Between one R-Truth 24/7 championship reign and another, tens of WWE Superstars had the chance to hold the title. But only seven of these champions were women.
The 24/7 championship is currently the only title that is not gender-restricted in WWE. Seven women made sure to put their name alongside their fellow male Superstars on its list of champions.
The title gave a chance for some of these female Superstars to hold gold for the first time in years. It also allowed one of them to make some cash by selling it to the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase. Another superstar made history becoming the first-ever pregnant champion in WWE.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Needless to say, the 24/7 Championship has had a memorable run up to this point. Here are the seven female WWE Superstars who have won the 24/7 Championship.
#7 Kelly Kelly was the first-ever female WWE 24/7 Champion
Former WWE diva Kelly Kelly returned to Monday Night RAW on July 22, 2019, to participate in the "RAW Reunion" episode. There, she was in the right place at the right time backstage because she captured the championship.
On that night, the 24/7 title changed hands nine times. It all started during an interview backstage with R-Truth and Carmella. They were interrupted by Drake Maverick's wife, Renee Michelle. Se complained that the duo was ruining her wedding and her husband's life.
Maverick had been chasing R-Truth and the title for several weeks. The latter pinned him to recapture the title during his wedding to Michelle. She then demanded that Truth should allow her husband to pin him for the title.
After a surprising, scary appearance from The Boogeyman, a distracted Maverick was pinned by Pat Patterson. Patterson's title reign was short-lived, as he got pinned off-screen by Gerald Brisco.
While Brisco celebrated his victory in the corridor, he bumped into Kelly. She happily congratulated him and kissed him, but she quickly turned on him. She hit him with a knee to the gut and pined the WWE Hall of Famer to become the first woman ever to win the title. Kelly's reign only lasted for a few minutes before she lost the championship to the next name on this list.
#6 Kelly Kelly lost the WWE 24/7 Championship to Candice Michelle
After Kelly Kelly successfully captured the WWE 24/7 Championship, she went to celebrate with Candice Michelle. The former Women's Champion had been away from WWE TV for nearly a decade, but she finally returned for the "RAW Reunion" episode.
Naomi and former Women's Champion Melina stood by as Michelle congratulated Kelly. The newly crowned 24/7 Champion asked Melina how she was doing. Melina, who had been absent for a few years, told her that she had taken the past few years to get her license. She then revealed a referee shirt under her jacket.
Taken by surprise, Kelly suffered a knee to the stomach from Michelle. A Double Axe Handle to the back earned Michelle a three count. Melina counted the pin to officially crown Michelle as the new champion.
Candice's victory made her a champion in WWE for the first time in 12 years. Her last title run during her active career ended when she lost the Women's Championship to Beth Phoenix in 2007.
#5 Alundra Blayze won the WWE 24/7 Championship by submission
Alundra Blayze is the third-ever female WWE 24/7 Champion. She returned to WWE in 2015 to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Blayze then appeared on a few WWE Network shows before she made a historic return to the ring during a Battle Royal at WWE Evolution.
The three-time Women's Champion was present at the "RAW Reunion" episode alongside Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle, and Melina.
As Michelle celebrated her victory over Kelly, Blayze attacked her from behind and put her in a headlock. The Hall of Famer forced Michelle to tap out, so Blayze won the title. But she made it clear that she would not hold the 24/7 Championship for long.
Blayze took to the announce table in an attempt to recreate her famous scene in WCW when she threw the WWE Women's Championship in the trash. Instead, The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase, interfered and made her an offer to buy the 24/7 Championship. She gladly accepted and turned the title over to him.
Blayze's victory made her a champion nearly two decades after she lost the Cruiserweight Championship in WCW. That was the last belt she had ever held before she retired.
#4 Maria Kanellis was the first-ever pregnant WWE 24/7 Champion
On July 29, 2019, Mike Kanellis successfully pinned the WWE 24/7 Champion R-Truth to win the title. He ran away from the ring because several Superstars were chasing him
As Kanellis locked himself inside the WWE officials' locker room, his pregnant wife Maria played sick. She convinced the wrestlers waiting for her husband outside the room to leave. Maria insisted she had to see her husband, so they decided to clear the place.
Maria ordered her husband to let her in, which he reluctantly did. He told her that he won the championship for them. But she answered by instructing him to lay down on his back. She then called for a referee to come over, and she pinned her husband by putting her leg on his chest.
Maria celebrated being the first-ever pregnant champion in WWE history. (In 2020, Becky Lynch went on to become the second.) She then teased Titus O'Neil, the first-ever 24/7 Champion, and dared him to wrestle her. But he did not respond until she walked away.
The former WWE superstar lost her title to her husband a week later when he pinned her while on the examination table during her OB-GYN appointment.
#3 Carmella is the only two-time female WWE 24/7 Champion
On September 23, 2019, Carmella accompanied R-Truth, the WWE 24/7 Champion, to the ring on Monday Night RAW. She tried to hold off the Superstars who were chasing him. Carmella begged them to stop running after Truth. She stated that she was tired of being chased for four months, and she told her partner that she couldn't it anymore.
As R-Truth hugged Carmella to comfort her, she quickly rolled him up for the pin to capture the 24/7 Championship. Although R-Truth was shocked, he helped her escape when part of the women's locker room ran down to the ring to chase her. Carmella's win was memorable because she was always by Truth's side during his numerous title reigns early in the championship's history.
Carmella lost her championship on WWE SmackDown on October 4 to Marshmello. But she successfully recaptured it on the same night. As Marshmello was getting into his car, he found Truth wearing a similar mask sitting inside. Carmella surprised Marshmello from behind and rolled him up to pin him and regain her lost title.
#2 Tamina smashed Carmella to capture the WWE 24/7 Championship
During a Street Profits promo at WWE Hell in a Cell 2019, R-Truth and Carmella ran into Montez Ford. The returning Tamina took advantage of a distracted Carmella. She rolled the reigning 24/7 Champion up for the pin to capture the title.
After she won the gold, Tamina had a face-off with Tyler Breeze, who was after the title himself, but she pushed him and ran away.
The Samoan wrestler was chased by R-Truth to the international commentary tables. There, she used Funaki as a human shield. Tamina then pushed Funaki at Truth and attempted to leave. Instead, she received a kick to the face from Carmella, who then urged Truth to cover her and recapture the title.
Although Tamina had been with WWE for nearly a decade, the 24/7 Championship was the first title she had ever held in her career. It remains the only title that she has held in WWE. She's currently chasing more gold with her ally, Natalya on WWE SmackDown.
#1 Alicia Fox was the first-ever female African American WWE 24/7 Champion
Alicia Fox returned to WWE to participate in this year's Women's Royal Rumble Match. She entered the rumble at number 21. Shortly thereafter, R-Truth, the 24/7 Champion, followed her to ring. He was being chased, as usual, by a band of WWE Superstars.
After she helped him fend off this crowd, Fox took advantage of Truth's distraction. She rolled him up for the pin to win the title to become the seventh female superstar to hold the 24/7 Championship. Unfortunately for her, she was eliminated from the Royal Rumble a few seconds later by Mandy Rose.
As soon as she was eliminated, Truth quickly rolled Fox up for the three count to recapture the gold. Although it was short-lived, Fox's title reign was the second title run in her career. She won the Divas Championship in 2010.
Fox made history by winning the 24/7 Championship because she became the first-ever female African American to hold the gold. Likewise, she was the first and only African American Divas Champion.
