Rocket Raccoon for WWE Champion or I riot. They'd probably throw in a Groot heel turn with 20 minute show opening promos. Still better than a 20-minute Triple H preamble.

They could embrace the strongest elements of the Attitude Era (star building and character development) and be better for it.

I look at it this way. As it's said, wrestling is cyclical. Look at the fans that were young when "PG" started. They're getting older now. I know when I was a "tween", I gave up on wrestling for a few years b/c I got bored with it and jumped back in when Attitude was getting going because it finally catered to me. I think thats what we're seeing now, they want to keep the fans that are getting older and a good way to do that is spice it up a little. They wont want to alienate the fans that are still really young tho. I highly doubt it ever goes full on Attitude style with bra and panties matches etc, but I think they're trying to be a little edgier than its been.
I also think they've realized the "value" of stronger language. If its not constant, a "kick your ass" or a "bitch" here and there really amplifies certain feuds b/c we're not used to it in this era of WWE. It's kind of like a little kick in the butt.

It's kind of like if you have a kid (start of the PG era), at the beginning, you make an extra-concerted effort to keep your language clean around him, but as time goes on, you get more comfortable/lazy and just go, "F it, swears all around."

What's funny is Raw is the most tamest show on USA now. Every damn show is now glorified drugs/drinking and soft core porn with no nudity and so much swearing.

constantly engaging storylines (for the most part), a mass pushing of new talent, and an air of "anything can happen" on all of its programming These three things aren't, or shouldn't be, exclusive to the Attitude Era. You could do these things in 1988, 1998, 2008, 2018 and they should still work. You just need to feature good stories as well. But WWE has bungled one or two of these things at a time for awhile now.
