soon as it was totally unveiled, the group went gentle.
Much like how Vince McMahon gave Foley the Hardcore Championship, the 24/7 Championship was positioned within the ring, and the primary individual to seize it will develop into its inaugural champion. Titus O’Neil utilized his power and velocity, fortunately did not slip beneath the ring apron, and have become the primary 24/7 Champion in WWE historical past.
So, how did the primary 24/7 Champion lose the title? O’Neil could have celebrated a bit too lengthy on the doorway ramp and forgotten concerning the guidelines of the title, as Bobby Roode attacked him from behind earlier than rolling him up and profitable the championship.
Poor Roode could not even seize the title, which flew out of O’Neil’s palms, because the remaining contributors within the scramble chased him to the backstage space.

Be ready to see R-Reality on this record as a rule. He did have the title for a document 53 runs, which suggests he holds a whopping 26.23% of the entire title modifications.
In true R-Reality vogue, it would not be him with out some comedy combined in, which brings us to his first entry on the record. After shedding the title to Jinder Mahal, R-Reality hopped on the aircraft with him, looking for revenge.
Whereas this wasn’t reside on Uncooked or SmackDown, the WWE-exclusive video confirmed R-Reality creeping down the aisles looking for Mahal. This meant pulling the covers off the faces of sure WWE superstars, disturbing their sleep within the course of. As soon as R-Reality discovered Mahal, he wasted no time masking him, which led to Mahal scrambling in his seat and being unable to maneuver.
The run could have solely lasted 12 days, but it surely was the longest of his profession at that time. R-Reality managed to keep away from virtually everybody on the June 18 version of SmackDown, however a sneaky Drake Maverick, disguised as Carmella, shocked R-Reality and beat him for the title. Belief me once I let you know, it will not be the final time these two crossed paths.

In one other WWE-exclusive video, R-Reality was as much as his shenanigans as soon as once more. Displeased with shedding the title to Drake Maverick, R-Reality would do one higher than his victory on a aircraft by crashing Maverick’s marriage ceremony.
As he and his spouse, Renee Michelle, walked down the aisle after tying the knot, R-Reality popped up with a referee and rolled Drake up for the win. One thing about R-Reality and being confined to a small space with aisles spells catastrophe for whoever was the champion on the time.
Though a marriage day is meant to be crammed with pleasure and love, there was no person happier than R-Reality, who celebrated with the championship as he ran out of the ceremony. Poor Drake was left on the altar, nonetheless a married man, however ten kilos lighter across the waist.
R-Reality dropped the title to Heath Slater 4 days in a while the June 24 episode of Uncooked, however do not feel too unhealthy for him. He gained it again, then misplaced it, and gained it once more. Like I stated, the 24/7 Championship was madness incarnate, and there was no telling who would win the title subsequent. However, if you happen to have been a betting man, you’d put cash on R-Reality.

Our first superstar look on the record is Unhealthy Bunny, a multi-Grammy-winning artist who is not unfamiliar with the WWE circle.
Not solely did he major occasion a PLE with Damian Priest, however Unhealthy Bunny was additionally the 24/7 Champion for a stable month. Sure, he did make the most of an unconscious Akira Tozawa, however generally, it is not about how you win the championship.
Unhealthy Bunny did not actually should defend the title both, as he was accompanied by Priest, his good friend on the time. Thoughts you, there have been in all probability safety guards and different members of his entourage ready off-camera, so attacking him for the gold would warrant a mauling. Unhealthy Bunny was as protected as you can hope for whereas holding the 24/7 Championship.
The humorous factor is, Unhealthy Bunny by no means technically misplaced the title. To lose a championship, you both have to be pinned or made to submit, neither of which occurred. The subsequent champion occurs to even be the follow-up entry on this record, so I will keep away from spoilers on the way it occurred. I would not wish to give it away like that.

There is no denying that R-Reality is among the funniest members of the WWE locker room, however no person was ready for the way he dethroned Unhealthy Bunny.
After 28 days with the championship, it will take one other strategy to getting the title off of him. Not too many WWE superstars would have considered a greater approach to get hold of the championship, however R-Reality had the proper plan.
Bearing items in hand, R-Reality satisfied Unhealthy Bunny that the most suitable choice for him was equal trade. Conscious of his fandom for Stone Chilly Steve Austin, R-Reality gifted Unhealthy Bunny a Steve Austin figurine, a metallic lunch field, and most significantly, a Smoking Cranium reproduction championship.
For individuals who grew up watching the Perspective Period, this championship title was essential for Steve Austin followers.
Realizing the burden of being the 24/7 Champion, Unhealthy Bunny felt like he was accommodated sufficient and acquired sufficient items to present the title to R-Reality. Technically, this implies Unhealthy Bunny remains to be the 24/7 Champion, however going by WWE logic, he misplaced it at that second.

Not solely did he have the WWE locker room to arrange for, however the firm additionally introduced again legends of the previous few many years to have fun the occasion. It was a packed constructing full of people that would not thoughts profitable some gold.
A complete of 9 modifications occurred on that evening, and also you finest consider it wasn’t simply energetic superstars grabbing the chance. Former McMahon stooges Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco briefly held the title, as did Kelly Kelly and Candice Michelle.
Among the many names etched in 24/7 Championship historical past, no second stood out greater than the one shared between Alundra Blayze and The Million Greenback Man.
Following her win, Blayze would try and trash the 24/7 Championship, much like what she did with the WWF Ladies’s Championship on WCW tv. Earlier than she might do this, Ted Dibiase Sr. got here out to supply an alternate, within the type of chilly, arduous money.
All people has a worth, and so did Blayze, who exchanged the title for a stack of money. Sadly, it would not be value it, because the title landed again within the palms of R-Reality by the top of the evening.

Mockingly sufficient, R-Reality crashing Drake Maverick’s marriage ceremony would not be the one time a marital ceremony would result in chaos.

Akira Tozawa has the unlucky achievement of shedding the 24/7 Championship within the weirdest of how.
He was crushed by Unhealthy Bunny backstage, misplaced the title on his marriage ceremony day, and was even taken down by a retired wrestler turned YouTuber, Joseph Common. Regardless of his lengthy record of embarrassing defeats, none would destroy his ego greater than his loss to Santa Claus.
You heard that proper, ol’ Kris Kringle himself as soon as took a while off from delivering presents and spreading cheer to carry the 24/7 Championship. Knocking Tozawa over along with his current bag, Santa Claus picked up the win earlier than working off gleefully with the title in hand. On that evening, cookies and milk weren’t sufficient to fulfill Santa Claus’ starvation.

Whereas he celebrated his twenty fifth victory, poor Santa Claus was compelled to return to his day job of passing items to youngsters world wide.

Throughout a match on SmackDown, Roman Reigns and R-Reality teamed as much as tackle Drew McIntyre and Elias. The 24/7 Championship guidelines have been suspended whereas the 2 groups battled.
On the time, Elias was the holder of the title, and, because of Shane McMahon, he did not want to fret about shedding it if he have been pinned within the match. Sadly for him, these guidelines do not apply after the match.
Elias did go on to lose the match for his group, and that is when the enjoyable started. With the 24/7 ban lifted, Reigns took the chance to ship a thunderous spear to Elias, leaving him immobile in the course of the ring.
As a substitute of pinning him and taking the title for himself, Reigns gave R-Reality the inexperienced gentle to cowl Elias. It was a candy second of brotherhood, as Reigns celebrated with R-Reality following the win.
