10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (Oct 18)

10. The 30 Day Champion "Rule"

From @timelord56: 30 days are up. Why shouldn't @WWE strip @BrockLesnar of the #WWEWHC? (Not a fan of part-timers holding titles.)
The 30 day rule where the champion must defend his/her title within 30 days is a made up thing that WWE only acknowledges when it's convenient for their storylines. When it doesn't fit the storyline they totally ignore it. While it might frustrate fans, that's just how it is. We can complain all we want, but it's not going to change. They knew exactly what they were doing by putting the WWE Title on Lesnar. They knew he wasn't going to work more dates or work every PPV. He's going to work based on the contract they already signed with him, which usually means 4 PPV matches in a 12 month period. Maybe they can get one or two more matches out of him, but as far as we know he's not scheduled for any matches until January's Royal Rumble. Lesnar is not going to be stripped. That's not the storyline. They'll keep ignoring it for a few months although he is advertised for Raw on December 8 when they have the Slammy Awards, so maybe they will at least remember he exists at that point.
