5 unexpected WWE Superstars who could become 24/7 Champions

#4 Carmella

This is something that the fans have been anticipating ever since Truth began garnering recognition as a multiple-time 24/7 Champion. Carmella has been on Truth's side throughout his collective runs with the title, and it has made the fans wonder as to when will she get the urge to bag the gold and betray Truth to win the belt.

The betrayal wouldn't even have to be a serious affair, and these two could turn it into a comedy act. With all the crazy things that have happened with the title, expect Carmella to win it somewhere down the line by tricking Truth, hold it for a while, and then drop it back to him either willingly or by some other means.

#3 Rusev

How long has it been since Rusev was last seen on WWE TV? After having a forgettable run as a tag team alongside Shinsuke Nakamura, Rusev has been training to make a comeback. He recently posted a photo on his Instagram story, showing off a new look that is bound to remind you of Robert Roode.

There's no concrete update yet as to when will Rusev make his return. If WWE has plans to bring him back on TV, why not kick it off with a short 24/7 title run? It's not as if Rusev has done anything of note over the course of the past several months.

Rusev's antics with Aiden English have proved that he could pull off a comical angle. A shocking return to win the 24/7 title, followed by him losing the same - ultimately making him snap - could be used to bring back the ruthless villain we saw back in 2014.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
