While everyone was chasing Robert Roode for the 24/7 title, R-Truth wound up outsmarting everyone. The rapping superstar had a car and let Roode hide in the trunk, he then told the rest of the stars that Roode had ran in the other direction. This was enough to catch Roode off guard afterwards, and Truth quickly pinned him to win the belt.
It was fun while it lasted, @RealRobertRoode.

For those counting, R-Truth is the third champion so far. Titus O’Neil won it first and then Roode held it.

This also makes Truth the first person to hold both the WWE Hardcore and 24/7 belts.
