You cannot change the briefcase holder, but you can change when they cashed in.

Change Corbin to cash in at Survivor Series 2017, probably improves his trajectory afterward and it spares us AJ's shitty title run.

Braun Strowman cashes in to turn the main event of Summerslam 2018 into a triple threat and gets the job done.

Personal bias: Miz doesn't cash in the first until after WrestleMania because Barrett wins the title from Orton and thus leads to a Cena/Barrett Mania main.

I'd have kept the case on Kennedy in 2007. Hindsight I know but his injury ended up being fairly minor and he was only out a couple months so he didn't really have to drop it.
After Cena got injured in October I'd have HHH win a tournament to win the vacant title then Kennedy immediately cashes in on him and build to a proper Kennedy/HHH match at Wrestlemania 24. You can tie it into the "Kennedy is Vince's illegitimate son" thing that I think was the original plan.
Maybe Kennedy's career still ends up flaming out but it was worth a shot.

Otis gets to keep his case. I was so happy when Otis won the case, and him losing it so lame old Miz can be champ for a week was infuriating!

Imagine this: a women's MITB who holds the case longer than a week.

Corbin still cashes in at the last minute before Summerslam 2017, but wins. The two singles matches at Summerslam (the Cena/Corbin snooze-fest and Jinder's joke of a retention over Nakamura) are combined into one messy (but potentially more fun) Fatal Four-Way.
I'm no fan of Corbin, just of that portion of Summerslam being changed.

Sandow defeats Cena and becomes champion.
Even if he loses it later that month, or that week, or even that night in a rematch - it'd be a great ego-inflation evolution for that character to say "I AM A FORMER WWE CHAMPION!"

Austin Theory cashing in on Bron for the NXT championship. This is my pick as well. It would have given him a much more organic path, and I would like to have seen what HBK would have done with him that didn't feel like "early-Cena-clone".

He never recovered from losing to a literal one armed Cena, that was Cena booking at its dirt worst.

John Cena vs Rey Mysterio happens at Summerslam 2011 instead of on Raw. Albert Del Rio cashes in on the winner.
CM Punk then returns and Del Rio's win is declared null and void as Punk is the real WWE Champion.

Otis keeps the case, cashes in and wins at Mania and the celebrates his eternal love with Mandy in the middle of the ring as if that was the real accomplishment he was after.

Sandow shouldn’t be world champion even if by that time the world title wasn’t as big as it used to be.

You're forgetting that Undertaker was also injured and was World Champion. They needed to get the belt off him immediately. That was supposed to be Kennedy's moment, but he was also hurt. The switch only happens to have Edge beat Taker. Who takes the belt off Taker if they let Kennedy keep the case?

You're right though the Kennedy thing just really doesn't work unless you're in a complete alternate universe because it wasn't just his injuries, it was him hurting other people too, saying dumb stuff in interviews around the time of the Benoit stuff then getting suspended for wellness stuff. He had too much stuff going on around him at the time and he wasn't at the Jeff Hardy/Randy Orton level of popularity/status that he could continue getting main event spots despite all that.

Imagine this: a women's MITB who holds the case longer than a week. Yeah it’s gotten really bad for the women. 2017- Carmella wins and had it for 287 days 2018- Alexa Bliss cashes in same night 2019- Bayley cashes in same night 2020- Asuka opens briefcase the next night 2021- Nikki Cross cashes in next night 2022- Liv Morgan cashes in same night I always forget Nikki was even champion, and she basically got it to pad out Charlotte’s reigns, so she’d be the one I’d choose to keep it longer.
