Vince McMahon did what he has done countless times throughout his career on Monday Night and that's power walk down the ramp, climb into the ring and address his fanbase. While some thought his appearance was to announce a new draft or effectively end the brand split, he instead offered promises of change and going back to what the fans wanted.
McMahon was then joined by Stephanie McMahon, Triple H and Shane McMahon, who all offered similar sentiments to The WWE Universe, which comes after months of less than stellar programming. With that being said, what exactly do they mean by all that?
While an official answer was never given and probably won't be made clear immediately, here are ten things The McMahon's need to change in WWE. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us what you think WWE needs to change in order to make things better.
#10 Bring back the hardcore title
its no secret that the mid-card on both Raw and Smackdown Live could use some sprucing up and what better way to do that than reintroducing the the hardcore title and the 24/7 role. Think about it! Not only will it give the mid-card stars something to fight for, it will also create a chaotic nature on both Smackdown Live and Raw.
Beyond that, it could be a great way to better establish stars like Elias, Finn Balor or even Baron Corbin and give them an actual storyline going forward. If nothing else, the belt being reintroduced will achieve all that and more. It will also be the piece of nostalgia that fans need to get interested in the product again!
#9 Make the tag team division great again.
Whether The WWE Universe wants to admit it or not, the tag team division is the worst in the entirety of WWE and continues to spiral downward day after day. Not only is that extremely evident by the joke fodder that AOP became after their match against The Bar at Survivor Series, but also by lackadaisical way WWE has booked this division lately.
Believe it or not, fans deserve better than these piss-break matches that serve as tag team matches and the company needs to start caring about storytelling again when it comes to this division. Beyond that, they need to stop getting so sucked up in a joke that they ruin a team that is supposed to be running their division.
Finally, WWE needs to do what they have done with every other division in WWE and make things personal again. At least that way fans will have a reason to care about whats going on and it could serve to raise the prestige of the division again.
#8 Put the Smackdown Live Women's title back on Becky Lynch
Wow, did WWE give up on Becky Lynch or what?
While WWE was supposedly originally behind Becky Lynch, even to the point of Vince McMahon using her as an example of a superstar that reached for the brass ring, she is now titleless and embroiled in a feud with Ronda Rousey. Of course that sounds like a positive thing and a great step forward for her, it comes at the expense of her title.
Think about it! Becky Lynch was doing some pretty exciting things with that title. She had some amazingly great matches with that title and her fiery attitude made her a champion that fans could be proud of. To cut it off like WWE did was just bad business and really hurt the momentum that Lynch had.
In the end however, WWE really needs to correct this mistake and put the title back on Becky Lynch sooner rather than later. Keep in mind that this doesn't mean Asuka didn't deserve the win, especially after the last six months of her career, but fans have to realize that it came at the expense of someone who was finally starting to hit their stride.
#7 Make Alexa Bliss the Raw General Manager
Bliss still doesn't have an on-camera roll after The December 17th episode of Monday Night Raw went off the air, which is interesting considering the fact that Vince McMahon wanted her on television as much as possible. In fact, many rumors circulated that the plan moving forward was to keep her on television.
With that being said however, Bliss wasn't seen or even mentioned during the latest episode of Raw, which has some fans worried about what's next for her. Of course if WWE wants to make Raw better and actually follow through on their promise of making the fans The Authority, then they absolutely need to make Alexa Bliss the General Manager.
Not only would it be a great way to make her the authority figure that Raw needs right now, it also eventually sets her up for a top level feud once she is able to compete in the ring again. If nothing else, it gives her something to do while she recovers from her concussion injury and allows Kurt Angle to re-enter the active roster as well.
#6 Have Ember Moon win The Raw Women's Title
Ember Moon has deserved a shot at The Women's title for quite some time now and while she has come close once or twice, she always seems to be thwarted right before receiving the title shot. Unfortunately for Moon, that trend continued Monday Night on Raw when she lost the nine women gauntlet match for a chance at Ronda Rousey.
With that being said however and the likelyhood of Ronda Rousey moving to Smackdown Live in mind, it looks like the fans could get what they want after all. In fact, if Becky Lynch and Charlotte end up invading Raw next week and costing Rousey the title, Moon could easily be booked to take on Natayla for the title at WrestleMania 35.
Of course that requires Moon to win The Royal Rumble or be inserted into the match another way, but she would by far be the best option for a women's division storyline heading into WrestleMania 35. Not only that, her versus Natayla could act as a crowning moment for Moon, which will establish her for years to come.
#5 Take The U.S Title off of Shinsuke Nakamura
WWE might have had good intentions when they put The United States title on Shinsuke Nakamura a couple of months ago, but it has been nothing short of a disaster from day one. In fact, Nakamura has been on and off television for months now and is barely ever given a chance to defend his title.
Beyond that, WWE uses some of the most lackluster storytelling imaginable when it comes to Nakamurla. Not only is that evident by how stop and go his push as United States Champion has gone so far, but also by how little WWE adds to the story when they do decide to do something with him.
If nothing else, there are a lot of better candidates that deserve a shot at the title and WWE is wasting their time by keeping it on Nakamura. Furthermore, WWE needs to do something to make Nakamura look threatening again or maybe even just turn him face again and put him in a feud with Daniel Bryan.
#4 End The Seth Rollins versus Dean Ambrose rivalry
Believe it or not, The WWE Universe hates the current feud between Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, which means that the company will most likely be bringing an end to it sooner rather than later. In fact, between the boos the two superstars solicited during their match at TLC and the lackluster storyline progression so far, it probably needs to just end.
Of course WWE is going to have to do that in dramatic fashion and what better way to do that than to have a loser leaves Raw match between the two sometime in the future. Think about it! Not only does it serve to separate the two stars and end the struggling feud, it also gives one of them a fresh start on Smackdown Live.
If nothing else, that's the best you can ask for after the disaster that was their match at TLC and it also allows fans to forget about Ambrose's nasty words about Roman Reigns. then again, it might be hard to forget about that, especially after what he said and the gravity of it, but maybe there is a chance he will do better on Smackdown Live.
#3 Push Finn Balor
Will Finn Balor ever get the push he deserves?
While Balor has been on a bit of a winning streak lately, especially after knocking off Drew McIntyre at TLC and costing The Scottish psychopath his winning streak two weeks earlier, WWE still doesn't seem to have much for him to do. Unfortunately for Balor, that likely means toiling away in the mid card and being used to help elevate top heels.
Interestingly enough however, WWE has promised to make changes to The WWE and start listening to the fans again, which could mean that they end up finally pushing Balor again! Maybe WWE could even sneak him into The Universal title picture during WrestleMania season somehow, thus finally giving him another chance to win back the big red belt.
In the end, it might be wishful thinking, but if WWE wants to listen to the fans, it would seem that this would be one of the many things they listen about. If not, what was the point of even coming out there on Monday Night and making a statement like that? Not only does it look bad if they don't follow up on it, it also just gives fans false hope in the process.
#2 Debut the women's tag team titles
Where is it WWE?
The company has continued to tease this belt's debut for months now and while it honestly feels like we're on the cusp of it, WWE continues to hold off on it again and again. With that being said and the company promising changes, it makes sense for The Women's tag team championships to be debuted sooner rather than later.
In fact, this is arguably one of the things that sits atop The WWE Universe's wish list and would be a great way for the company to take another step forward in the Women's evolution. If nothing else, its something that will give more women on each roster TV time and could become something special if done right.
Of course that's entirely up to WWE and what they decide to do with these belts this time around, but having Bayley and Sasha Banks as inaugural champions doesn't sound like that much of a bad idea. It could even be something that gets the younger female audience excited about the new belts, which would be important in establishing the new gold.
#1 Take The Universal Title off Brock Lesnar
If The McMahon family wants to live up to its new mantra of the fans being the authority in WWE, than they absolutely need to get The Universal title off of Brock Lesnar as soon as possible. While some might think a match would be necessary to do this, one has to remember that Lesnar has broken the 30 day defend rule and can be stripped of the title.
Not only would it be a shocking moment in WWE's history if The McMahon family actually did that, it would hit the reset button on a Universal title picture that desperately needs it. Beyond that, it instantaneously puts guys like Finn Balor, Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins up for it, which is sure to get fans excited.
In the end, some fans mind find stripping the title from Lesnar to be counter productive, but WWE could easily mix it into the storyline. For example, one has to remember that Lesnar won the title after being ambushed by Corbin at The Crown Jewel pay per view, which could rule the win invalid.
