10 Ways To Make WWE Great Again

Can WWE make things even better?

Some might think that would be impossible to do, especially with all the great matches, storylines and brawls WWE has already given fans in the new era, but it still feels like a fraction of their full potential. Not only is that evident by the flashes of brilliance that the company has shown storyline wise over the last couple of weeks, but also by the lengths they are willing to go to get there.

In the end, this is a much more powerful WWE than anyone has ever witnessed before and it seems like they are genuine in their intent to make things better. Beyond that, it seems like they are also genuine in their promises to fans, which is why The WWE Universe has been treated to dream match after dream match this year.

With that being said, let's take a look at 10 ways that can make WWE great again. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and also be sure to tell us what you think WWE can do to make things even better.

#10 Move away from PG programming

WWE needs to stop doing family friendly content all the time!

WWE has done this somewhat since the New Era began and while it has been somewhat nice to see more mature topics and storylines tackled, it feels like WWE isn't committed to the idea. In fact, it sometimes feels like the company is just coming up with Attitude Era type segments without thinking them out or how they will benefit a storyline.

For example, when Dean Ambrose finally gave his reason for betraying The Shield, it was criticized for being too personal. Interestingly enough, the company backed off of that part of the character after that, which was deeply disappointing due to the potential and has continued to make Ambrose an overly one-note character.

In the end, WWE needs to bite the bullet and start leaning away from kid-friendly content. They have already proven they have the ability to do so by the airing of The Mandy Rose home wrecker Angle and Alexa Bliss being topless, so what do they have to lose?

#9 Unify The Tag team titles

Should WWE unify The Tag team titles?

The Tag team division on both Raw and Smackdown Live is in massive disarray right now and nothing seems to be making it better. Beyond that, the superstars that are in the division are either bland or unlikable and hard for fans to get behind as champion. If nothing else, its a complete disaster and WWE is running out of options.

With that being said, WWE needs to do the right thing and unify the belts. At least that way, WWE can put the women and men's tag team belts on a level playing field and also work on creating a more exciting title picture.

Again, some might see this as a counterproductive measure, but having two tag team divisions seems meaningless when they can't even get the fans to care about one right now. Beyond all that, WWE unifying the tag team division puts a plethora of superstars on both shows and allows for a lot of new matchup possibilities

#8 Invasion angles

WWE really needs to book more invasion angles!

Why WWE doesn't do invasion angles more often is anyone's guess, but they can usually make for excellent programming. Beyond that, it makes for those once in a lifetime moments that fans absolutely dream of one example of this was the invasion angle on the Raw before Survivor Series, which featured a brawl between Rousey and Lynch.

If nothing else, that was the moment when WWE was at their best and they would be smart to do this again. Of course, WWE doesn't like to do invasion angles between Monday Night Raw and Smackdown Live most of the time, but one can't deny the ratings boost it would give the company if they did outside of Survivor Series season.

They also can't deny that this would be a way to have superstars on both shows without outright ending the brand split, which would be another huge advantage. In the end, it will create a chaotic atmosphere, put both shows at war and probably be the best way for WWE to boost ratings.

#7 Stop relying on Brock Lesnar

How much longer will WWE run with Brock Lesnar as champion?

Whether The WWE wants to admit it or not, they have overly relied on Brock Lesnar as their main attraction for quite some time now and it's had some devastating results. In fact, Lesnar as Universal champion has caused the Universal title picture to dry up, leaving Raw without a full-time Universal champion and has actively held many stars back.

Now this doesn't mean Lesnar can't serve in a limited role or be apart of a high profile storyline, but having him win the title and then staying off television for months isn't working! Beyond that, it's understandable that WWE thought having a part-time champion would up the importance when he did defend the title, but it never ended up having that effect.

If nothing else, WWE needs to stop relying on Lesnar in The Universal title picture and put it on someone that the fans actually care about. Furthermore, WWE needs to put Lesnar off television for a while to help build suspense around his return. Unfortunately for The WWE Universe, they can't miss him unless he's fully gone.

#6 Do more women only pay per views

Hopefully, WWE will do another Evolution pay per view soon!

The Evolution pay per view was a pretty big moment for WWE in 2018. So big in fact that the company should consider doing it again sometime!

Interestingly enough, it also resulted in a plethora of media attention and was one of the best pay per views of the year. With that being said and the women's revolution still going pretty strong, why not go all in and create more women-only pay per views. Furthermore, why not create a women' version of WrestleMania while they're at it?

WWE has more than proved that they can create interesting and engaging storylines around the women and the fans have proven that they love what the WWE is doing. In the end, its a match made in heaven and would honestly feel like a logical next step towards equality between the men and women's division.

#5 Make mature content meaningful

Hopefully, WWE will come up with better segments than this in the future.

Let's be completely honest here!

WWE sometimes has no idea how to write mature content and while some of that has to do with the restrictions placed on them by the women's evolution, it also has to do with how badly the company does at writing these things. In fact, between Mandy Rose's homewrecker angle with Naomi, and Alexa Bliss being topless for absolutely no reason, WWE might want to stay away from this kind of content for the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately for anyone that found those segments cringe-worthy and pointless, WWE is always trying new things to get a ratings pop and that apparently includes sexy content too. Sure, that wouldn't be bad on its own and could even be refreshing if WWE had the right culture in place, but this kind of content needs to be meaningful in order to serve a purpose.

#4 Make The United States title relevant again.

When will WWE make The United States title relevant again?

How long has it been since WWE has focused on the United States title? Also, how often does the belt even get airtime anymore on Smackdown Live? Unfortunately for fans of the red white and blue belt, the answers to those questions is a long time and not very often, which have chipped away at the belts prestige.

Believe it or not, it used to be one of the biggest titles in the entire company, especially during John Cena's open challenges, but it has since fallen into irrelevancy due to several bad booking decisions over the years. Beyond that, the WWE doesn't really give The United States title picture that much television time anymore, which only makes things worse.

If nothing else, the United States title deserves a much bigger program than what it currently has and WWE would probably be smart to put the title on an established veteran for a while. That way, WWE can go back to the open challenge format they did with John Cena and eventually build someone up to dethrone the champion.

#3 Make Shinsuke Nakamura WWE Champion

Shinsuke Nakamura should have won The WWE Title by now

The WWE Universe has wanted to see Shinsuke Nakamura win The WWE Title for a while now, the company still hasn't pulled the trigger on it yet. Of course, they let him come close at WrestleMania 24 and followed it up with a jaw-dropping heel turn, but that still didn't take away from the fact that he lost.

What also didn't help that loss is how poorly he was booked as United States Champion and the way he ultimately lost the title to Rusev. If nothing else, it has been a downward spiral for Nakamura lately and while some fans still stick by the King of Strong Style, others are wondering what made him so great to start with.

In the end, if WWE could just make Nakamura a babyface again and put him back into the title hunt, he would make the perfect people's champion. Beyond that, it would be a great way to keep him in the company's fold and not lose him to competitors like NJPW, AEW or ROH.

#2 Intergender wrestling

Will WWE ever do John Cena versus Becky Lynch?

WWE has shied away from this for quite a while now and it appears an agreement with the toymaker, Mattel, is the reason for that. With that being said, WWE has tried to satisfy the need for inter-gender wrestling with the mixed match challenge, but the men and women of their respective teams barely step in the ring together.

Whether they actually should or not is ultimately up for the fans to decide, but one can't deny that it would at least be interesting to see a Chyna type Intercontinental title run happen again. In fact, with the addition of Ronda Rousey to the roster, why not have her go after The Universal title?

Again, it all apparently stems from a promise to Mattel not to have men on women combat, but WWE really needs to think of the possibilities here! They also need to think of this situation as limiting the women's division and not allowing them to live up their full potential, which is supposed to be what The Women's revolution is about.

#1 Bring back CM Punk

Let's be honest here. WWE needs CM Punk back.

The name has been chanted in arenas years after the man walked out on WWE and while the company has quieted down the chants to a degree, they still exist. Furthermore, every time there is a rumour about WWE talking to CM Punk about a return, fans go absolutely crazy and start to speculate.

If nothing else, bringing back CM Punk is one of the only things that WWE could do that would please their entire fan base. It would also be a chance for Punk to finally have the run he deserved to have years ago and maybe even play out his real-life battles with Vince McMahon in a storyline.

Unfortunately for The WWE Universe, it will probably never happen, but it would be awesome if it ever did! It. It could also be the ratings boost that WWE has needed for quite some time now and really create an anything can happen atmosphere around the product.
