10. Break Triple H And Stephanie Away From The Authority
We should all want "Seth Rollins Has A Posse" t-shirts to exist. Kane wearing said shirt? Comic gold. That posse including Triple H and Stephanie McMahon? Well, that's just bad for business. WWE needs to embrace the death of kayfabe and have Triple H evolve into being the on-screen COO of WWE while Stephanie becomes the Chief Branding Officer on-screen, too. Hunter and Steph as heels just doesn't work anymore because we know that they're such huge babyfaces in real life. Triple H still being on TV as the "Commissioner" axes out him from being an active Raw character and showcasing just how much better he is at being a worker than the entirety of the whole WWE roster combined. At this point, Hunter (and Steph) are 20 year veterans and should be around, yes, but not seen as focal points of the show. Putting the spotlight on wrestlers who need the spotlight in order to swim instead of sink is of absolute importance these days. Also, if you really want to do Triple H versus The Rock at Wrestlemania, the idea of two old dudes being entertaining is better than the lead heel fighting someone who by wrestling the lead heel is also the de facto top babyface, too. WWE shouldn't be shooting their own product in the ass, they should be lifting it up to make it better overall.
