Shane McMahon helped Elias to progress in the King of the Ring Tournament
Elias is now the 24/7 Champion after he was able to defeat R-Truth on Monday Night Raw, but the issue with having a regular wrestler as the 24/7 Champion is that they actually have scheduled matches and Shane McMahon has turned off the rules for Elias for two weeks in a row on SmackDown Live now.

The 24/7 Championship has those rules for a reason, they are not there to be taken off and switched whenever the company decides. Jobbers are the ones who were looking to win the title when it was first introduced, so why does Elias even have the title when he's taking a spotlight off a number of other stars.
The Hardcore Championship was available to whoever wanted it at any time, but the 24/7 Championship has already seen the rules changed a number of times to help stars who are in matches as part of that show and can't fight off all of the men who want the title.

Elias isn't someone who should have the Championship, the title needs to be taken much more seriously like the Hardcore title once was, otherwise there's no point in keeping it on TV.
