WWE has been doing a phenomenal job with the matches and storylines featured over the past few months. This year has undoubtedly been one of the most successful in the company’s rich history, and Triple H deserves major credit for keeping fans engaged with some intriguing feuds.
While The Game has expertly led the Creative team, booking some of the best storylines, the WWE Hall of Famer has seemingly given up on a few stars. These talents are either not getting enough opportunities to showcase their skills on TV or are being used primarily to elevate other stars. Let’s take a look at a few wrestlers that Triple H appears to have given up on.
### #5. Giulia
The reigning Women’s United States Champion, Giulia, moved to the main roster earlier this year after a successful run as one of the biggest names in NXT’s women’s division. Since joining SmackDown, Giulia had a few weeks of exciting appearances but has rarely found a regular spot on the match cards.
Despite being a champion, her title has seldom been defended during her reign. Fans feel that this great talent, who has the potential to elevate the women’s division, has unfortunately lost all momentum.
### #4. LA Knight
Former WWE United States Champion LA Knight is another star that fits this list perfectly. The megastar is undoubtedly one of the roster’s biggest names and has proven his worth with incredible matches.
Currently on the RAW roster, Knight has been engaged in a feud with The Vision and Jey Uso. While involved in noteworthy storylines, Triple H seems to be using him more as a tool to help elevate other wrestlers rather than pushing Knight as a top-tier star.
### #3. Randy Orton
One of the greatest and most dangerous names in professional wrestling history, Randy Orton, has not been on the winning side for quite some time. The Viper has been involved in some significant feuds and there are rumors about an upcoming heel turn.
However, Orton’s recent storylines and matches do not position him as a leading star. Instead, his name has frequently been used to elevate other talents. This suggests that Triple H may have given up on Orton as a top name, opting to use the veteran to help build newer stars rather than allowing Orton to further justify his legacy.
### #2. Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu was one of the most dangerous stars to reach the top in 2025. As a member of the Bloodline faction, Fatu established himself as a dominant force on SmackDown.
His betrayal of Solo Sikoa at Money in the Bank earned him considerable fan attention. However, after his feud with Sikoa ended, Fatu lost all momentum and has been rarely featured on television. This decline indicates that Triple H might have given up on Fatu after his run as WWE United States Champion.
### #1. Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre is arguably the wrestler who has been waiting the longest for the push he deserves. The Scottish Warrior has spent much of the year helping other stars climb the ranks.
While McIntyre is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in the industry, he has struggled to build momentum himself. Even in his recent battle for the Undisputed WWE Championship, the match primarily served to enhance Cody Rhodes’ title reign. This clearly shows that The Game has seemingly given up on McIntyre as a top star.

Fans will now have to wait and see what WWE has in store for these stars moving forward. Will Triple H change course and reinvigorate their careers, or will these talents continue to be underutilized? Only time will tell.
