Every WWE Raw Reunion 24/7 title change ranked from worst to best

The 24/7 Championship has become one of the most entertaining parts of WWE’s current product. R-Truth and Drake Maverick, in particular, have done tremendous jobs in recent weeks of getting people invested in the title. Whether they are invading hotel rooms or running around Comic-Con, there is genuine excitement for the 24/7 segments. This week we got yet another brilliant showcase of 24/7 title shenanigans.

Monday Night Raw was a special reunion episode which meant there were several potential 24/7 Championship contenders around the backstage area. In a series of segments placed throughout the show, we saw multiple successful attempts on the green and gold. When Raw went off air, the title had changed hands nine separate times! But which ones are destined for the highlight reel and which ones deserve to be thrown in the trash?

Here are all nine 24/7 Championship title changes from the reunion ranked from worst to best. Spoiler alert, R-Truth and Drake Maverick are still the MVPs of the division.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#9 Pat Patterson

This wasn’t the worst title change in terms of crowd reaction, but the timing was awkward and Patterson's physical limitations meant that Drake Maverick looked a bit silly. In later incidents of the title changing hands, we saw WWE come up with creative ways to hide the frailties of certain legends. In this effort, however, the age of Patterson was exposed. Drake Maverick fell back over a suitcase after seeing The Boogeyman. That small fall was apparently devastating enough that Pat Patterson could come in, deliver a few stomps and gingerly pin the champion with his foot.

The guys involved weren't at fault here, the segment was just poorly orchestrated and didn't use the great talent to their potential. Seeing The Boogeyman scare Drake Maverick was still highly amusing though.

#8 Candice Michelle

Kelly Kelly, Candice Michelle, Melina, and Naomi were present backstage in this segment

Michelle’s attack on Kelly Kelly was surprisingly aggressive but the crowd didn't really get behind it. Candice won the championship through a pin counted by Melina, who we were informed was a licensed referee for that segment.

If WWE is planning on adding female referees to the main roster this seemed like an odd place to start. It was most likely a one-and-done deal. Other noteworthy moments from this segment included Candice Michelle’s victory dance.

#7 Alundra Blayze

Doubts over the legitimacy of Melina’s referee training were soon put to rest. Alundra Blayze arrived to choke Michelle and Melina called for the tap-out without bias.

Having the title change hands via a choke-hold was clever from WWE, which means the Blayze win is ranked higher than the previous entry. Unfortunately, the live audience was seriously quiet during this one.

#6 Drake Maverick (First Time)

The first of what turned out to be nine 24/7 title changes was pretty standard. But given Drake Maverick and R-Truth have set such a high comedic bar with this championship thus far, that does not mean it was bad. Maverick rolled-up a distracted Truth while Carmella argued with Renee Michelle. There isn't much else to say other than this probably got the biggest pop of all the title changes and was a fun way to kick things off.

#5 Gerald Brisco

This time they covered up Pat Patterson's physical limitations by not filming the actual title change. This was done as Pat Patterson was reportedly not cleared to get physical by WWE, the segment was far smoother as a result. The camera cut to Patterson propped up against an equipment case having just lost the title to Gerald Brisco.

What really made this were Brisco’s hilarious celebrations as he took off down the corridor.

#4 Kelly Kelly

Then Gerald Brisco walked into Kelly Kelly and almost immediately lost the belt... This whole sequence from Pat Patterson to Kelly Kelly was fantastic. Although eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed the referee following Brisco down the corridor, Kelly's low blow still came as a surprise to many.

She deserves credit for what was a convincing performance here, even if some fans think Carmella should have been the first female 24/7 Champion.

#3 R-Truth

The story of R-Truth losing the title only to get it back by the end of the night has been used before, but that doesn't stop it being entertaining. In what was the final title change of Raw Reunion, Truth rolled-up Maverick with an assist from Carmella. Maverick desperately clinging onto his wife to avoid being pinned, and then R-Truth diving into the limo afterward for the escape were both highly amusing moments.

Renee Michelle was also in the limo when they took off, so this means that Maverick had neither his wife nor his title at the end of the night.

#2 Ted DiBiase

Hands up if you saw the belt being thrown into a trashcan spot coming?

Often wrestling stories are predictable because they make sense. In contrast to Sgt. Slaughter coming out with RVD, this clever segment used the history of the legends involved. Ted DiBiase buying the 24/7 title was a great way to include the Million Dollar Man and the whole thing was a joy to watch. There may have been a few blank notes visible, but given this one took place live on the ramp, they can be forgiven.

#1 Drake Maverick (Second Time)

Waiting to see who was going to emerge from Ted DiBiase's limousine was one of the most exciting moments of the show. Following the sound of scuffling and a referee's count, Drake Maverick appeared with the title and seemed genuinely overjoyed to have won again.

Both Maverick and Truth sell the championship as if it really means something and as a result, it really means something to the fans. Plus, they create some very funny television. This was another fine example of the fun that can be had with WWE's most unique title. Here’s to many more 24/7 title shenanigans in the future.
