Who Is the Current WWE 24/7 Champion

The WWE officially debuted the 24/7 Championship on the May 20 episode of Monday Night Raw. Similar to the Hardcore Championship from the Attitude Era, the title can be won by any wrestler from any WWE roster at any time in any place as long as a referee counts a wrestler’s shoulders down for a three count. As a result, the reigning champion must be prepared for anything, or at the very least be ready to run at a moment’s notice.

The current 24/7 Champion is Drake Maverick, who is in his third reign. After failing to steal the title from Truth at San Diego Comic-Con, Maverick was able to roll up Truth and win the title thanks to a distraction from his wife, Renee Michelle.

Check out the complete history of the WWE 24/7 Championship below. This list will be updated every time a new champion is crowned.
