You are in charge for 24 hours.

[Jonathan Michaels]

Your job is to reorganize the company.

What you do cannot be undone.

Who are you putting in charge, who runs creative, who is the onscreen face of the organization?

General managers? Champions? Commentary teams?

However deep you want to go.

[ISO Mid Thigh Pull]

How do we filter out the teases?

We don't let them in.

This goes for the guys too, cause sometimes the guys are tapped out. But check your lease, man.

You're wrestling in f*** City

[madness50]

Fire Kevin Dunn, Bruce Prichard, Johnny Ace, and put Vince in a home.

[Corre.222]

If Stephanie McMahon lied when she said I was the Authority, then I'll just accept this sliver of time.

[Celexa Bliss 54]

I rehire Regal and Joe to help Michaels and Triple H run things. For Creative, Triple H oversees things with a team I let him pick. Onscreen GM is Regal. Big E is the top face on Raw, Lashley the top heel. On Smackdown, Roman can stay top heel, but the new top face is Nakamura.

Champions:

WWE - Lashley
US - Priest
Raw Tag - RKBro

Universal - Roman
IC - Cesaro
Smackdown Tag - Usos

What of the Women's titles? Merge the divisions. Becky beats Charlotte in the unification match, then feuds with Bianca. I'd lose the Tag Titles, but rebrand the 24/7 Title as a Women's midcard title. And get it off of Dana ASAP, and onto a transitional heel Champion, who can lose it to Liv.

NXT and NXTUK can stay as is.

Commentary:

Um... that's hard lol I don't really mind Cole and Pat on Smackdown, but I don't know how to fix Raw. I guess Smith isn't too bad, but Graves and Saxton are insufferable. I'd go with Nigel as Smith's partner, honestly.

Raw main event scene:
Lashley
Big E
Seth
KO
Finn
AJ

Midcard:
Priest
Theory
Sami (move him over, he's dead on Smackdown)
Veer
Dijakovic (NOT T-Bar)
Miz
Reggie
Omos

Tag:
RKBro
Mysterios
Street Profits
Roode and Ziggler (I mean, I'd rather they waste one spot on TV, rather than two lol)
Crews and Azeez
Hurt Business
Alpha Academy
Truth and Tozawa (make 'em a comedy act that mostly loses)

Smackdown Main Event:
Roman
Nakamura
McIntyre

Midcard:
Cesaro
Ali
Mansoor
Gulak
Mace
Ricochet
Elias (swap him for Sami)

Tag:
Usos
New Day
Viking Raiders
Corbin and Moss
Angel and Humberto
Sheamus and Holland
Mahal and Shanky

Women's main event:
Becky
Bianca
Charlotte
Sasha
Asuka
Alexa
Bayley (when she's cleared)

Midcard:
Liv
Rhea
Carmella
Zelina
Nikki
Dana
Xia
Shayna
Shotzi
Piper (NOT Doudrop)
Naomi
Sonya
Aliyah
Natalya
Tamina

Edge, Brock, and Beth should be part-timers, and Maryse and Boogs can remain as managers.

I read that first word as a different four-letter “F word” and thought damn.

[Mike Strike]

Sell to Tony Khan, walk away with a billion dollars.

[Slingshot Suplay]

I'm bringing back the wwe tag team titles and I'm awarding them to the Rockers... sorry, but I have to right this childhood wrong that the wwf committed!

[Alice Syndrome]

Fire Riddle and Devlin.

That's it.

[Sponsored by Groose Wipes]

Send Veer.

[sportatorium]

Rehire Regal & anyone else I can from the massive purge. Put Triple H in charge of everything and let the chips fall.

[Lizuka #BLM]

Hemorrhage as much money in a single day as I possibly can while making sure not a dime of it goes to anyone in the upper ranks of management. Like even the lowest ranked NXT guys are getting like $6 million bonuses.

[thegatewaydrug]

Invite Chuck Taylor to Smackdown to say all the swear words on live network TV.

[Deleted]

Fire Dunn, Prichard, and Laurinaitis.

Re-hire Regal.

Hand creative over to HHH and HBK.

Put a major emphasis on a wins and losses mattering. This doesn't necessarily mean introducing a rankings system and W-L records like AEW, but gone are the days of people losing feuds and then getting title shots.

Unify the Raw and SD Tag Titles.

Scrap the 24/7 Title.

Becky and Charlotte are both still pushed, but they're taken out of their respective title pictures for a while. Becky turns face and has her character tweaked a bit.

Give Raw, NXT, and SD their own unique presentation styles so that they actually feel like different brands. Each show gets its own neutral authorite figure who only shows up every once in a while like Regal did. Heel authority figures are no more.

Things become much more relaxed at TV and it starts feeling more like a house show environment backstage.

No more of the "entrance then other thing trope" and other bullshit pacing issues that probably make the shows a chore to sit through for the live audiences.

[msc]

Fire the Yes Men brigade. They're all dunn instantly.

Move vince McMahon to Honorary Chairman Emeritus position, and put Stephanie McMahon in as boss, with a successful non vulture capitalist CEO working on business.

Renew every contract (that wants it) with a pay raise, medical/travel expenses covered and a percentage of company profit which increases depending on their involvement in it (so from PPV bonuses to merch sales).

Hand creative to HHH but have a women in charge of the women's booking. Beth? Someone respected, creative and fiery.

More segments on RAW, make the 30 minute segments a rarity, not weekly. Suggest a few TV title changes might interest folk.

Relax the goddamn crowd cuts during matches. People want to watch the bloody match, not more edits than Quantum of Solace for a chinlock.

Bring in all the talents for the PC Centre. The best workers, the best psychologists, the best mental health team, the best life style coaches, the best trainers, the best talkers, all hands on deck. Oh, and WWE drivers, a sort of WWE taxi service around NXT who can be called on any time to give talent expenses paid trips from anyone to anyone, so there is absolutely no reason for anyone getting tipsy behind the wheel of a car.

Let the wrestlers work out their own character quirks, give them bullet points but no extended scripts to learn. Unless they worked on it.

In my idea, Smackdown works best with 4 smaller matches, a lot of backstage talking bits to keep characters in the audience mind, and then one properly great big match the crowd love. This is how it worked best in 2000, 2002 and any other time Smackdown was great. RAW has an abandoned template that worked - Hot Opening Thing, exciting opening match, main event angle, fast tag match, Top of the Hour title match, some "make them look good" matches (bring back jobbers and winning streaks that matter), more storyline stuff, Big Main Event Storyline Progression top of the hour, main eventer wrestlers, angle, Big Main Event. Currently its 2 1/2 hours then the main event. There's a roster they could still do Rock/Edge 1999 style matches where the Edge gets to look good but there's no harm in losing to The Rock, because its The Rock. A Seth Rollins/Montez Ford sprint for example. They could freshen stuff up every week if they wanted to. New fresh match ups, faces winning now and again, title matches where it seems like *something may happen* - its only a complete inertia show because that's what they want to book.

My only view on NXT is that as a developmental, if someone is promising now but will be great in 18 months time, dont push them too hard now, when it could ruin their growth. Patience is key.

[mattyy]

Sell to Disney and make off with the profits.

New boom period...

[cornettesracket]

First and foremost fire Kevin Dunn, Bruce Prichard, and Johnny Ace and if legal under Connecticut law use a catapult like in that episode of the Simpsons. Put HHH in charge of creative and have HBK and Heyman help him. Tell nick khan to heard cats for all I care but he needs to be fired also. Encourage Vince to spend time with his grandkids and wife.

stop with the f***ing incessant camera cuts and dump those stupid LED ring posts in the nearest body of water and leave them there. Raw should have red ropes, smack down blue and PPVs should be white or black.

I’d change NXT back to the way it was prior to NXT 2.0 but with some tweaks.

[The Thread Barbi]

Business side it's making more money than ever. So I'd keep Nick Khan but on a leash.

Creative wise - get rid of the old boys club.

Throw money at Bret Hart to be a producer backstage.

I'd retain Kevin Dunn but enforce his camera work is more like Wrestlemania VI than Wrestlemania 36.

Give Triple H his powers back.

Ensure Vince cannot change a show 48 hrs before airing.

I like your vision cause I'm seeing Von Wagner on a golden boat with a camo sailors cap.
