You have 3 months to bring up the ratings or the WWE closes down. What would you do as the BOSS?

Tournament on RAW and Smackdown Live. All upper-card men on both shows. Winner goes on to rep the show in a four-way elimination match against Brock - call it a call-to-arms of everyone in the promotion to recover the Universal Title back, with the guarantee that whoever wins that will co-main WM.

You now have a chance to run a series of matches every show on both main shows built around this - but also very intensely tied to the 'wins and losses' matter statement being revived and months being invested in making this a legitimate thing. Because this isn't a standard round-robin. This is points-based, G1 style, and all matches will count for it, including ones that occur on Main Event, ones that happen on house shows. Ones that happen on 205 live. Leading to a lot of people who might otherwise not get TV time being able to be included, but also perhaps leading to people watching those other shows. Flash-finishes, sudden alliances, the like start spreading out like wildfire.

And, in the interest of making sure that the developmental situation is represented, and to give those down in NXT a big opportunity, (and to the minds of fans, elevate someone to that upper level but also give an easy first elimination) a similar tournament happens down in NXT.

Dragging along, with people popping up high in the rankings, teams like New Day sacrificing for the good of one of their own even if it sets back the other two - them getting Kofi a title shot could be a running storyline, up to and including them subbing themselves out of matches for him to get him points - it all building up until you end up with your winner from RAW, Smackdown, and NXT.

Given enough time, anyone could be in these roles. Bryan would have been fighting hard to win that out of a desire to unify the titles and have even less superfluous leather, we all know how the egos on RAW work, yadda yadda, but really it could be anyone in these three slots.

Start the match, and they all immediately beat Brock down, pile on, and he's eliminated. Gone. Now you have an entire match of these three that you have spent, hopefully, the last couple of months building up on their individual brands all here to put on a showcase. Double points if the person who actually gets the pin/does the final finisher on Brock if whoever is from NXT, because that's a damn good way to give them some first-look shine from people who only watch main roster. (Dream dropping that elbow and that being the nail that puts Brock down would be wonderful)

Whoever wins ends up on RAW with that stupid red belt, and it doesn't much matter who,

But you let people feel like wins and losses matter over a series of months. They will be checking online if its done right to see what was going on at house shows. Can let people cheer their favorites without feeling like you need to torpedo them for the sake of someone you're trying to push, and can even use the final numbers from the individual brands to determine where people are on the card going forward.

It gets Brock out of there in a way that makes him seem like he needs to be teamed up on to beat - in case he wants to come back and give a shyt - but it also implies prestige if the whole company is willing to basically jump into this to win the belt he's been holding off TV so much it doesn't seem worth a shyt. And in the process, hopefully you build up a new top guy on each brand, bring up someone from NXT with immediate attention from their showcase in the final match, and you got a whole bunch of people some wins in a new environment where wins and losses matter more than how much the eleventeen authority figures like you.

tl;dr: Basically WWE runs the G1. Almost literally. It'd be better than anything else they're doing.

Some thoughts

NXT invasion angle part 2

Simply force Vince to retire and get his hands off the product

Fire the writers and hire actual ones who watch the show and aren’t yes men

Be edgier. We don’t need attitude era antics again, but a more mature product goes a long way, plus these kids see worse shyt than a couple cuss words and occasional blood elsewhere

Have a black champion

Start making dream feuds that don’t culminate at the following PPV. Have some feuds that have a slow burn, so the payoff will be great

Lighten the workload of your wrestlers

Create custom stages for ppv’s (at least the big 4)

Truth be told though....

If I was to run the WWE.... I would run it in a similar way Lucha Underground does things.... and how WWE USED to years ago and even WCW.

I would put a little be more better effort and concentration on the mid/low cards. Like actually give them something more to do than a lot of the BS they doing now.

Like for the US and IC champs..... why has it been really only at one time ONE person who wants that title why other guys who aint on the World title levels, just sitting there idle. So I would have multiple guys in the picture gunning for the champ and also in the same process each other.

Since the E has like 500 wrestlers (I know thats an overexaggeration but yall get the point).

I probably would bring back another title or 2 like the TV title and the Hardcore Belt and have guys in that division to kinda fit that mold.

I would actually also let the tag teams actually have a better spotlight than what they doing now.

I would cut back on alot of the in ring long promos EVERY WEEK... like not everyone needs to have one. Maybe the champ and his contender.... but maybe switch it up. Try to get people reconditioned to being entertained by actual ring work and not someone with a microphone especially to the wrestlers who really aint that good on the mic or comfortable.

I would probably go back to a 2 man announce team and tell them to focus on the matches they are watching and instead of watching Jinder Mahal wrestle Bo Dallas but talking about Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose completely not giving a fukk about this match. Also I would have them cool out on the roasting each other trynna get over. Just call the damn match

And this may be unpopular to some but I would actually go back to how the brand split was... separate PPVs, just to get a VARIETY of everyone on the card verse the same 18 people every PPV. They have some REALLY talented guys getting lost in the ocean then got a shyt ton in NXT waiting to come up but still you got this traffic jam. Only the MAJOR grandfathered shows would have both rosters. I get why they doing what they doing now and I get how that may be unpopular to some.... but I feel in a long run with other changes it will be meaningful. I mean its sad now that certain champs or division are either not even making PPVs or on the pre show but they put BS blow away matches no one cares about on the main card. My thing is, if you trynna get people to RESPECT the title, it needs to be on the PPV and later on the card, not opening and one on the pre show. We can sell "special grudge or gimmick" matches... but we also need to sell out CHAMPS and championship matches. Cuz if youre on the roster, you should want to be ONE of the champions, yea everyone wants the top title, but if you not there yet, you should atleast be on the quest for the others

Have Brock come out to say he can beat anyone including from the past. Lights go out and when they turn back on Tommy Dreamer is standing there. A ref slides in and the two have a 40 minute match to end the show. The finish has Dreamer winning with a dreamer ddt as the crowd chants This Is Awesome.

The show goes off with a crying Dreamer celebrating in the middle of the crowd.

Next week the show starts with Dreamer spitting on the title before throwing it down then cuts a promo saying how pathetic wrestling is now.

Vince calls Dreamer out wanting to know what the hell was going on. Dreamer goes off on Vince burying the company. That brings out a few of the stars to confront him. Lights go out and when they come back on a bunch of nxt stars are beating the hell out of the WWE stars.

Next week Dreamer reveals that he knew the nxt guys from way back and helped get them jobs in the WWE as part of a long plan to invade

As far as the world title a tournament is set up with half WWE guys and half nxt guys.
