#4 Raise the stakes, just on a different event
A decade ago, WWE tried out the concept of a brand supremacy pay-per-view event, and called it, fittingly, Bragging Rights. They only did it twice, in 2009 and 2010, when the brand split was already in shambles, but at least there was an attempt to make it important. Well, in 2009, the winners got a trophy. In 2010, they got, actually nothing. Scratch that. They didn't try to make it important. It was a gimmick to try to get people to watch. That's the same thing they have been doing for the last few years, only better, because the vast majority of the event is predicated on brand versus brand matches, which was not the case for the Bragging Rights event.
WWE has a chance to use the brand versus brand concept in a meaningful way. For example (and this comes from Ember Moon's appearance on WWE Backstage), the winning team of one of the 5-on-5 elimination tag matches could earn a chance to wrestle each other on a different night with the 30th spot in the Royal Rumble on the line. Another way to shake it up would be making the champion vs. champion matches more than just exhibitions. Don't give the winner both titles, but have the losing champion lose his belt, and have a tournament or other type of match (that he/she isn't allowed to part of) to crown a new champion. Stakes! Make it important!
Just don't do it at Survivor Series. The event already has a great selling point. Much like the Royal Rumble, WWE has an eponymous match that can be used. By having the event dominated primarily by 4-on-4 and 5-on-5 elimination matches, you bring back the concept that WWE created in the first place, and it makes the event different, and therefore more meaningful. That brings us to our next point.
