Nikki Cross brought Dana Brooke's latest 24/7 Title reign to an end on Raw this week, but it's what the new champion did with the title immediately after that that got fans talking. With Damage CTRL in tow, Cross, who at first appeared to be in a daze over how happy she was to have won a title, attempted to drop her new belt into a bin. It missed and hit the floor, but she carried on walking regardless.

The 24/7 Title Has Been Retired

Fans have been speculating as to whether that means the 24/7 Championship is now gone for good, and if Cross attempting to throw it in the bin was a not-so-subtle hint that the title has been retired. Well, its listing on WWE.com would certainly suggest that's the case. Its time active has been changed from 2019 – Present to 2019 – 2022, strongly suggesting the championship is no more.

Clicking on the title brings up a list of every Superstar to have ever held it, and interestingly, Brooke is still listed as the 24/7 Champion. However, if you scroll down a little further, Cross's name is at the top of the list of champions, but her reign length remains at <1 day despite winning the title three days ago.

What Might Be Next For The 24/7 Title?

Now, there are a few different directions WWE could be going here. First is since Cross immediately threw the title in the bin, the official decision will be that she relinquished it and the title has been returned to Brooke, hence her still being listed as champion. There's also the strong possibility someone finds the title in the bin next week and the lineage continues. Had he not been injured wrestling in NXT, that would have been a role perfect for R-Truth.

The 24/7 Title was introduced more than three years ago by Mick Foley. A more PG version of the Hardcore Championship, hence Foley being chosen to introduce it. Most fans are probably surprised the title lasted three and a half years as for many, the gimmick felt like it had run its course long ago. While there's a slim chance it'll be back, odds are fans have now seen the last of the title Truth won 53 times.
