5 Things that must happen if WWE is to succeed in 2017

Sweeping changes to both Raw and SmackDown Live would help make WWE better

#3 Bring back Jim Ross

Jim Ross would be a welcomed addition to the Raw or Smackdown Live brand

Although this seems like a stretch, bringing back JR could benefit ratings. Pairing him with Mauro Ranallo would ensure more interest. Everything in a match is predicated on the story told. There is no one better than Ross on the microphone. A tag team with Ranallo is gold.

Find a way to make Corey Graves the lead on Raw and cut the excess in the commentary department. In this case less is more. I like JBL and his heel commentary, but his work with David Otunga is weak. Byron Saxton can still be a solid commentator, in the right situation.
