en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironman_Heavymetalweight_ChampionshipHave whoever has this title beat R-Truth and absorb the 24/7 title into the Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship. It’s apparently already absorbed another title before. Then have R-Truth look sad for a minute or so, then finally realize he’s free and lets it go.

I don't want it to retire.
I know I'm in the small minority but I still enjoy it

I’d say whoever’s holding it throw it in the trash then have Hacksaw Jim Duggan walk by and be like “nah, I’m good” and walk away

have brock win it, then have everyone decide it's not worth getting mauled after a few make attempts at winning it from him.
I still think the 24/7 championship has a place/use on the shows, they just need to get away from the winning it by roll up trope they have beaten into the ground worse then we do with jokes here.

I still think there's a grain of gold hidden in this turd if they chose to polish it.
My idea for salvaging the 24/7 title without changing how it works would be that the usual shenanigans continue, BUT a couple of times a year at their big special events, they announce ahead of time that the 24/7 champ gets a buy into whatever they have coming up. Like 3 weeks ahead of the MITB they announce that the 24/7 champion will be in the match, whoever that may be at the time, or the next time they have a contender's tournament for either of the top titles, the 24/7 champion automatically gets a buy into the quarterfinals, or at the next Rumble the champion gets an automatic #25-30 draw. All of a sudden all the 24/7 geeks go into a mad scramble and things get way more intense and the viewers have a reason to care about who the champion is because they might to get see them move up the card.
Of course all of that would require long term planning, so it's pretty much impossible.

Since it was Mick Foley who introduced the title in the first place (in story line) they should retire the belt by leaving it in a flaming paper bag on his doorstep.

Is Rosenburg still the Champ or has Truth already won it back?

There's only one way to retire the 24/7 title: R-Truth loses it to a ghost. For a couple weeks afterwards he and some low carders and a series of alumni do supernatural stuff to find the ghost so he can get his belt back. Seances. Exorcists. One week Papa Shango does a ritual with several people accidentally affected with black goo. The next week the Boogeyman tries hitting it with his clock only to accidentally smash the people who had just recovered from the black goo incidents. Hell, hire Ernie Hudson to come in as Winston Zeddmore, Ghostbuster suit and all. Finally, as everyone's sitting around a ouija board, the ghost reveals itself, and speaks its name to R-Truth. R-Truth: "Your name is.....Chris?.......Chris Ben--  OH HELL NO, SON, I'M DONE WITH THIS SHIT." And they all walk away and it's never ever brought up again. |

The best way to retire it is to do like Stan Hansen and run over it with a truck

Have the belt become sentient.
Truth decides it's not worth all the hassle and decides to get rid of the belt. He hands it off to some production assistant backstage, and says, "Its your curse now."
The next morning, Truth wakes up and does his routine. He walks to his front door to check the weather, and when he opens the door, the 24/7 title is sitting there waiting for him.
He tries to give it away multiple times, but it always comes back. He tries to bury the belt, but it's already been buried more than the Universal title. Fire doesn't work. Gun doesn't work. Calling it names, nope! The belt will not leave Truth alone.
Truth takes it to an exorcist. The exorcist claims that there is a soul trapped within the belt. A troubled and young soul. The exorcist asks Truth if the name "Jimmy" means anything to him?
Scared to death Truth runs, steals a car and begins to drive. After what feels like hours, Truth looks in his rearview mirror, and there's the title in the exorcist's car, gaining on him. There is a high-speed chase until it smashes into the back of his car, forcing them off the rode and crashing horrifically.
Truth pulls himself out of the wreckage, hurt but alive. He sees the 24/7 belt standing on the remains of it's wrecked and burning vehicle, staring at him, as if to say, "We are one!"
Truth sighs and laughs. He ponders his life, and all the craziness he's been through throughout his long career. He looks up at the belt with tears in his eyes, he lights a cigarette and states out loud, "I retire."
The belt begins to spaz out. It contorts in on itself, and vanishes in a flash, leaving this plane of exsistance.
Truth lays on the ground, an ambulance wails in the distance. He looks up at the sky, and says, "It's finally over."
A buzz comes from his pocket, as his phone rings. He pulls it out without looking at the ID.
"Hello?" Truth asks.
"Truth! Good God, man! I've been trying to reach you for weeks. Look everyone has COVID, the bunch of babies, and we need an act in Saudia Arabia. How would you like your own one man show? It will pay millions!" asks Vince McMahon, owner of the WWE.
Truth laughs to himself, and thinks, "Well, retirement was nice while it lasted."
"There's just one catch," Vince continues, "We also want to incorporate the 24/7 title into the entire act too. You and that belt should be inseparable! Millions! Haha!"
Truth screams!

The best way to do it is to end it with an hour long feature film on Peacock similar to Rat Race where the group chases R-Truth throughout the country. Ends with John Cena showing up to help R-Truth keep the 24/7 Title and they run off into the sunset together. R-Truth retires after that, too.

I'd rather have 90 second R-Truth segments go on forever. Trust me, those 90 seconds aren't going to be given to 5 star matches in the Tokyo Dome. Those 90 seconds saved just means 1 extra kick-out and a headlock for a random filler Ziggler match. Or those 90 seconds would be used for another RAW RECAP of something that happened 15 minutes earlier that we've already seen recapped twice.
