#1 Change The Concept Entirely

Champion vs. Champion is one of the many ways to mix it up.
Champion vs. Champion is one of the many ways to mix it up.

This one is a bit extreme, but it could work. Since WWE does at least 11 other shows every year that have the vast majority of their titles defended, doing a show that has those, plus the rest, doesn't make it special.

Why not switch it up? Survivor Series has recently been the home of champion vs. champion matches, but why waste the concept there when you can build a PPV around it? Survivor Series already has a gimmick. Let that show use it.

There are a few things you can do with a completely different concept because WWE has so many titles. Run a couple of champion vs. champion matches. Incorporate the NXT champions.

Do champions vs. all-stars, where some of the top champions team up to take on some of the top challengers in an eight or ten-person tag match.

And of course, you can mix it up every year. Seeing the NXT Champion and the Universal Champion vs. the UK Champion and the WWE Champion would be quite a spectacle, for example.

WWE can also utilize the fact that they have changed the name from Night of Champions to Clash of Champions.

The name implies that champions are clashing with other champions. Not all of the matches have to be that way, but some of them can. If you really want to come out of left field with it, don't do any title matches at all.

Every champion is featured, but every match is a showcase or exhibition match. If a non-champion pins a champion in a tag match, they can get a title shot somewhere down the line.

This concept is certainly much different from what they are doing now and some might think something like this would be best-suited as a Network special (which would also be cool), but if you incorporate it into the regular PPV calendar as a new annual tradition, more eyes will be watching.
