Say you're in charge of things. You're Triple H, or you're someone else with sway, temporarily or permanent, and you get to make changes. What are some edicts you hand out for things to change?
Here's the big one: They have Braun, Bronson, and Bron. I'd tell them they have a week to come up with new names for at least one of them, because that's really stupid. Probably give Reed some other name, like how Will Hobbs became Powerhouse Hobbs as a heel, because "Bronson" doesn't fit for him, anyway. "Wrecker Reed", "Mountain Reed", "Avalanche Reed", whatever you want to call him, it'd be an improvement.
Bron Breakker's probably the other one who gets a name change. I guess Bron Steiner is too close to his actual name, Bronson Rechsteiner, to where they have the usual WWE fear of "what if he takes it with him elsewhere?", same issue for Rex Steiner since it's basically just Rechsteiner, his actual last name. Then again, where is he likely to even go? He has "WWE LIFER" carved into his forehead, even if he was maybe more a Vince-style project. Wherever he'd go, he'd just be "___ Steiner", anyhow, with WWE having virtually nothing they could do about that, so the case for "BREAKKER" remains weak.
I guess by the time Bron's called up, Braun might be halfway out the door, anyhow, so the problem may solve itself on that one.

Everyone has to stay at the Robot Spider Conversion Factory.
I mean... everyone gets pizza and cake.

New character named The Wacky Torturer who runs up to the losers of every match and chases them with a caddle prod

This shit’s not real. It’s OK to lose. I’d say it on-air too.

Becky lost tonight and she is someone who can take a loss, several even. Where Mustafa Ali? He's booked to be this super underdog, but the issue is he never wins, and always, ALWAYS gets his ass kicked, like on average of one segment a week he is getting beaten up by somebody. Presentation matters, and eventually, like with Ali, it can just kill crowds completely on someone when they are constantly presented as a loser who never, ever wins. You gotta have a light at the end of a tunnel sometimes. That being said I'm pretty sure outright saying "This shit isn't real" on TV is what made people hate Vince Russo's WCW

New part of the dress code is that everyone has to carry a gun when they're out and about so when a fan gets a picture with Seth at 7/11 your immersion will not be ruined by the fact that Seth is not protected as you will see that he is packing an absurd amount of heat.

I want him to be carrying a flintlock pistol for this purpose for no goddamn reason. Perhaps an old pepperbox pistol, if he's feeling fancy.

Having a bunch of Brauns, Bron, Bronsons, can't be as bad as having a ton of Pages, Cages, and Adams

Having a bunch of Brauns, Bron, Bronsons, can't be as bad as having a ton of Pages, Cages, and Adams I think it's made worse by virtue of it being an uncommon name, and yet you have three. It'd be like if they had a bunch of guys named Oliver, and all of them were some kind of hoss-type. At least Ethan Page and Adam Page are pretty different, and Brian Cage and Christian Cage are even less alike in their actual wrestling. That said, they do at least usually call Page "Hangman" instead of Adam, especially if Cole's also in the same context.

Everyone does the Saxonation as a finish now. And no one kicks out.

Top guys and girls have to get spotted and photographed at a horse race at least one every few months. Studies show that betting on horse races is regarded as the coolest, sexiest, yet also most respectable form of gambling. Y'Know when I'm in that ring I'm Bron Breakker the competitor, the warrior, the dog, but when I'm out here at the track watching beautiful stallions go to work? I'm just Bronson. A man fortunate enough to have a beautiful girlfriend and a dog by my side. I see these horses and it inspires me to get to that next level. On some level, I think that anyone who's ever struggled can relate to horses. Horses are born to be warriors, born to push through. I really see myself in that.

On a serious note: one outside dive per hour of show. Unless it's a hot tag/specialty move situation where a guy does multiple dives in a row, there is zero reason to have a high risk move in every single match with people this size.

All promos must somehow mention how great TV's Ted McGinley is.

-No moves off the top rope. That's an instant DQ -Also throwing someone over the top rope is a DQ -No more floor mats -Everyone leaves AFTER the main event -If you get into an altercation with a non wrestler and lose, you're fired

Half of the male roster now has to dress like Akeem, the African Dream.
Which half of the roster will be dressed that way will be randomly assigned on a weekly basis.
This will not be commented on by anybody during the broadcast.

Mick Foley and Darby Allin are prime examples of that.
