During last week's episode of WWE Raw, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley introduced the company's newest championship, which is known as the 24/7 Title. In case you're somehow not aware, the title will be defended 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and according to the company, it can be won by anyone from Raw, SmackDown, or NXT, and on top of that, legends and Hall of Famers are eligible to win it.

Fans were a bit disappointed in the title reveal, as most were expecting the company to bring back the legendary Hardcore Championship, but obviously WWE didn't want to bring back something from the past. Or, perhaps they just figured that the 24/7 Title is a better name for it.

Nevertheless, if the title is going to be around for a while, and if it's a title that they want their fans to care about, they need to get it on a big name.

So, here are three WWE legends and future Hall of Famers who could, and should get a run with the 24/7 Championship if the company hopes to breathe some life into it.


#3 John Cena

John Cena hasn't been doing much in WWE as of late due to the fact that he's shifted his focus to life after wrestling. But, he still does come back every now and then, and one way to bring him back in a shocking way would be to have him with the 24/7 Championship.

Sure, Cena wouldn't be on television every week to defend it, but WWE is more than capable of taping stuff off-site, perhaps on a movie set, that can air during either Raw or SmackDown Live. It could help create some pretty memorable moments, much like the Hardcore Championship did when it was being defended in various locations outside of the actual arena.

Cena is the biggest possible name that they could put the title on, so putting it on him would help it gain a ton of prestige and interest.

#2 Shane McMahon

Someone who could be on television to defend the 24/7 Championship every week is Shane McMahon, who would probably make for a pretty incredible title holder.

Everyone knows that Shane's strong suit isn't his technical ability in the wrestling ring, which is why almost every single one of his matches has some sort of no disqualification stipulation applied to them. Of course, with the 24/7 Championship there are no rules, and you can have a match anywhere at anytime, which is right in Shane's wheelhouse as a performer.

Instead of constantly being in the ring for his matches, he could be backstage, or perhaps at an off-site location where he can use the environment around him to make up for the fact that he's not the greatest in-ring performer.

If done right, Shane could help elevate the 24/7 Championship for a period of time, and his defenses might end up being something that the fans begin to look forward to every single week.

#1 The Undertaker

This might seem like a ridiculous idea, but let's be honest, at this point in his career, The Undertaker is a severely limited performer in the ring, so why not take him out of the ring where he can use smoke and mirrors?

Having The Undertaker just walk around backstage with the title wouldn't fit his character, so instead, WWE could find a creepy property in the middle of nowhere, label it as "The Deadman's" home, and have various stars attempt to invade and take the 24/7 Championship from him.

All of the segments could end up being better versions of what they did when Randy Orton fought Bray Wyatt at the "Eater of Worlds'" compound. If that idea works, then it would really help get the title over, and it'd take whoever ended up defeating The Undertaker to the next level, and perhaps turn them into a main event level star on WWE's roster.
