3 alternate titles Mick Foley could have revealed instead of the 24/7 Championship
This week on Raw, Hardcore legend Mick Foley made his way to the middle to announce the new WWE 24/7 Championship. The championship will be defended across all of WWE's brands, including Raw, SmackDown, 205 Live, NXT, and NXT UK.
The championship is contested under a similar rule to the past WWE Hardcore Championship, which at one time had a "24/7 rule". The 24/7 Championship can be defended anytime, anywhere, as long as a referee is present.
The inaugural champion was crowned just a few minutes later, as Titus O’Neil was able to “pick up” the title. Titus lost the championship a little over a minute later to Bobby Roode, who later lost it to R-Truth.
While we can hope that the creatives have something good in store for the new championship, things do not look bright considering the talent that was involved after its unveiling and how WWE has booked second-string championships.
In this article, we will look at the three alternate championships which Mick Foley could have announced instead of the 24/7 Championship, and how they could have had a greater impact.
#3 A Six-Man Tag Team Championship
A Six-Man Tag Team Championship is a title in tag team wrestling held by 3 people and defended in a six-man tag team match.
The title has been seen on many different promotions around the world, but currently does not exist in the WWE. The best thing about the championship is that more teams can become champions, keeping in mind that there are many two-man teams and many multi-man teams in WWE today.
With the existence of factions such as The New Day, The Undisputed Era, The Lucha House Party, The Forgotten Sons, among others, the championship would give more tag teams to compete for a title and stay relevant.
With more and more superstars asking for their release from the company and stating that they are unhappy with their current position, a six-man tag team championship could keep more than two superstars happy at once.
With the wild-card rule in effect, a single championship could have been used for all the brands in WWE today.
