#1 Have a title change or multiple title changes

A title change would go a long way towards making SmackDown's first show on Fox stick in people's memory.

While having the WWE Championship changing hands on night one on Fox would be a huge deal, it would be a bigger deal if someone new won the title or if it was among a few titles that changed hands on the night.

Since the tag titles aren't always booked the best, it would be easy to have either one or both sets of titles, including the Women's and SmackDown titles, change hands on the show. Depending on who walks away from SummerSlam with the belts, it would either be great if heels lost or a fresh new team won.

Another certainty that would help things is that if the Intercontinental Championship was either defended in a gimmick type match or if it changed hands. Put the IC Title up for grabs in a ladder match or a Fatal Four Way. Have a gauntlet match but an equal one not rife with McMahon interference.

Simply put, title changes often make episodes stick in your memory instead of weeks after weeks of promos parades, Shane McMahon going over talent and the New Day merely showing up. The variety will help make things different rather than following the same disjointed formula.

Not every title changing hands is necessary, but at least some of or all of the belts should be defended on the first episode on Fox. Having one or two change hands and in memorable fashion would certainly make the show stand from the crowd.
