Arguably the wildest title change that has ever happened in the history of WWE was Santa Claus winning the 24/7 Championship. It was Christmas season and R-Truth and Akira Tozawa found themselves chasing each other through the streets of New York when they bumped into Santa.

He analyzed the situation and took matters into his own hands when he clocked Tozawa with his gift sack and covered him to win the WWE 24/7 Championship during the 24th December 2019 edition of RAW.
This was one of the craziest moments in recent WWE history. Fans were confused but found it extremely amusing.
However, Santa Claus did not get to hold the title for long. Later that night, he became tired of getting chased around the streets. Santa came to a stop and was quickly pinned by Truth.
The identity of the man in the Santa Claus outfit was later revealed and it was an indie wrestler named Bear Bronson.

While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.
If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.
When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
