If you are half active on Social Media, you've seen it at least once.

If you were in charge of WWE, what would you do?

The Boring answers you see in 10fold:

End the PG era
push talent
bring back the attitude era
make raw 2 hours

such empty, meaningless things with VERY little imagination and a shortsighted look at wrestling at wrestling. I'm sure we could all do better than that... so, let's book our versions of WWE!!

I'll go first, as well, I'm already here

Also, if you are in charge of "talent relations" there is much more than you can do other than what you see on TV

---

First things first, there are plenty of highly respected people in WWE's sphere, one of them is sure to be able to get Paul Heyman and AJ Styles on the same table and talk out their differences. It's mental that we won't see any of Heyman's projects and Styles on the same brand because of some bad blood. especially when Styles is the kind of talent you can use for anything they don't need to like each other, just co-exist.

Secondly, it's time to get the belts of Roman, but it needs to make sense, keep Reigns strong but also make the changes feel big!
Also, Raw needs a world title, but we'll get to that.

To keep Reigns strong, you need to give a sure-fire feud straight after. the obvious one, WrestleMania against the Rock! for which, I think we can all agree, neither the Rock nor Reigns needs a belt for that. We do need an arc that plays into why the Rock would face him. "Head of the Table" is not enough, because why now, after 2 years?

First and foremost, Reigns needs to cut a promo on how he transcended everyone. He's better than Rikishi, Umaga, Afa, Sika, and especially that Hollywood sell out "The Rock" who's barely family to begin with.
Cut into how he's better than Lance Anoa'i and Jacob Fatu who never made it to the big leagues at all

This sets up a return for the Rock for that Mania feud. The Rock comes out, saying he doesn't give a damn about titles, he's going to shut Reigns up.

Fast forward, and we reach Elimination Chamber.
Reigns defending against Karrion Kross, Drew McIntyre, Braun Stroman, Seth Rollins & GUNTHER
Reigns kicks off against Drew, before the 4th person enters, Reigns gets pinned after physically beaten by Drew and mentally drained by Rollins (entered 3th)
Now this Chamber has 5 men fighting, and one of them WILL be the new Universal champion, and that man, is Seth Rollins.

Why Seth? Well, there is a massive comeback story waiting to happen that needs to end both that comeback as well as the feud that belongs with it.

You guessed it, but sometimes the obvious way is the right way. Cody Rhodes returns at the Royal Rumble and wins. Goes on to Face Seth Rollins one final time and becomes the Main attraction on Smackdown as WWE Champion. This goes paired with retiring the double belts, bringing back a "World Title" worthy design. Something new though, not the Big Gold or Winged Eagle, we need to stop living in the past. Cody debutes this new but old school looking belt as the new WWE Title and launches a new era

At this point, we are around Backlash, Cody retains and the Raw after, Triple H announces a new belt, I'm sure WWE's marketing can find something catchy, but let's call it the World Heavyweight (ironic considering what comes next)
This tile will kick off with an 8-men tournament:

• AJ Styles
• Shinsuke Nakamura (traded to RAW)
• Finn Balor
• Edge
• Dolph Ziggler
• Johnny Gargano
• Seth Rollins (cause he's pissed ever since Mania)
• Matt Riddle

This feud should end with Nakamura and Styles and this time, we're doing it right. Nakamura defeats Styles clean, finally washing off that low-blow stink from their last feud.

How About the Tag Titles? Are they getting split too? Yes... but first, we need to get new champions to bring back a classic design. We are once again going obvious.
Back when Reigns was champion, The Uso's were trying to help Solo Sikoa become the intercontinental champion, then held by GUNTHER. They fail and fully shift the blame to Sami Zayn
Sami beats Solo in a one-on-one mini feud, but it's obvious that outside of a bell-to-bell encounter, Sami is screwed by constant attacks. Until Kevin Owens has enough. saves Sami as they face off for the Tag titles, dethroning the Uso's kicking off Roman's rant about being the sole champion of the Bloodline.
Sami and Owens will return the current tag titles in the old style, Black straps with brass plates, cause why not? It's different.

What does this mean for the tag divisions though? Because if we're getting a Tag title for Raw and Smackdown again, where are we getting the teams from? There are plenty:
Raw would get:

• Alpha Academy
• Ciampa & The Miz
• Dirty Dawgz
• Judgement Day (Damian Priest & Dominik)
• Legado del Fantasma (Cruz del Toro & Joaquin Wilde)
• Los Lotharios
• The New Day
• Viking Raiders

Smackdown would get:

• Brawling Brutes (Ridge Holland & Pete "Butch" Dunne)
• Hit Row
• Imperium (Giovanni Vinci & Ludwig Kaiser)
• Maxxine's Male Models (Mace & Mansoor) 
• Owens & Zayn
• The Street Profits
• The Uso's

Other minor changes:

• Max Dupri departs Maximum Male models (making it Maxxine's Male Models) and turns back to LA Knight
• Butch is now known as Pete "Butch" Dunne, keeping Butch as nickname
• Sheamus becomes Intercontinental Champion, somewhere between the Gunther/Solo match and Gunther entering the chamber
  
• T-Bar turns back into Dominik Dijakovic
  
• 24/7 title retires
  
• There needs to be more Womens Tag Teams, honestly wouldn't know where to start
