10 Weird (But True) Facts For WWE In 2024

10. Potpourri

Let’s dip our toes into the WWE waters of 2024 with some fun, easy trivia that readers can share with friends when gathering to watch Raw, or post on social media to show how smart they are. Either way, there is no shortage of fun little items involving the year that was.

When CM Punk appeared in the Royal Rumble in January, it marked his first televised match in WWE in 10 years and one day. Amazingly, that is a longer stretch between televised WWE matches than Edge (eight years, 10 months) Hulk Hogan (eight years, nine months), and Brock Lesnar (eight years, one month).

In 2023, the men’s singles titles (Undisputed WWE Universal, World Heavyweight, Intercontinental and United States Championships) traded hands just twice (both the US title) combined. During 2024, those same four championships saw nine title changes.

Despite Raw ratings averages being down overall in 2024, the most-viewed show of the year, the Raw after WrestleMania 40 (and its incredible promo battle between The Rock and Cody Rhodes), drew 2.36 million viewers, which was greater than the biggest show of 2023, Raw is XXX, which boasted an audience of 2.34 million.

As infrequent as Roman Reigns’ title defenses were (he defended the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship just 12 times during the last two years he held the title), he doesn’t even come close to the worst offender. When Logan Paul lost the United States Championship at SummerSlam 2024, it ended his reign at 273 days, with just three attempted title defenses. Doing the math, that’s one defense every 91 days, compared to one every 61 days for Roman’s last two years as champ.
