Steve Cook’s Top 5 Possible Locations For 24/7 Title Defenses!
WWE has brought us the 24/7 Championship. A golden goose, a blessing of wholesome fun…but now where else can the shenanigans go down? Steve Cook gives us some options!
WWE has brought us the 24/7 Championship. A golden goose, a blessing of wholesome fun…but now where else can the shenanigans go down? Steve Cook gives us some options!
After a bumpy beginning, WWE’s 24/7 Championship is starting to find its groove. Superstars like R-Truth, Drake Maverick, Elias & others are bringing the “entertainment” to “sports entertainment”. and the results so far have been tremendous. We all like a little levity from time to time in our wrestling viewing, and this championship is bringing exactly that.
The 24/7 Champion is never safe, not even while trying to enjoy a round of golf.
The possibilities are endless. Where can the 24/7 Championship be defended next? I took a look at WWE’s touring schedule over the next couple of months, and here are my Top 5 Potential Locations for 24/7 Title Defenses. I attempted to limit it to places that they could feasibly shoot things at anyway. Sure, I could talk about how great a title defense in Antarctica or on the moon would be, but neither are on WWE’s road schedule.
5. Tootsie’s

Nashville, Tennessee will host a WWE house show on Saturday, July 27. As anybody with a passing knowledge of Nashville & wrestling knows, Tootsie’s is the favored hangout of any wrestlers passing through the area. WWE has featured the venue on its television shows numerous times. The show at Bridgestone Arena won’t be making television or WWE Network, but there’s no reason video of a 24/7 title change or two taking place in a crowded Tootsie’s after the event couldn’t appear on various social media outlets.
4. Steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum

Extreme Rules takes place in Philadelphia on July 14 at the Wells Fargo Center. With Philly’s hardcore wrestling history, it would only make sense for the Hardcore Championship’s spiritual successor to change hands a time or two there. There’s no shortage of possible locations within Philadelphia, but one stands out.
I’d like to see somebody score a pinfall with the Rocky Balboa statue in the background, then run up the steps in celebration. Preferably wearing a tracksuit, though if Jinder Mahal wants to go full gear I’m not going to stop him.
3. Burj Khalifa

It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of the whole WWE/Saudi Arabia relationship. I’ve talked about this before, there’s no real need to delve into it again. With that being said, there’s still plenty of potential for entertaining 24/7 stuff during WWE’s trip to the Middle East. I don’t think I’d pull anything in Mecca, as the ramifications of running a wrestling angle at a Muslim holy site could be steep. The most interesting spot to me for a title change isn’t in Saudi Arabia itself, but the neighboring United Arab Emirates.
Burj Khalifa is the tallest existing structure in the world, standing at an astounding 2,722 feet. That’s over a thousand feet taller than the Sears Tower, which I remember being the world’s tallest building when I visited it. I don’t know how high up people are allowed to go in Burj Khalifa, but a 24/7 title change at the highest point possible would certainly make wrestling history.
2. The White House

WWE’s running a house show in Washington D.C. on July 6th. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t pitch this as an idea as the odds of the Secret Service letting a wrestling angle go off without a hook seem pretty long. However, I understand that Vince McMahon may have some friends in high places that could get the okay on this.
You don’t even have to make it political. Have R-Truth take the official White House Tour and get attacked by Drake Maverick or whoever. Simple enough, assuming the right people get the okey doke.
1. The U.S./Mexico Border

Is there a more controversial place in North America right now than the border between the United States & Mexico? The whole business with the proposed wall, potential tariffs, and general disdain from a certain percentage of the American public towards their neighbors to the south, not to mention all the detainees shipped to various parts of the country with little rhyme or reason.
WWE’s running San Diego on June 16. That’s close enough to the border for some shenanigans, right? They ran an angle with JBL shooing illegal immigrants away before. It’s not like it would be the first time. If WWE wants to get some attention, shooting an angle on the border would be a way to do it.

Chris King: Is Brock Lesnar Truly Retired?
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…
At WrestleMania 42, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar took off his boots and gloves following his loss to Oba Femi. Lesnar has done it all inside of his twenty-four-year career in professional wrestling. He’s a ten-time WWE Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he’s one who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
While Lesnar was in the ring, he was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and crying while he thanked the fans in his own way. The Beast even threw up an x to signal to Paul Heyman, his longtime friend and advocate, that this was not scripted and was real. There had been rumors that Lesnar and Oba were supposed to have a series of matches before everything went down at Mania.
‘The Career Killer’ Gunther was doing Heyman’s bidding as he faced Seth Rollins for a favor. For a while now since Gunther retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, the rumor has been Gunther was set to retire Lesnar in his hometown at this year’s SummerSlam event. There’s been no confirmation if Lesnar is truly retired, but on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Heyman talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Later that night following Rhodes’ match against the debuting Ricky Saints, Gunther choked out the WWE Champion. Could this be the favor from Heyman?
I know in the world of professional wrestling we live by the mantra of “never say never,” but what if Lesnar is actually retired and this was WWE’s way of shutting down those rumors about Gunther and Lesnar? What if Gunther’s next program is chasing after the WWE title, and where is Randy Orton at in all of these plans? There are so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully soon!

Chris King: Defend The Intercontinental Championship At Backlash!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!
This year’s annual Backlash showcase is only a few days away, and while there are many big matches announced, one that definitely should be isn’t on the card. In my opinion, outside of Roman Reigns/Jacob Fatu and Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker, the Intercontinental Championship scene has been stellar over the last month.
Penta has been an excellent champion, especially after his triumphant title defense in a ladder match against JeVon Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, and the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. Their ladder match at Mania was one of the best that WWE has produced in a while.
The momentum never stopped, as on the post-Mania episode of Monday Night Raw, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page made his debut and was quickly inserted into the Intercontinental title scene. Page had a fantastic showing against his longtime NXT rival Evans and picked up a big win in his debut match thanks to an assist from Rusev.
All Ego immediately joined forces with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, who was also vying for the Intercontinental Title in his own right. On this week’s episode of Raw, Page and Rusev defeated Evans and Penta. All Ego pinned the champion, making a huge statement and putting him one step closer to getting a title shot. For the past few weeks I’ve been anxiously waiting to see if WWE was going to add this incredible fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, but it hasn’t happened yet.
As much as the WWE Universe enjoys witnessing great matches on free television, I truly believe all four superstars deserve the chance to showcase their talents on the PLE. While Penta has done a terrific job as the intercontinental champion, it’s time for a fresh face to hold the prestigious title. Page would make a great braggadocious heel that would help elevate the Intercontinental Championship to new heights!
