Definition
卫冕 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to defend a championship title'. You can split it to insert a measure word or other elements between 卫 and 冕, like 卫了三次冕 ('defended the title three times'). The object (the title) is already built into the word, so you don't add an object after it.
v.o.
