#2 Do backstage segments throughout the show
Remember that episode when Stone Cold disguised himself as a doctor? Or how about when he was a fireman and went on to chase Booker T through a supermarket. What?!
Nothing like that ever happens anymore. The pacing of an episode of Raw, SmackDown, and even NXT is predictable. There will most often be a 20-minute opening promo, followed by matches, with each respective storyline segmented and isolated from one another.
As a result, it's easy to tune out once you've seen what you're interested in, or only tune in for the segments you want. You might just skip the show entirely and watch what you want the next day. It's too formulaic.
WWE should instead intersperse skits throughout the episode that follow the major players and angles, shortening the matches. The storyline then gets built up, and the big, long blowoff matches happen on pay per view.
This format was so successful because it worked and it should be brought back. A show that follows the likes of Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch around throughout the full two or three hours is far more compelling than one that has several throwaway tag team matches.
