10. Setting The Stage

One for diehards and those that have campaigned for longer than Reddit's very existence as well as those that just admire WWE's aesthetic absurdities, a throwback to one of the beloved SmackDown stages of old could set the tone for a memorable evening as well as the grand changes ahead.

Raw's half-pipe uniquely contrasted the prior stoic set-piece it replaced, and SmackDown's should aim to distance itself from another Network's show - not least with them both looking to carve out fresh identities in next week's draft.
