Amid WWE constantly pivoting with their storylines and feuds due to reasons like injuries to major stars and creative differences, this former WWE name feels that one more major change is possible from Triple H and co.

The road to WrestleMania 42 has been a bumpy one, to say the least, with major stars unable to compete due to injury and the creative team experimenting with storylines and feuds as the weeks pass.

So far, a few matches on the card have been solidified, especially the men’s and women’s main events.

One of the main events on the women’s side is WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill versus Elimination Chamber Winner Rhea Ripley for the former’s title.

Ripley and Cargill began feuding online even before facing each other on television, exchanging barbs on Twitter, which went from storyline banter to personal, really quickly.

This took up the headlines in the WWE Universe for a week until the pair met on SmackDown and cut a promo that did not reference the online feud at all. They, in fact, changed direction and began talking about what they like about each other, how they’re better than the other, and what they plan to do to each other at ‘Mania.

The following week on SmackDown, they met again, and Ripley got the last word as Cargill moved away from the ring.

Johnathan Coachman Thinks Triple H Could Change The Jade Cargill vs Rhea Ripley Title Match

Triple H’s booking has been constantly under fire from fans and analysts for not picking the right characters for feuds and not telling compelling stories.

Former WWE star Johnathan Coachman and ex-WWE writer Vince Russo are on top of that list of Triple H critics. Coach, on a recent episode of Coach & Bro, talked about how he thinks WWE and Triple H have probably been watching their podcast and attempting to prove their opinions wrong with their actions on WWE TV.

One such example is with Jade Cargill. Coach has been saying that Cargill does not have the mic skills to be a top champion, and WWE gave her a mic, which Coach says only proved his point further because he thought her work on the mic was less than impressive.

It is so clear that they watch our show, and they go, ‘we’re gonna prove them wrong. We’re gonna make Coach look like a dumbass.

They actually put a microphone in the hand of Jade Cargill. They actually let her talk.

And I was just sitting there watching and going ‘thank you’. You’re making my point for me. If you can’t talk, you can’t get over. It was rough and they did it because everybody was saying she doesn’t deserve it.

He then went on to say that Triple H and Co. will change the match because of how bad the promo segments are coming out to be, owing to Cargill’s seemingly limited mic skills.

It was so bad, I think that they’re going to change that match before WrestleMania because right now they’re all over the place. (39:05 onwards)
