All very silly and reactionary in principle, but it speaks to how successful the concept has been in 2019 that anybody would even give a sh*t about its potential demise at all. With 26-time champion R-Truth as a reliable steward, the title has occasionally brought a sense of fun to dour editions of Monday Night Raw, though the booking of the division seems relative to how serious WWE's creative team takes the rest of the show - when the company are trying to get more acts over, the league takes a backseat and becomes a giant chase scene.

In separate mini-programmes with Jinder Mahal, Drake Maverick and The Singh Brothers, Truth has ensured that the company has a go-to if they have airtime to fill. The prospect of this no longer being the case was enough to worry fans for a few hours, at least.
