A number of WWE Raw jobbers appeared on the show with Titus O’Neil, being the first one to get hold of the 24/7 Championship. Moments later, Bobby Roode pinned him on the ramp to win it back. He hid at backstage until R-Truth spotted him and pinned him before driving away in his car. So, currently, Truth is in charge of the 24/7 Championship.

WWE announced one of the major attractions for WWE Raw during Money in the Bank. The post-PPV edition of the flagship show was about to witness the return of a legend. None other than Mick Foley was the concerned returnee who came back for a bigger reason. Apparently, WWE was revealing a new championship through the Hall of Famer.

Now if you’re a follower of the career of Mick Foley, it’d be easy for you to guess which championship he could be revealing. One of the nicknames for him around the circuit is The Hardcore Legend for his successful stint in this type of gimmick matches. So fans wondered whether the former WWE Raw general manager was bringing back that infamous championship.

But the Hardcore title dealt with violent non-PG matches those are unfamiliar to current WWE environment. This is the reason there were question marks about WWE’s potential revelation for all night along until the segment aired on WWE Raw. It sure did garner attention from all over the WWE Universe, though. At last, we got the big news of the 24/7 Championship coming back to the WWE Universe after a long time.
