Its not been seen since Tozawa won it 5 weeks ago. Nor has Tozawa OR R-Truth iirc. The IC title comments are a bit weird as it is actually one of the most pushed titles in the company this year - half the storylines on Smackdown focus around it or people wanting it, and its been defended quite regularly. I put this down to WWE fatigue, too many belts, and the traditional black hole of RAW distracting anything of note on Smackdown tbh... I guess it's just cause APOLLO! is just generally not interesting? He's never allowed to get clean wins so it's hard to care about him when he wrestles. It's the same issue Owens had as Universal Champion.

The 24/7 title needs to be replaced with a championship that Andre the Giant wanted over 30 years ago: (broken English parody swearing inside)

You asked, and they delivered.
For real though, how can they still be doing the exact same things with this after all this time?

I hope the live crowds boo the shit out of all of it. How long have they been doing the same joke for?

The 24/7 title is good for some cheap comedy which can be a thrill for younger kids - think Benny Hill.
However, the overall treatment of the titles (all of them - ALL OF THEM) has been absolutely atrocious and speaks to how poorly the creative side is treating the product. It's possible disengagement between the writing team and Vince or whoever's in charge; but it's almost certainly a case of someone really making a dog's dinner of the entire enterprise and nobody is communicating.

I feel like people hate this title way more than is necessary.
But then I don't watch the show!

Good question. Where is the Intercontinental Championship? (No, really, who's the freaking IC champ?) ...hi, guys. Thank you all for reminding me that it was Apollo Crews. But, uh... I have to confess something. I thought the IC Title was on Raw, and the US Title was on SmackDown. Which means I'm doubly baffled on who the heck the US Champ even is right now.

I can't believe how much more worthless it seems than the Hardcore Championship did. Is it because there was a year and a half of it being treated like a normal title? Is it because there were still regular title defenses booked instead of nothing but backstage skits? Because it was held by wrestlers like Steve Blackman, RVD, and Jeff Hardy as if it was a prize and the writing team treated it that way?
Could you imagine a major match for the 24/7 Title like RVD vs. Jeff Hardy or Undertaker vs. RVD?
The only way to salvage the 24/7 Championship IMO is to do a 10 year anniversary of R-Truth headlining a PPV with Cena. Have him become a challenger to Lashley, with a title vs. title match. Then after becoming both WWE World Champion and 24/7 Champion, Lashley tosses the 24/7 belt in the trash.
Unlike the WCW Television Championship, I would be cheering for that.
