Shane McMahon gives R-Truth a break of sorts, as he only has to worry about Elias for the duration of this 24/7 Championship Match, and several Raw and SmackDown Superstars serve as lumberjacks.
In response to R-Truth “ruining” Shane McMahon Appreciation Night last week, the 24/7 Champion was put in a Lumberjack Match against the Superstar he lost and regained the title from last week, Elias. The bout came with a special catch: The Lumberjacks (which included Superstars from Raw and SmackDown LIVE) would not be eligible to pin Truth during the contest.
The match was over in mere seconds when Elias caught Truth with a rollup that secured him the 24/7 Championship. However, with the title’s rules now back in full effect, the lumberjacks immediately tried to zone in on The Living Truth. Elias almost got out of dodge, but Truth caught him on the outside and chased him under the ring with a referee in tow. By the time the two returned to the land of the living, the bell had rung with the official declaring R-Truth the new 24/7 Champion! Truth only had a moment to celebrate though, as the always-persistent Drake Maverick spotted him, and the chase was back on.
