10 Immediate Ways To Make WWE Raw Less Boring

9. WWE Needs A Ranking System

OK. Here's something WWE should absolutely consider. Raw being three hours long sucks because the matches have no meaning. However, what if there were a ranking system instituted for the WWE Championship, Intercontinental Championship and Tag Team championships, too. The US Championship could retain the "defended every week on TV" NWA Television Championship feel for the sake of keeping things different. The Money in the Bank briefcase would be awesome then because if the only way you get a championship match is to be the #1 contender, then Sheamus being say, the #7 contender one week then having the briefcase and not being ranked the next would be intriguing. Mid-card matches with contenders who had rankings attached to their names would then have some sort of heat attached to them. Imagine the idea of Kofi Kingston beating Ryback for the Intercontinental Championship and then having Xavier Woods and Big E as the #2 and #3 contenders. As well, have Adrian Neville as the #4 contender with Ryback as the top guy. Neville having to outlast Kofi's cronies is one story. Neville then having to defeat a fellow babyface and powerhouse in Ryback adds another layer to the story, too.
