For this year's Clash of Champions event, WWE has announced matches for every possible championship on the main roster, except for the 24/7 title.
R-Truth is the current 24/7 Champion and basically comes across as a brand ambassador for the aforementioned title at this point. Undoubtedly, the 24/7 title shenanigans have resulted in some hilarious moments since 2019.
It's been more than a year since the 24/7 title's inception, and Clash of Champions could mark the beginning of a new era.
The following entries may sound bizarre for anyone who has no idea what the 24/7 Championship represents. So with that in mind, here are five things WWE could do with R-Truth's belt at Clash of Champions.
#5 R-Truth could defend the WWE 24/7 title in a multi-brand gimmick match
R-Truth is currently a Superstar on Monday Night RAW and has been frequently involved with 24/7 title segments. Why? Simply because of the entertainment value he brings to any situation.
The championship can be defended across all WWE brands: RAW, SmackDown, 205 Live, NXT and NXT UK. However, the 24/7 title has mostly been defended on WWE's main roster shows, RAW and SmackDown.
Perhaps it is time that entertaining stars from all brands fight together to win the 24/7 title at Clash of Champions. It doesn't even need to be a proper match, per se. WWE can book something ridiculous like a ThunderDome brawl, where stars from all brands can battle throughout the entire arena.
Being a three-hour show, RAW features 24/7 title segments to fill TV time. The title itself could benefit by changing brands once in a while though. On top of that, R-Truth can always appear on any WWE brand to win his "baby" back, as per the brand invitational rule.
#4 Shelton Benjamin could trick R-Truth with the help of The Hurt Business to become the new WWE 24/7 Champion
Shelton Benjamin became the 100th 24/7 Champion on the July 20th edition of Monday Night RAW. Benjamin joined The Hurt Business as they helped him capture the WWE 24/7 Championship from R-Truth in a backstage segment that night.
If the 24/7 title needs a bit of legitimacy at this point, Benjamin could accomplish the same by pinning R-Truth at Clash of Champions. The Hurt Business and RETRIBUTION's recurring brawls on RAW were an important highlight of the show.
If Benjamin successfully pins R-Truth for the 24/7 title at Clash of Champions, he may have to fend off more goons from RETRIBUTION on next week's episode.
Winning the 24/7 Championship may put a lot of extra heat on Benjamin's tail right now, but The Hurt Business is only booming when all of its members accomplish something noteworthy.
Shelton Benjamin could become an integral part of RAW by kickstarting a new era for the 24/7 title, and that journey may begin at WWE Clash of Champions.
#3 A female WWE star could pin R-Truth for the 24/7 title
It has been thoroughly established that the 24/7 title is not bound by any gender restrictions in WWE. But for the most part, it changes hands between male Superstars in the roster.
From the current generation, Carmella became the titleholder at one point last year and her short reign was succeeded by Tamina. All roads led back to R-Truth anyway.
WWE has aired various interesting vignettes about a "mystery woman" who will debut on Friday Night SmackDown, and fans already know that person is Carmella.
R-Truth and Carmella had an entertaining history as allies, but a repackaged Carmella could dethrone R-Truth as the 24/7 champion at WWE Clash of Champions.
Since there is no telling what WWE has planned in store for The Princess of Staten Island, any woman from the roster could sneak up on R-Truth for the pin at this Sunday's pay-per-view.
The title might benefit from a change of pace right now. If a female star becomes the new 24/7 Champion at Clash of Champions, R-Truth trying to pin a woman without hurting her sounds quite entertaining from a situational comedy perspective.
#2 WWE Superstars from the past could chase R-Truth for the 24/7 title
A few days ago, The Boogeyman may have teased a WWE return with the tweet posted above. Interestingly, if Boogeyman were to get involved with R-Truth at Clash of Champions, it wouldn't be his first rodeo with the 24/7 title.
Most recently, The Boogeyman made an appearance at the RAW Reunion in 2019 where he was involved in a segment with Drake Maverick. Maverick tripped while trying to escape The Boogeyman, which allowed Pat Patterson to pin him for the 24/7 Championship.
Even though Boogeyman has rarely been involved in long-term arcs in recent memory, WWE could change that by booking an entertaining feud where R-Truth tries to escape him on a weekly basis.
But the feud must begin at Clash of Champions, otherwise, a surprise cameo from the aforementioned character is always a good treat for WWE fans.
There were also several reports that Melina could be returning to Monday Night RAW soon. Although she has denied those reports in a defiant manner, WWE icons have always tried to throw fans off their scent while gearing up for a big return.
Similar to the point mentioned in the previous slide, Melina could pin R-Truth at Clash of Champions to shake up the 24/7 Championship scenario. That's if there is a slight chance of her returning to WWE anytime soon.
#1 Akira Tozawa returns on WWE TV and pins R-Truth
Believe it or not, Akira Tozawa, or one of his ninjas, got mauled by a shark in one of the craziest 24/7 title segments so far, which aired during the recent edition of WWE Monday Night RAW.
Luckily for R-Truth, he didn't need to pin the shark to retrieve his 24/7 title, as it simply washed ashore at the end of this segment.
So if Tozawa was temporarily written off TV thanks to this bizarre segment on the beach, any of the other points mentioned in this slide are applicable.
However, stranger things have happened in WWE, and the only way to make this even more bizarre is by booking a Tozawa return at Clash of Champions.
Maybe it was the ninja that got devoured by the shark instead and Tozawa escaped by the skin of his teeth. R-Truth has always had a primary nemesis since the 24/7 title was introduced, and Akira Tozawa has recently filled that role.
Perhaps the best way to encapsulate their rivalry would be to book an over-the-top cinematic match between R-Truth and Tozawa at Clash of Champions. A backstage segment could also happen, but that won't justify Tozawa's miraculous comeback from shark-infested waters.
