WWE.com accidentally lists active championship as retired

It's been a busy night for the WWE 24/7 Championship tonight, as well as the long time champion R-Truth.

Not only did WWE ring announcer Mike Rome win (and subsequently lost) the title, but WWE.com - for some reason - listed the belt as "retired".

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com was on it.

And, thankfully, everything righted itself, as evidenced by this tweet:

So... what was this? Just a goof from the WWE.com team, hitting the wrong button or something? Or, was this an accidental preview of what WWE has planned for the fan favorite title?

Let's be fair, it's probably the former. The chase for the 24/7 Championship has proved to be an audience favorite and a fun distraction from the rest of the WWE storylines. It's highly unlikely that WWE plans to retire the title any time soon, much less all of a sudden and, like an RKO, out of nowhere.

Still, you never really know. Vince McMahon can be kind of fickle about these sorts of things and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for him to just up and POOF make the championship go away.
