#5 Sol Ruca

On RAW after SummerSlam, Sol Ruca defeated Roxanne Perez via disqualification in a singles match. Since moving to the main roster, Ruca has been booked decently. She won the Women’s IC title but recently lost it to Raquel Rodriguez on the red brand.

According to a report from Self Made Pro, some WWE higher-ups weren’t very impressed with Sol Ruca’s in-ring work so far. During her time in NXT, the young female star was known for executing great in-ring moves, but she has been criticized for several apparent in-ring mistakes on the main roster.

Losing the IC title could be a hint that Triple H may have given up on her. The Game might give her another chance if she shows signs of improvement in her matches.

#4 Gunther

Gunther locked horns with Nick Aldis on the first night of SummerSlam and defeated The National Treasure in his WWE in-ring debut. Later, on Night 2, he was added to the No. 1 contender’s match for the Undisputed title but failed to emerge victorious.

This isn’t the first time The Career Killer has fallen short in the world-title picture. He has been struggling in the main-event scene on SmackDown. A few months back, the former Imperium Leader was booked as a dominant force on WWE television and retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles.

Despite these major victories, his recent struggles indicate that Triple H may have given up on him, especially following SummerSlam.

#3 Trick Williams

Trick Williams is no longer the United States Champion. The former NXT Champion lost the title to Baron Corbin at the Biggest Party of the Summer. Following this, the 32-year-old star challenged the Lone Wolf to a rematch on SmackDown but failed to get the title back on his shoulders.

Losing the title and failing to reclaim it in the rematch could suggest that WWE and Triple H have given up on him and that his singles push has ended, at least for now.

#2 WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green

Though Chelsea Green won the Interim WWE Women’s Championship Ladder Match in the recent PLE, it still appears that the Cerebral Assassin has given up on her.

Despite being the Women’s Champion, the Hot Mess was on the losing side of a tag team match on WWE SmackDown after SummerSlam. Additionally, after the match, Nia Jax and Lash Legend attacked Green and Tiffany Stratton.

This poor booking as the title holder is concerning and subtly hints that WWE’s CCO may have already given up on her.

#1 AAA Mega Champion Dominik Mysterio

Dominik Mysterio is the AAA Mega Champion and a member of The Judgment Day on RAW. In the Lucha Libre promotion, Dirty Dominik is being booked as a massive attraction and a main-event star.

However, his booking under the Triple H creative regime has been declining over the past few months. A report from Self Made Pro claimed that Dom Dom is frustrated with his booking.

The report also claimed that he is unhappy with the disparity between his WWE and AAA booking. Despite his frustration, the King of Kings continues to book him week after week, although the contrast with his AAA presentation could suggest that the CCO has cooled on him creatively.
