7 Unanswered Questions With WWE's Upcoming Draft

5. How Will The 24/7 Championship Be Defended?

The 24/7 Championship has either been one of the best or one of the worst things to happen to WWE in 2019, depending on your opinion on the title that can change hands anywhere at any time.

Either way, it's been a big part of WWE's programming since its inception in May and has already changed hands a whopping 58 times in that period. SmackDown Superstar R-Truth recently regained the gold from Tamina at Hell in a Cell last Sunday, making himself a 20-time champion in the process.

WWE probably doesn't see the belt as a top priority, which would explain why no thought has been put into how the championship is going to work once the Brand Split rules go back into effect. The most likely solution would be to have the champion defend on both brands, but it can be argued that the 24/7 Championship isn't worth breaking the barrier between brands for.

It's possible that it's made exclusive to one show, but then it wouldn't be fair to the Superstars of the other show. However, it means so little that surely those Superstars wouldn't mind.

In a perfect world, the 24/7 Championship would be deactivated following the Draft to avoid confusion, but based off how well any segment involving the title does on social media, it's safe to say that option isn't in the cards.
