Rob Gronkowski won the WWE 24/7 title belt at WrestleMania 36 by pinning his friend Mojo Rawley. Recently, NFL announced that the New England Patriots have agreed to send him to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in exchange for a 4th round pick.

Now, former WWE 24/7 Champion R-Truth has reacted to Gronk's return to NFL. He appeared in a video that was picked up by WWE on FOX and had a message for Gronk.
Congratulations Rob, you're back playing football. You're the man. There's only one problem Rob. You still got the 24/7 Championship. It is mine. I am the rightful owner of that Championship.
Truth further demanded that Gronk give him the title back. He added that he won't stop until he gets back the title and that he knows where Tampa Bay is at. Truth said that he will show up everywhere Rob goes, to get back the title. Check out the video below:
At WrestleMania 36, Truth lost the 24/7 title to Mojo Rawley on night 1. The next night, Rawley was pinned by Gronk for the title. The 24/7 title has become synonymous with Truth, who has won the belt a total of 35 times. Truth's exploits with the belt resulted in WWE garnering a large number of views on its official Youtube channel for weeks on end, back in mid-2019.

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.
