Who became the first WWE 24/7 Champion when the title was introduced in 2019?

Titus O'Neil became the first WWE 24/7 Champion when the title was introduced in 2019.

The championship was unveiled on May 20, 2019, during an episode of Raw by Mick Foley. Its rules allowed the title to be defended at any time and in any place, provided a referee was present. Foley announced the concept as a modern successor to the chaotic spirit associated with WWE’s old Hardcore Championship.

A large group of wrestlers immediately competed in the inaugural scramble. Titus O’Neil won the title after pinning Cedric Alexander on the entrance ramp, becoming the championship’s first holder. The title was designed for frequent changes, often outside regular matches and television segments.

R-Truth later became the division’s most prolific champion, but he was not the inaugural titleholder. The championship was retired in 2022 and was replaced in WWE history by other secondary-title concepts.
