Every WWE Title Change Of 2019 (So Far)

We Were The Champions

The 24/7 Championship, save for its woeful introduction, has been a pleasant surprise of such unexpected creative and commercial success that it warrants a list like this dedicated solely to it. It's going to get one at the end of the year too, justified entirely by the mad adventures of Drake Maverick et al since its early-summer inception. R-Truth, bizarrely, will feature prominently there and here.

Indeed, belts have changed hands enough in 2019 that the steward of the insane new division was at one point trusted with one of the more legitimate secondary straps. Keeping tabs on title lineages was once the stock-in-trade of a dreadful nerd such as your writer, but assembling this list alone took more research than it would have to document every WWE Championship switch between Hulk Hogan in 1984 and...Hulk Hogan in 2002.

They're not "belts" as per Vince McMahon (up until one Champion on this list was able to sell t-shirts with the term), but they are, regrettably, props. Passed around with too little care, many of these switches shouldn't already be forgotten, but here's a guide (as of writing, at least) to act as a halfway house reminder for 2019. Expect the full and final collection in December - it'll take as many months to collate those, too.

27. January 14th - BOBBY LASHLEY Vs Dean Ambrose (c) Vs Seth Rollins (Intercontinental Championship)

Bobby Lashley's rarely been a breath of fresh air since returning to WWE in 2018, but his insertion in the hideous Seth Rollins/Dean Ambrose programme at least ensured the Intercontinental Title would no longer be stained by their internally obliterated anti-chemistry.
