There was a lot of hype leading up to WWE Raw this week, as the company announced ahead of time that Hall of Famer Mick Foley would be appearing on the show to introduce a new title belt.

At the beginning of the third hour, Mick Foley made his way down to the ring, and he cut a passionate promo before unveiling the 24/7 Championship.

Usually the unveiling of a title is a big moment, but the fans in attendance didn’t exactly respond with enthusiasm.

Former WWE Superstar Elijah Burke recently took to Twitter to say he watched the segment 3 times, and couldn’t figure out why the crowd booed.

“Watched the 24/7 Title announcement w/ @RealMickFoley at least 3 times, can’t seem to figure out why the crowd boo’d. Mick’s promo was great, had passion & delivery was on point. Even got in the classic “cheap pop.” I wonder what made the crowd go sour? 🤔 Hmmm~PHS #WWERaw #WWE”

Mick Foley responded by blaming himself and said he felt like he came up short, but he also noted that he thinks the crowd was hoping for the return of the Hardcore Championship.

“Pope – I think the crowd was hoping for the return of the classic Hardcore Title. Thanks for the compliment, but I felt like I came up pretty short on that promo. No one’s fault but my own.”

Foley went on to say that he thinks the title will quickly grow on fans.
