Liu Kang held a pseudo-tournament in Earthrealm to train them -- we only see Raiden's perspective; just filling in gaps, but I'm inclined to believe it followed "Round-Robin" rules, and Raiden was the only one with three wins. Once _that_ tournament is decided, its victor fights through all of the opposing Realm's champions, and the "defending" Realm gets a sort of home-ground advantage, in the form of fielding all of its champions instead of only one. It's an awkward format that I can see someone establishing for the same reasons Liu Kang and Jerrod did, but it's also a format where the rules will inevitably foster anger and resentment should any one Realm end up on a losing streak -- as we see with Shao. EDIT: inb4 nerd emoji.

in my opinion, it may be a part of the tradition. Maybe the host realm gets to have multiple champions while the other gets only one. OR. Since Earthrealm has won so many times, maybe this was do to even the odds.
