Just under 20 years later, Patterson and Briscoe would make cameo appearances on the RAW Reunion special, which would see Patterson pin Drake Maverick to become WWE 24/7 Champion. He would lose the title to Gerald Briscoe, off-screen, later in the night. Patterson winning the 24/7 Championship would make him the oldest Champion in history of WWE, at 78 years old. The record had been previously held by the Fabulous Moolah, during her aforementioned Women's Championship reign in 1999.
