The WWE 24/7 Championship has one of the wildest concepts WWE has come up with in the last few years. The title was introduced in May of 2019 by Mick Foley. So far, there have been a combined total of 131 title reigns, which is more than any other Championship in WWE.

The WWE 24/7 Champion can be contested at any time anywhere as long as there is a referee around. The title has a wild history and many different Superstars and even non-wrestlers have held the championship. The most title reigns belong to R-Truth who is currently on his 46th reign as the WWE 24/7 Champion.

Truth is a name synonymous with the title. Fans also recall some other multiple-time champions such as Drake Maverick and Akira Tozawa but there have been some of the names that might not pop up into memory so quickly. So let's take a look at five stars you may have forgotten won the WWE 24/7 Championship.


#5 WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson

Pat Patterson is a WWE legend. He is most famous for being the first WWE Intercontinental Champion and the originator of the Royal Rumble Match. Over the years, he has been lauded for his great contributions to the professional wrestling industry. Patterson is a legend in the business but one of his accomplishments has been rather forgotten about.

Patterson won the 24/7 title in July of 2019 when the champion Drake Maverick tripped as he was running away from the Boogeyman. Pat took advantage of this situation and pinned Maverick to win the 24/7 Championship. His reign did not last long as he dropped the belt to another legend, Geral Briscoe moments later.

#4 Kyle Busch as a guest on WWE RAW

Kyle Busch was never a WWE Superstar. Busch is a regular NASCAR racer and is known to have won multiple championships in that field. He achieved celebrity status by being so exemplary in racing. Busch is a two-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion and has twice won the Best Driver award.

Busch happens to be a WWE fan and was in attendance during the 12th February 2019 edition of RAW. The WWE 24/7 Champion R-Truth took the opportunity and invited Kyle Busch to celebrate with him not knowing that the Nascar driver had arrived that night to leave with a title around his waist.

Kyle Busch had all the reason in the world to celebrate that night. Later on in the episode, Busch was celebrating with his friend during a photoshoot. R-Truth capitalized on the opportunity that was presented before him and regained the WWE 24/7 Championship.

No one would have expected NASCAR champion Kyle Busch to ever hold the WWE 24/7 Championship. Even though it's monumental, rarely does anyone mention or remember the NASCAR driver's title win.

#3 Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Kane

Kane, aka Glenn Jacobs, has had a long and illustrious career in WWE. He has set countless records and has won multiple championships during his time with the company. The Big Red Machine gimmick was a huge success for him as his intimidating and strong figure made him one of the most popular Superstars of all time. Kane is currently the Mayor of Knox County.

This, however, did not stop him from winning gold in WWE. In September of 2019, RAW came to Tennessee, and Kane, being the hospitable mayor that he is, took R-Truth for a short tour. They ended up in the Neyland Football Stadium where Kane rolled up Truth to become the WWE 24/7 Champion.

Mayor Glenn Jacob's reign was a short-lived one but he has still added his name to the list of WWE 24/7 Champions. He is the first mayor ever to win a Championship in WWE. History was made that day.

#2 WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase (The Million Dollar Man)

Ted DiBiase was the first person to play the role of a rich heel in WWE. He was an absolute star at his time inspiring many generations of wrestlers. The Million Dollar Man even headlined a WrestleMania IV.

His last title reign in WWE was with the WWE 24/7 Championship. After Madusa had won the title during the RAW Reunion episode in 2019, she threatened to put the belt in a trash can. The Million Dollar Man came out and won the title by buying the 24/7 Championship from his fellow WWE Hall Of Famer.

DiBiase celebrations would be cut short by Drake Maverick who ambushed him inside a limousine.

#1 Santa Claus on an episode of WWE RAW in 2019

Arguably the wildest title change that has ever happened in the history of WWE was Santa Claus winning the 24/7 Championship. It was Christmas season and R-Truth and Akira Tozawa found themselves chasing each other through the streets of New York when they bumped into Santa.

He analyzed the situation and took matters into his own hands when he clocked Tozawa with his gift sack and covered him to win the WWE 24/7 Championship during the 24th December 2019 edition of RAW.

This was one of the craziest moments in recent WWE history. Fans were confused but found it extremely amusing.

However, Santa Claus did not get to hold the title for long. Later that night, he became tired of getting chased around the streets. Santa came to a stop and was quickly pinned by Truth.

The identity of the man in the Santa Claus outfit was later revealed and it was an indie wrestler named Bear Bronson.
