The 24/7 Championship was introduced in 2019 by Mick Foley. The inaugural champion was WWE's Global Ambassador Titus O'Neil. R-Truth holds the record for the most title reigns of 53. The current champion is Dana Brooke, who has also held the title multiple times. She is the first female superstar to hold the title on multiple occasions. Following Brooke, Nikki A.S.H. also joined her.
