Let’s look at five WWE stars who flopped as world champion because of Triple H:

#5. Jade Cargill

When Jade Cargill arrived in WWE, she was the hottest prospect in the women’s division and fans wanted to see her wrap the world title around her waist. The Storm finally got her crowning moment last year in November when she defeated Tiffany Stratton at Saturday Night’s Main Event to capture the WWE Women’s Championship. But what followed was an absolute debacle. Triple H failed to give Cargill any significant feud to elevate her championship run.

The 33-year-old continued her feud with Stratton for a while and then she remained entangled in petty skirmishes with Michin and B-Fab. It looked like Triple H never actually had any plan for Jade Cargill. Her championship run lasted five months, which was a significant time to give The Storm an incredible run. However, WWE failed to do that and Cargill’s title run ended up being a fiasco. She eventually lost the gold to Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 42.

#4. Jey Uso

Jey Uso’s world title reign is arguably one of the most controversial title reigns in recent history because a huge chunk of fans were against it. He captured the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 41 by defeating Gunther. Just when Triple H had an opportunity to prove critics wrong by giving Jey a phenomenal championship run, Hunter did the opposite.

He took the coveted title away from him in just 51 days, making it look like the biggest failure. Before The YEET master could even establish his footing as world champion, the title was gone. Jey Uso miserably failed to establish himself at that level due to WWE’s ambiguous direction for him. With that, Triple H not only cut short his title run but also ended Jey’s mainevent push.

#3. Stephanie Vaquer

Stephanie Vaquer arrived on the main roster as one of the most high-profile stars from NXT. She captured the Women’s World Championship last year in September by defeating IYO SKY in a stellar match at Wrestlepalooza. It marked the onset of a new era in the women’s division and fans were exuberantly eager to watch Vaquer’s championship reign on Monday Night Raw.

However, La Primera faced the same fate that most champions face under Triple H. She had only three feuds, two of which were against Raquel Rodriguez and Nikki Bella, which did not do her any good. Stephanie Vaquer became a victim of inconsistent and random booking on RAW. The title reign that once looked promising ended miserably at the hands of Liv Morgan at WrestleMania 42.

#2. Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre captured the Undisputed WWE Championship from Cody Rhodes in January this year in one of the most shocking fashions. The wrestling world was elated to see The Scottish Warrior hold the big gold and for once, it looked like things were happening the right way. Fans were clamoring for McIntyre to walk into WrestleMania 42 as the Undisputed WWE Champion.

However, Triple H took the title away from him just when The Show of Shows was around the corner. Drew McIntyre’s title reign ended in just 56 days. What could have been an incredible championship run ended up miserably just because WWE wanted to book Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42. Hunter apparently squashed the potential of a great title run.

#1. WWE star Liv Morgan

Liv Morgan captured the Women’s World Championship from Stephanie Vaquer at WrestleMania 42. It has been over a month now and The Miracle Kid has been completely directionless on Monday Night Raw. She has been doing nothing except sticking with Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez in the tag team division. Despite being a world champion in WWE, Morgan missed Backlash 2026 and is set to miss Clash in Italy as well.

Triple H is brutally dismantling Liv Morgan’s championship run, extinguishing its potential before it could even make a lasting impact. WWE has no creative plans in store for one of its biggest champions, which is truly an appalling sight. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Morgan has flopped as the Women’s World Champion since WrestleMania 42 and the man behind this creative misdirection is none other than the company’s creative head, Triple H.
