Mojo Rawley's stint as champion was short-lived after Rob Gronkowski capitalised on a chaotic chase to pin Rawley for the 24/7 championship. The former NFL star ended up jumping off a small balcony into a large group of wrestlers who were chasing after Rawley for the title. As per WWE, the 24/7 title, as the name suggests, can be defended anywhere at any time of the day. After the chaos settled, it was Gronkowski who walked away with his first WWE title.

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter, NASCAR driver Kyle Busch and DJ Marshmello are among the non-wrestlers to have lifted the 24/7 championship in the past.
