Additional Rules Pertinent to the Immunity Championship
HIGHLANDER RULE:
* “There can be only one” Immune superstar in the men’s and one in the women’s divisions, respectively. If the Premier Athlete elects “immunity” as one of their perks for winning the tournament it will force the Premier Athlete to challenge in an Immunity Championship Match to establish the single immune talent of said division within a month after the existence of two immune superstars therein.
CASH-IN OPTION:
* The Immunity Champion will reserve the right to relinquish their championship in exchange for a shot at the World Championship or a slot in the Premier Athlete Tournament Roulette of their respective division, but they will likewise forfeit the right to enjoy immunity from the consequences of their actions during said challenge since the title abdication would have to precede the title opportunity.
THREE STRIKES RULE:
* The Immunity Champion will have three “cash-in” chances, with the title being returned to the champion if they succeed within those three tries, but if they fail on the third and final try they will forfeit the championship completely.
IMMUNE WORLD CHAMPION RULE:
* If the Immunity Champion also holds the World/Women’s Title, then they will be required to defend both simultaneously at every Pay Per View and special event in a two out of three falls match wherein the first fall will be for the Immunity Title.
USE IT OR LOSE IT RULE:
* If the Immunity Champion holds the title for 2 consecutive months (excluding the period from Motivation to the Season Premiere) without being active, they will forfeit the title to the most recent crowned Premier Athlete of their respective division.
