The 24/7 Title video package WWE ran at the start of the Raw summed up the belt's madcap mayhem rather nicely. The only problem with it is that they accidentally made Elias look like an old fart.

As the narrator said, "senior citizens" had won the title recently, footage played of Pat Patterson, Elias and 'Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase (in that order) proudly holding the comedic championship. This was...weird. It came across like WWE were comparing Eli to ageing veterans.
