5 improvements WWE could consider for the 24/7 Championship

Although it has provided us with some comedic segments during its short reign on television, a serious change to the WWE 24/7 Championship is long overdue.

Debuting back in 2019 on an episode of Monday Night Raw, the title carries a unique stipulation attached to it which allows anyone to dethrone the titleholder anywhere, at any time. As long as a WWE referee is present, anyone is eligible to be crowned the champion.

Despite the occasional fun that surrounds the title, moving on from the honor could open the door for a much more entertaining prospect for the WWE roster. So, how could the promotion improve on the 24/7 Championship?

#5 WWE could allow mid-carders to win the 24/7 Championship

Since being introduced on May 20, 2019, the 24/7 Championship has been won on 154 different occasions, and although R-Truth is the title's longest reigning champion across numerous reigns — having held it for a minimum of 415 days combined — the title remains one of the least prestigious in WWE.

To change that, the company simply has to put the title on a mid-carder and allow them to hold it for an extended period. The superstar could also defend it in close-fought matchups, overcoming multiple surprise sneak attacks to retain the strap week in, week out.

While it may be a bit too ambitious, giving the title to MVP and having Bobby Lashley constantly in his corner to bail him out of tough situations could help raise the credibility of the belt without having to force it on to fans.

Crowning a completely new champ will help keep the title picture fresh. Alongside MVP's ability on the mic, a dominant Bobby Lashley taking out anyone who dares challenge for the belt could well make everyone believe that WWE's 24/7 Championship segments are worth keeping an eye on.

#4 WWE could give the 24/7 Championship an updated design

Like many titles in the past, the 24/7 Championship is in desperate need of an upgrade if WWE wants fans to pay attention and take the prize seriously.

The dark moss green strap accompanied by the gold plate looks like something your little cousin would whip up in the creation suite back on the old SmackDown vs RAW games in the 2000's. But this is easily fixed.

Adding a number of gems or giving each title holder the chance to add their own personality to the belt with a custom design could serve as a refreshing addition to an otherwise simplistic championship.

#3 WWE could use the 24/7 Championship to showcase future stars

A great way to bring more eyes to the championship would be to utilize WWE's huge roster by showcasing some of their young, promising talent on the main show and over social media.

While feuds are going strong and the main event picture is up and running, avoid stunting the growth of superstars like Austin Theory. Sharing the spotlight with younger stars as they prove themselves defending or chasing the 24/7 Championship against more experienced veterans.

#2 WWE could introduce exciting match-types to the 24/7 Championship

WWE could introduce a wave of unusual and exciting match-types to 24/7 Championship title fights would go a long way in holding the fans' interest during their short segments. Presenting cage matches, ladder matches, backstage brawls, and other special stipulations each week would be an efficient and easy fix for the championship picture.

With the growing expectancy that something wild will happen each time the 24/7 Championship is on the line, interest from fans will skyrocket, which can only be a positive for the WWE.

#1 WWE could look to change the 24/7 Championship to the Open Challenge Championship

Retiring the 24/7 Championship and replacing it with an 'Open Challenge Championship' could add enjoyment to the belt and give us thrilling matchups we otherwise wouldn't get.

The Open Challenge Championship would see RAW, SmackDown, NXT and 205 Live talent randomly appearing on different brands to capture the new strap. But instead of being shown whacky segments, we would be presented with matches that would slot between WWE storyline fights. This will keep fans engaged and on the edge of their seats.

For example, the new title could see an ecstatic Jeff Hardy get his hand raised after being crowned the inaugural Open Challenge Champion. He could then be confronted by the returning Demon Finn Balor just seconds after his victory—the possibilities for breathtaking matchups built on next to no notice are endless.
