Angel Garza becomes the new WWE 24/7 Champion

The 24/7 title can be defended at any place and anytime. We have seen the previous instances when it has been put up for grabs at bizarre places from time to time. Similar incident happened when Garza clinched the title.

He pinned R-Truth for a three count to win the title at Tik Tok USA’s New Year’s Eve party live stream. WWE took to their Twitter account and shared the incident. R-Truth, who has had 43 reigns of the 24/7 title was rolled up for the pin by Angel Garza.

Prior to that, the former Cruiserweight Champion had sneaked up on him from behind. New Day members, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston were also at the spot when the bout happened.

Check out the video clip below:

Garza then wished the WWE Universe a ‘Happy New Year’ and rushed away with the title. It was during this chaos that Xavier Woods’ favourite trombone was broken which left him sobbing on the floor.

R-Truth on the other hand would start the new year with empty hands and might have his new year resolution to reclaim the title.

Angel Garza would be a happy man going into the new year with his hands on a brand new title, the WWE 24/7 Championship.

This is for the very first time tha he has held another title apart from Cruiserweight Championship and it is also his first reign as 24/7 Champion.

He took to Twitter as well and reminded the WWE Universe how this is for the second time in his WWE career that he is ending a year with a championship gold with him.

His reign as the Cruiserweight Champion in NXT had ended back in 2019. He unsuccesfully defended the title against Jordan Devlin at the Worlds Collide event.

Following that he made his main roster debut on Monday Night Raw and curently is also a part of the same brand.

Several stars might get a ‘push’ soon

WWE has a plethora of talents in their promotion and it is evident that many deserving talents have failed to get the opportunity of a push. It is not possible for each and every talent to reach the mid or upper card simultaneously and the quantity of the stars have increased.

Now as reported by WrestleVotes, WWE writers have collectively listed some talents who might be pushed in the future and could be successful. It turns out that the stars who were picked were Cesaro, Angel Garza, Chad Gable, Carmella & Peyton Royce.

WrestleVotes reported that “Recently a group of writers was asked to make a list of underutilized talents they felt could shine if given the proper opportunity. Those lists ranged wide, but nearly ALL of them included: Cesaro, Angel Garza, Chad Gable, Carmella & Peyton Royce.”

Current status of the chosen stars on the roster

It is not a surprise to see Cesaro on the list as he is immensely talented in-ring performer and has worked hard over the years. The former WWE United States Champion was speculated to get a push in the past but that did not happen.

He was paired with Paul Heyman previously but failed to reach the top-tier of the company and remained as a mid-carder. However, the Swiss Cyborg shone in the tag-team division Currently, he is teamed up with Shinsuke Nakamura performing on the blue brand.

Another name that has popped up was of Angel Garza, the former Cruiserweight Champion who is currently teasing a storyline involving mystery woman on the red brand.

Chad Gable’s name was included as well whose Shorty G gimmick failed to impress and is likely to form a tag-team with Otis.

Speaking of the women’s division, Carmella was in the list who recently got a gimmick change and is being pushed to challenge Sasha Banks for SmackDown Women’s Championship, whereas Peyton Royce, the former Women’s tag-team champion could be seeing herself in a better position as well.

It is to be seen how Vince McMahon handles the situation.
