R-Truth is now a 48-time 24/7 Champion
After getting the title back from Rosenberg and Alicia Fox, R-Truth is now a 48-time champion. This is a record in itself, as no one in the history of world wrestling would have this many title reigns.
R-Truth became best known for his comic timing. Many believe WWE inaugurated this title as a running gag for the main roster, but Truth took its reins and made it into one of the most popular segments on RAW.

“Wrestling is supposed to be fun, and this belt is entertaining. Entertaining people is what I’m supposed to do, and I love on-the-spot thinking. Vince has me come up with my own ideas, and that’s easy for me to do because I love making people laugh,” R-Truth reiterated.
