#2. Jim Ross is not a fan of the WWE 24/7 Championship

The WWE 24/7 Championship, introduced back in May 2019, has changed hands over 150 times in a series of comedy segments.

Jim Ross recently criticized the belt's design on his Grilling JR podcast. The veteran commentator called the 24/7 Championship worse than its predecessor — the WWE Hardcore Title. Interestingly, Ross wasn't a massive fan of the latter belt either.

Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.

"It was just another watered-down championship (Hardcore title), and now it's even worse. The 24/7 title, right? That's hideous. It's not even realistic. It has had so many champions, you can't name them all," admitted Jim Ross.

WWE's Hardcore Championship is now a defunct title. Established in November 1998, it remained an active belt until August 2002. Many legendary names held the championship throughout their tenures in the company, including The Undertaker.

The Deadman won the gold back in December 2001 and had a 58-day run with it. Jim Ross also said on his podcast that he didn't think The Undertaker needed that reign, as the latter was already an established name at the time.
