5 ways Maria Kanellis could lose her 24/7 Championship

Maria Kanellis is the new 24/7 champion! While she too has to defend the title any time, any place, not many will try and pin her. The issue for the other superstars is that she's pregnant and pinning her has to be done subtly and with care.

Maria won the title after she made her husband lay on the floor and let his pick up the win. Mike Kanellis had escaped from ringside after pinning R-Truth thanks to the help of several other superstars who were around the ring. Truth and Carmella were facing Drake Maverick and Renee Michelle in a Mosh Pit Mixed Match for the 24/7 Championship.

After the match was over, Mike jumped to pin Truth and before anything could happen, other Superstars who were at ringside also jumped on top of them. The referee got the 3-count done and before anybody could realize what had happened, Mike Kanellis was racing backstage to avoid getting pinned.

Now with Maria Kanellis as the 24/7 champion, it is time for the superstars to think a lot more and come up with ways to get the title off her. Here are 5 ways she could drop the title:

#5. Mike Kanellis pins Maria while she's asleep

Maria forced Mike to drop the title to her and now it might be time for him to get the title back. The simplest way he can do it is by pinning her while she is asleep.

All Mike has to do is get a referee into their hotel room and get him to hide somewhere. Or, he could let the referee into the room, in the middle of the night and quietly get the 3-count done.

We have already seen such a scenario when Truth pinned Jinder Mahal while he was asleep on the plane to Saudi Arabia. Déjà vu?

#4. Carmella or Renee become Maria's OBGYN

Maria Kanellis is smart and she knows that she can hold on to the title for a long time because nobody is going to pin her while she's walking around. However, she made a huge mistake on Monday Night Raw.

While she was showing off her title to Titus O'Neil and others right after pinning her husband, she revealed that she will be at her Obstetrician-gynecologist on Thursday. That might be a huge blunder on her part and could cost her the 24/7 title.

It now gives a chance to Renee Michelle or Carmella to pose as the Obstetrician-gynecologist and take the title off her. Maria will be helpless as she will be in the chair and sneaking in a referee wouldn't be a big issue. Maybe we could see Melina back as the referee for the 2nd time in 2 weeks?

#3. Maria hands the title to the 'storyline father'

Who could be the 'storyline father' of Maria's chile?

One thing Maria Kanellis has been constantly hinting is that Mike isn't the father of her child. Him screaming “How can you be pregnant?” when she announced if on Monday Night Raw a few weeks back is also a possible hint in that direction.

While it is still not clear if WWE will be heading that way in the storyline, this 24/7 title reign of Maria could possibly hold the answer. Her dropping the title for the 'storyline father of the baby' just like the way Mike handed her the title could well and truly be the next step in that direction.

While this is very much a possibility right now, it would mean that WWE are back doing proper edgy content – something they have steered clear of in the PG era.

#2. Maria is forced to relinquish the title

Will WWE force Maria to drop the title soon?

It is clear that no one will be attempting to pin Maria Kanellis live on Monday Night Raw, SmackDown Live or 205 Live. It would be a very dangerous thing to do and nobody would want to take such a high risk.

The next best thing for WWE to do would be to force her to relinquish the title as it is something that has to be defended any time, any place. While it is not her fault that nobody is attempting to take the title off her, the issue would be that nobody is able to get it off her because of her pregnancy.

Moreover, WWE cannot have her walking around with the title all the time as the 24/7 championship segments are something that the WWE Universe have loved so far.

#1. R-Truth comes into Kanellis' hotel room

R-Truth has shown that he can do anything to retain or win the 24/7 title. From getting into a box with no ventilation to posing as a lamp when the IIconics were around – has done some crazy things.

One thing people loved was how he hid in the room service trolley and attacked Drake Maverick in his hotel room to get his 24/7 title back. Now, it is time for him to do that once again.

While this is a bit complex to execute, only R-Truth can pull off something like this. There are a few ways he can and here are a few ways:

1. Hides under their bed with a referee and waits for them to fall asleep
2. Hides behind the curtains and pins her when she least expects
3. Comes in with Mike's room service order while Maria is sleeping

The possibilities are endless in this scenario but in all honesty, this might be something WWE will avoid as they have used it very recently.
