It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and the holiday season just got even better for Akira Tozawa. Though he has struggled since joining WWE RAW, he won the WWE 24/7 Championship on this week’s episode. When R-Truth went to Rockefeller Center a few weeks too late to see the lighting of its famous Christmas tree, Tozawa capitalized on the champion’s confusion.
