Mayor Glenn Jacobs def. R-Truth to become the new 24/7 Champion; R-Truth reclaimed the title later in the day

Raw is in Tennessee tonight, so who better to pay a visit than the Mayor of Knox County, Tenn., Glenn Jacobs? The strangely familiar elected official was even happy to take 24/7 Champion R-Truth on a tour of the town, despite what turned out to be some well-founded suspicion from Carmella. As it turned out, Mayor Glenn used his clout to ordain a local policeman as a referee and was therefore able to pin Truth after the champ inadvertently KO’d himself while trying to flee. With Truth knocked loopy by his collision with the goalposts of Neyland Stadium, Mayor Glenn quickly covered his now-opponent to win the 24/7 Championship.

Yep. He’s still got it, but he didn’t keep it for long. Truth followed Mayor Glenn back to the arena by clinging to the roof of his limo and ambushing him with a surprise rollup to reclaim the title. And while Mayor Glenn — or, "Mr. President," as Truth called him — seemingly let his inner demons get the best of him when he grabbed Truth for an evident Chokeslam, the champ calmed him down with an oddly poetic defense of the title: As is the case with being a mayor, holding that title is a 24/7 job. And at the end of the day, the two are more similar than they are different. It did the trick, too, calming Jacobs down enough for him to walk side-by-side with Truth to Raw. After all, as far as he’s concerned, Raw is home.
