UPDATED: More Details on WWE Title to Be Introduced Tonight on Raw
UPDATE: A new report has details on the the latest WWE title, which will be unveiled tonight on Raw. PWInsider reports that the title will be called the 24/7 Championship and will be similar to the WWE Hardcore title in that it can be defended anywhere and at any time, on any brand.
The news confirms the previous report by WrestleVotes that it would not be a Hardcore title but will “play off the rule where the title can be defended anywhere at anytime.”
The Hardcore Title became able to be defended 24/7 after Crash Holly won it in February of 2000. After that point, title changes became frequent, with few title reigns even lasting as long as ten days. For perspective, Raven holds the record for Hardcore Title reigns with 27 that had a total combined reign of 84 days.
ORIGINAL: Many rumors abound about the championship that Mick Foley is set to unveil tonight on Monday Night Raw, with no other details officially provided. WrestleVotes tweeted out that, according to their sources, the title that Mick Foley is set to introduce tonight is not a Legends title nor related to Saudi Arabia as some have suggested. And while it’s not necessarily going to be ‘hardcore’ it is expected to borrow from the former title’s 24/7 rule.
Their tweet on the matter can be seen below:
Lots of rumors surrounding the new championship Mick Foley is introducing. Source says it’s not a Legends belt in anyway & not connected to Saudi Arabia. It’s not “hardcore” either, although it’s going to play off the rule where the title can be defended anywhere at anytime.
