Leave it to the 24/7 Championship to be the recurring joke throughout Raw that actually worked.

With countless legends and Hall-of-Famers backstage for the reunion show, WWE figured out a great way to use many of them, having several get their hands on the 24/7 Championship, if only for a few minutes.

After Drake Maverick pinned R-Truth, Pat Patterson took advantage of a frightened Drake (due to the Boogeyman). Gerald Brisco won the title, but Kelly Kelly kneed him to take it from him. Kelly lost to Candice Michelle, who tapped out to Alundra Blayze (with referee Melina calling those title changes). Blayze threatened to drop the 24/7 title into the trash (ala the WWF Women’s Championship), but Ted DiBiase bought it off him.

Drake won the title back inside DiBiase’s limo, but Truth would get it back at the end and drive off in the limo – with Maverick’s wife Renee Michelle still inside.

Now that was a fun story to follow, and a good way to use many of the “minor” legends in attendance.
