MORE ON WWE'S NEWEST TITLE

By Mike Johnson on 2019-05-20 19:14:00

The new title that will be introduced tonight by WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley is expected to be named the "24/7 Championship" and will feature aspects of the old WWE Hardcore title in that it can be defended anywhere, at any time, on any brand.

The original Hardcore title was introduced in 1998 as a vehicle for Mick Foley with the 24/7 rule added later after the late Crash Holly captured the title, allowing for title defenses and changes to be filmed in all sorts of unique locations and for endless title changes on WWE TV and live events. 

The Hardcore title was active (and had countless title changes) until October 2002 when the belt was unified into the Intercontinental Championship, at the time held by Rob Van Dam, when Van Dam defeated Tommy Dreamer on Raw.
