Don't laugh but I think a AJ and Ziggler vs Usos would be a fun tag title feud or as others have said Usos vs Alexander and Ali . I think that would do alot for Cedric and Mustafa to beat them. It worked for londrick years ago they were a jobber team then built up to beat MNM. Which caused MNM to split up. Have Usos do an open challenge have them win against the usos in a non title.(but maybe have one of the usos win a single match against one of them) then have the tag match on ppv

In other words, the reigning champions should be taking losses in non-title matches? We tend to go back and forth a lot on whether that’s a good booking tactic or a bad one. Coincidentally, it’s usually dependent on the specific talent involved.

Here's the other thing - the "OH MY GOD THIS PERSON IS BACK OR REHIRED" stunt can only work for so long, too. Look at AEW, with the benefit of hindsight, I think a lot of the excitement with AEW there for a while was around which guy is going to return or show up. Now they've basically done that and have a roster some might call bloated.
If they're going to bring back folks and it's strategic, cool. The reality is WWE has a pretty great roster and now it's just a matter of better using your chess pieces.

The reality is WWE has a pretty great roster and now it's just a matter of better using your chess pieces. That’s true to an extent, but the roster is still a little on the thin side, in my opinion. The releases and guys leaving at the end of their contracts really did a number on the roster depth.

Strip Kevin Dunn of decision making power. Bring the NXT production he was grooming up to the main shows. The tv product needs a new feel.
Either end the brand split or go full on with it. Drop a whole bunch off the titles and focus on better booking the ones that stay.
Time for Edge, Orton, Ziggler, Miz, AJ, Sheamus and maybe Cena and Lesnar to start putting over the younger talent. Build new stars, no more relying on nostalgia as the all purpose fix it.
For the love of god-find a replacement for Michael Cole!!!

Sone other thoughts of mine:
Once Jericho’s deal with AEW is up, give him his last wish; bring him in for a nostalgia run where he is pro still used to put over younger talents, maybe gets a final taste of WWE gold, before his HOF induction.
If Omega does get cleared then park a truck of money outside his door.
Book the Rock vs Roman match at long last. Not even because it will be particularly good on its own, but because Dwayne will help get sone attention on the post-Vince product and some promos with him could be used to get some rub on newer stars.
Induct Chyna into the HOF at long last. Exorcise that particular ghost, take that long-standing fan grievance off the table. Tying into the prior suggestion, if Trips himself doesn’t induct her it should be Jericho.

I honestly feel as if bringing Tyler Breeze into Maximum Male Models may give the group a bit more familiarity for audiences, especially since Max claimed he was "looking for more talent" last week.
If not, just make Max a full-time wrestler (in case the group adding Breeze may make things too saturated).
MMM without Vince could very well be a blessing in disguise. We need more babyface tag teams...go full Zoolander and let the goofball personalities of Breeze, Mace and Manny on UpUpDownDown shine through.

I'll be honest, I don't think it matters what they do talent-wise unless they seriously refresh the overall product. It is a generic, stagnant product visually. At least when black & gold NXT was around, it had a grittier feel to it, almost a ROH feel. Now it's like RAW-lite. The entire production - from lighting, colors, signage, camera work, segment building, and so on - needs refreshed. I realize production values won't ever go down, but you can split the difference between a Jetsons-styled show and something more akin to the early-80's Hamburg/Allentown setup. Grittier and darker so that the big events and big stars feel even bigger by comparison. Just my 2 cents.

Break up Judgment Day. For reals.
Edge can try to sell us on them like a Mary Kay director two lipsticks away from the pink Cadillac, but it's clear that they were Vince's idea, intended to bury three of NXT's best alumni until contracts ended and they each got the hint that they weren't wanted. Reviving all three of them at the moment might take a time machine, and will certainly take a narrative arc that sees them either as uberheels in a more balanced alignment spread, or as babyfaces if the heel-heavy main event scene continues as is.
These are not people that fans want to hate.

I honestly think they should just keep it as is with Max, Maxxine, Mace, and Mansoor. Max as the mouthpiece, Maxxine as the bossy manager, and Mace and Mansoor as the two models who also do the wrestling. The four of them together looks right and they all play their parts well. Adding another I think would make oversaturated and watered down.
