Triple H can immediately strip WWE star of championship now that she has broken a long-standing rule

Triple H is the current chief content officer of WWE. Under his creative leadership, the company is preparing to host the 2026 Royal Rumble Premium Live Event. Amid this, an unexpected twist might unfold as The Game could strip a WWE star of a championship after she broke a long-standing rule. The champion in question here is Jade Cargill.

There's a long-standing rule in WWE concerning champions

The Storm is presently the WWE Women's Champion on the SmackDown brand. She defeated Tiffany Stratton at Saturday Night's Main Event in November to secure the championship. Although it is not strictly followed now, a rule introduced in 2013 required a champion to defend their title at least once within a 30-day or one-month period.

Cargill has yet to defend the Women's Title

This was mainly introduced to strip inactive champions of their titles. Interestingly, Jade recently surpassed 60 days as the Women's Champion but has yet to defend the gold on television. Hence, she has broken a long-standing rule in the company.

Triple H could take action against Cargill

Since Cargill hasn't defended her gold in 60 days, The Game could strip her of the gold ahead of Royal Rumble. Nick Aldis could then announce a tournament to crown a new champion on SmackDown. This could allow a fresh star to hold the gold briefly before The Storm recaptures the gold.

If she is stripped of the gold, Big Jade could wreak havoc in WWE and display a more sinister side of her personality on TV. Cargill's pursuit of the title could be a must-watch program.

It's crucial to note that this scenario is speculative in nature, and there is no confirmation whether this rule still affects champions in Triple H's era. Rest, it will be interesting to see how the Chief Content Officer books Jade Cargill if WWE doesn't strip her of the title.

Fans pointed out a major issue with Triple H's leadership

Triple H's creative regime has witnessed major ups and downs in 2025. Before 2025 concludes, a fan pointed out that The Game has announced five new eras throughout this year.

The Game usually makes such announcements after a stunning return or a massive premium live event, which has the potential to alter WWE's landscape. Many fans on the internet have been mocking the Hall of Famer for seemingly making false promises.

The Road to WrestleMania 42 will start with Royal Rumble 2026. Hence, fans would expect the Triple H-led creative team to start booking compelling storylines and matches.
