I’ll call later.
I’d let it run ‘til the 14th since it is a few days after Raw’s 25th anniversary, then announce a live TV hiatus ‘til we return on March 4.
During the hiatus, show a mix of classic clips the first hour, whatever is going on currently in NXT the second hour, and the best parts of the previous week’s house shows to satiate people and remind them we still exist and haven’t ceased altogether — increases subs and house show attendance. The superstars would have the freedom to do what they want at these events — no PG limits, no “WWE style” or hindered movesets. Ideally, they’d be putting on classics and word of mouth would travel fast with YouTube and the airing of the best matches in the third hour (full shows on the network) Match-ups would not be repeated at dates.
First Monday back, open on a shot of Corey, Renee, and Michael ringside, welcoming us back to Monday Night Raw and the unveiling of a new set.
First curtain drops to reveal the old Nitro set. Pyro goes off, then Shane comes out. He talks about how Raw had expired much longer than two months ago and has finally been put to rest. Work-shoots about how he wasn’t given the chance to prove what he could do with his own company, and since he was the one who bought WCW, he felt it was time to bring back its flagship program; the one that almost put Raw out of its misery long before Raw did it on its own. He announces that just like Ted Turner before him, he’ll keep his hands as clean of day-to-day matters as possible, since he has already appointed someone to watch over Nitro, and quite possibly the only person who could be trusted to do so..
*cue Sting’s music*
Comes out gimmick-free, shakes hands with Shane, Shane heads to the back and Sting talks about what Nitro meant to him, how he saw it die on his watch once before, and assures everyone he won’t let it happen again. He exits and we go to commercial.
Return with the commentators back on screen and as they start to wonder what this means and what is behind the second curtain to the right, Sting comes back out, tells them they’re fired, and the final curtain drops, unveiling the old Nitro commentator stage. Sting introduces everyone to the new commentary team of Booker T, Mike Tenay (or Jim Cornette if Tenay really is done with wrestling), and Tony Schiavone. He shakes their hands and points them to their stage.
Tony picks up where the Raw team left off “Well, fans, we found out what the return of Nitro meant for them, now it’s time to find out what it means for you: for one night only, you — yes YOU — pick the matches” and do the Taboo Tuesday thing for the rest of the night, “this is undoubtedly going to be one of the biggest nights in the history of our sport!” Booker chuckles “Tell me I didn’t just hear that!”
Much like Vince before me, I can’t be bothered to put much effort into Smackdown! after so much thought went into Monday’s show, but it would basically go like this:
Vince comes out and welcomes everyone to Smackdown!, but before he can say anything else, Steph comes out and complains to Vince about letting Shane have Mondays. He tells her “I didn’t let Shane have anything — Shane TOOK it, just like I did from my father. Stephanie, you call yourself a queen, but you’re still that spoiled, Billion Dollar Princess you’ve always been. You’re always expecting things to be handed to you. I handed you Mondays and you let it slip through your fingers. Smackdown! was at its best when it you were its general manager, so let’s see if you can do it again.”
“Do it again? Dad, I know you’ve been ‘too busy’ to ever see an episode of NXT, but trust me, Hunter’s been putting both of us to shame for years. This will be no problem.”
“You know, Steph, I actually haven’t been busy these last two months, and in that time I have kept up with NXT, and yeah, what Hunter is doing down there is incredible.”
“Congratulations, dad, you finally caught on — late, as usual, but better late than never, right?”
“I suppose so, but what he is doing down there is going so well, and I’m just, I’m just so invested in it, that I would hate to see its quality suffer because he is focused on two shows, so I want him to focus solely on NXT, but don’t you worry, Stephanie, I know just the person to help. Consider this my last handout....Vince Russo!”
*Russo walks down the aisle. As Steph stares in disbelief, he and her father hug*
“Welcome back, BRO! Now, Stephanie, you better have that hand out all the way, cuz this man’s a handful.”
*No Chance in Hell plays as we go to commercial*
Come back to Russo and Steph in Steph’s office. She is sitting with her face in her hands as Russo is shooting off absolutely ridiculous ideas:
“BRO! We get two luchadors and unmask them at the BEGINNING of the match, bro! We put theya masks on a pole and the first one to get theya mask back on wins! MASK HYSTERIA, BRO!”
“BRO! We get two uh the divas to start the match in theys braws and panties and they gotta theya clothes back from the top uh the pole! The girls are on the pole, but theya puttin’ clothes ON and not takin’m off cuz theya not just strippuhs anymore, bro! It’s emPOWERing!”
Steph yells “Enough! Now, you left two other companies worse than when you arrived, yet you rest on your supposed accomplishments from your time here nearly three decades ago. You wanna prove it wasn’t a fluke? That you weren’t just at the right place at the right time with once-in-a-lifetime talents like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin? You’ve been running your mouth for years about how you could do this so much better than us. You’ve begged my father online for years to give you one more shot, on the brink of tears. Well, here’s your shot, Russo! You may share a name with my father, but not the one that matters. See, I’m a McMahon, so I’ll be here no matter what. If USA doesn’t like what we’ve done by the end of the month, it’s lights out for Smackdown!, and that’s fine. It’s just another hiatus until the next deal kicks in. I’ll survive, Smackdown! will survive — will you? Better get to work, Russo, or you’ll be out of work...and that’s a shoot, BRO.”
This is all I have for SD! cuz I would legitimately leave SD! in their hands — I already got that Fox money and Mondays would be my main focus.
Hold a draft that weekend on the Network and keep the brands separate for real until next year’s WrestleMania.
Monday would have the big gold belt, cruiserweight belt, US belt, mix match tag belts only, and women’s belt.
Tuesday would have whatever main belt they want, IC, men and women’s tag belts, women’s belt.

Keep it simple
Too much shyt going on too many belts too many useless characters
Not every body needs to be on tv every week
Stop with this ppvs with 15 matches shoving everything on a card
If they just edited things and stay focused on a few stories it be so much better that’s why people enjoy NXT

Have Brock recreate the Malice at the Palace and use that TV deal money for the settlements. People who didn't have WWE on their mind will watch the next week 
Brock is "blackballed" from WWE and since it caused such a stain to the company, all titles are stripped and we'll have tournaments for all of them. Oh and whatever history and gimmicks that happened before the Brock incident is Benoit'd. WrestleMania 30 something? Nope, it's the first WrestleMania All those WWE title reigns by Cena, Orton, Edge? Nope, that didn't happen Full reboot.

All those WWE title reigns by Cena, Orton, Edge? Nope, that didn't happen Full reboot.Bring in Hall as a booker, Nash replaces Rene on commentary
Have Cesaro go over Sheamus and Big E go over Kofi for the right to fight for the title..Cesaro goes over and beats Bryan for the title. Sheamus sticks by Cesaros side and serves as his mouthpiece. He claims Cesaros win is a "big swing" in the Smackdown world and Cesaro goes back to using the big swing as his signature move to set up the neutralizer. Miz uses his partnership with Shane to give him a chance to prove he is better than Cesaro. They feud after a Miz TV segment gone wrong. Shane serves as special ref in their title match and quick counts for a Cesaro victory. Miz then feuds with Shane and has a ladder match at the ppv with the loser to leave the wwe. Shane loses. Cesaro begins a feud with Samoa Joe and drops the belt to Joe after a transitional reign.
Move Styles and Bryan to Raw and have a 3 way feud with Cena for the right to face Brock. The first one to lose two matches in a series of matches against each other loses a chance at the big belt but then goes for the intercontinental belt. Styles loses twice and goes on to feud with Seth and Ambrose. Seth eventually goes to Smackdown. Bryan vs Cena vs Brock for the title. Cena pins brock.
Have Sasha and Bayley finally feud with Sasha going over to fight Rousey for the title. Loser goes to Smackdown in exchange for Becky..Sasha loses and ends up feuding with Asuka for the smackdown belt. Becky feuds with Rousey for the raw belt.
Mandy Rose goes to Raw and competes with Liv Morgan in a modeling contest. They end up kissing each other and form a tag team while simultaneously both being valets for Braun. They have steamy segments in the third hour..eventually get jealous of each other and have a blood feud..Braun says he will kayfabe marry the winner. Mandy wins and Liv gets desperate for love and is seen flirting backstage with many workers..including Tyler Breeze who turns her down because he likes men.
Lashley feuds with Drew in a best of 3. Series is tied one on one and Liv tries to help Lashley win but ends up costing him the match. Lio calls her a stupid skank and they end up having a match that opens a pay per view.
Brock comes out the night after he loses the belt and says he is leaving for the UFC. Lashleys music hits and Lio and Heyman have a back and forth. Lio says that Lashley is better than brock at wrestling and MMA and is only being held back by racism while Brock just gets privilege because he is white. Brock says none of that matters because Vince is a man of integrity and values skill and drawing power and calls Lashley a nobody and states he wont leave the WWE until he fights Lashley. Lashley goes over in a fukkery filled lumberjack match where the wrestlers all gang up on Brock. Brock disappears to fight in the UFC while Lio starts cutting promos saying that the locker room has Lashleys back and that he is now on a mission to take out all of the "overpushed" wrestlers. He then feuds with Cena for the belt and goes over clean with Vince and Hogan watching. He then smashes Hogan with the belt and poses over his corpse. Hogan literally dies after suffering a stroke from the belt shot to end a pay per view.

Finish Vince's legacy of killing it
Oh and liv is devastated in the ring after losing to lio and scott steiners music hits. He comes to the ring and puts her over his shoulder and leaves.
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.
I almost took you serious until I read the bolded.
