This week on Monday Night RAW, the WWE unveiled a brand new title.
Deemed the 24/7 Championship, the accolade gets it's name from the 24/7 rule it follows, meaning the champion must be prepared to defend the title anywhere, anytime against anybody.
Already we have seen the effects of this, as inaugural champion Titus O'Neil quickly lost the gold to Robert Roode, who would end up losing the title to R-Truth (who may be thinking it is the European title).
With three title changes already, it's clear that Superstars are clamouring to hold the new gold.
But though there are plenty of contenders already available, there are some outsiders who could shock their fellow Superstars and the fans by winning the gold.
Here are five shocking WWE Superstars who could one day become 24/7 Champion.
#5: Becky Lynch
Money in the Bank 2019 definitely did not go how Becky Lynch would have planned.
Though she retained her RAW Women's title against Lacey Evans, The Man didn't fare as well later on, losing the SmackDown Women's title to Charlotte Flair. Now Becky One Belt, Lynch could return back to her multi-title ways if she was to capture the new 24/7 Championship.
If the belt is like the Hardcore title, then there is no rule against women competing, and what better way for The Man to establish herself as, well, The Man, than to beat her male counterparts for the title.
Winning the new title would only increase the confidence of Lynch, who since unleashing this mean-streak at Summerslam last year, has gone on to become one of WWE's most popular Superstars, regardless of gender.
#4: Shawn Michaels
When Shawn Michaels returned to the ring at last year's Crown Jewel event, rumours circulated that the Heart Break Kid's appearance wasn't a one-off. Despite Michaels only having the one match, some fans speculated on the idea that Michaels could have a handful of matches in 2019.
If true, then the 24/7 Championship could be in the cards for HBK. Last holding gold shortly before his retirement in 2010, The Showstopper would surely be allowed to go at his own pace if he was to win the title, and would definitely be a blast from the past.
Shawn wouldn't even have to hold on to the gold for long, but seeing arguably the greatest Superstar of all time hold one more championship is something many fans have been pining for for years.
#3: Finn Balor
Finn Balor is already riding high as the current Intercontinental Champion, and is in his second reign with the gold. But for as much prestige as the IC title has brought the Extraordinary Man, there's always room for more gold on the Irishman.
Capturing the 24/7 title whilst the Intercontinental Champion would definitely elevate Balor's star even further as the SmackDown Live star continues to be one of WWE's most popular members today.
Even if Balor was to lose the IC title to Andrade at the upcoming Super ShowDown in Jeddah, having him be the 24/7 champion would be a plus.
Simply put, fans love Balor and want to see more of him, and what better way to guarantee more of the former NXT Champion than by giving him a title he has to defend at all times?
#2: Stephanie McMahon
It's been nearly 20 years since the Billion Dollar Princess Stephanie McMahon last held gold in WWE, as she briefly captured the Women's Championship in the early 2000s. With the new 24/7 title being defended much like the old Hardcore title, it seems there are no restrictions on women or even non-full-time Superstars competing.
Stephanie winning the gold (presumably with some assistance), would definitely draw the ire of the fans, but could make for some compelling storytelling. Perhaps McMahon would use her power and authority to keep a stranglehold of the gold, as which WWE Superstar would want to risk drawing the ire of the boss Vince McMahon for attacking his daughter?
In short, a Stephanie title reign could be just what the 24/7 title needs to gain some major prominence and make for a great story.
#1: The Undertaker
Though he is more accustomed to World Championship glory, the Deadman hasn't always been just about the top prize in the WWE. A former Tag Team Champion, The Undertaker did hold the Hardcore championship, capturing the title at Vengeance 2001.
Despite the 24/7 rule being active, few Superstars challenged the then-heel Phenom for the gold simply because of their fear. Having The Undertaker win the new 24/7 title would definitely be unique, and depending on how fans received it, could be one of the biggest moments this year.
And much like when The Deadman eventually lost the Hardcore championship (to Maven, due to interference by The Rock), Undertaker losing the 24/7 title to a young star could definitely give the up-and-comer a huge feather in their cap.
A blast of nostalgia and building a new star in one fell swoop.
