While the WWE 24/7 Championship has been an entertaining piece of Raw, the title doesn’t really conform to a PPV as easily, as most of the action is in-ring, and the 24/7 title tends to change hands everywhere else.

But WWE made it fun Sunday night, with champ R-Truth and Carmella fleeing Drake Maverick several times. First, they hid under the commentators’ desk during the kickoff show, while Maverick searched desperately for them. Later, Big E & Xavier Woods attempted to fire up Kofi Kingston by introducing local superstar Drake… Maverick. It was silly, but it worked just fine.

Even later, Truth & Carmella turned up as part of the international announcers, which is something only Truth could get away with. By the time Drake got up there, it was too late. Look for more of this to continue on Raw.
