What SHOULD WWE’s course of action be now that AEW has wild momentum? Draft? Go w/ youth? Legends?

I truly think Raw going 3 hours was the biggest downfall of WWE. Bigger than the Invasion botch and HHH reign of terror.
Smackdown's been solid this whole time pretty much but people had looked at Raw as the flagship and representative of the state of the company.
They just need to be as solid as Smackdown is now. People want Attitude level popularity and that's just not sustainable. AEW just needs to be solid too. Realistically, no sport is as popular it was in the 90s except the NFL but they still filling stadiums and shyt and people watch on TV.
Some of these younger heads don't realize that they were as big on cable as Game of Thrones and Walking Dead at their peak and those shows fell off eventually too.
But a solid wrestling show every week on Monday and Friday would be more than enough of a goal to reach. Then you could possibly hit on something boom worthy just by being good for years.
Regardless though, as you say, Smackdown is the flagship now so just getting Raw back to a decent B show would be the best start for them.

The problem is people still look at Raw as the flagship to this day breh
Everything else could be solid which it is in hindsight but they see the stench that is Raw and think otherwise.

Yeah Big E is on his way as well. Just building him up gradually.
The pop he got yesterday was impressive.

You're standing on that hill all alone with the scjerk crowd, promo was fire, shat on his previous employer in less than 50 words. It was great.
Regarding the main topic, the WWE hasn't created such organic buzz in forever, they're unable too, they appeal to the 55 year Olds and adults living on the attitude era buzz and hoping the mediocre product they're watching now gets back to its glory days.
There's nothing it can do other than some YouTube and MMA celebrities coming over meanwhile the Punk buzz will stay hot enough and by the time it starts fading we getting Bryan. They can't counter that even if they bring back Lesnar who literally is the definition of someone not moving a needle

WWE should buy AEW and do some type of invasion angle
They can't, I doubt Tony is selling, company evaluation is probably nowhere near peak which is probably at least in 5 years. And even in 5 years, even if it goes public and remains a solid draw, you think the Khans will let broke ass coke buy to buy majority? 0 chance, there's way more of a chance of Khan partnering up with Disney/NBC etc and do a takeover of the WWE, but I don't see why even they'd bother with that, it's a declining mediocre company
Damn, they're fukked then

Ehh, goes to my point. If AEW and it's associated orgs stay solid the business will usually hit on something.If they’re fukked, then Wrestling as a whole will be fukked.
Basically now AEW is following WCWs playbook when they brought in Hogan and Savage by bringing in Punk and Bryan. Advantage to AEW because their guys are more selfless. Eventually they could spark. Who's to say at this point?
But right now WWE is self-sabotaging themselves with things that could be easily fixed.
