4. Form A Latino Stable In WWE And Resurrect The Trios Titles
Its been done before, but this wouldnt be some gangbanger parody or glorified tag team. Del Rio could run a crew composed entirely of Mexican performers from AAA, working only RAW and the occasional Smackdown or special event. As El Patrón for real, Del Rio would have an onscreen authority in WWE that hed never had before. Babyface or heel, that changes peoples perceptions of you - and the possibilities are considerable. Performers from AAA could challenge for the tag team titles, could help to get the Lucha Dragons over with the WWE crowd by entering into a feud with them featuring luchadors doing their thing properly in WWE for the first time in a long while. There could also be the possibility of reinstating WCWs old World Six-Man Tag Team Championship titles - possibly by retitling them the WWE Trios Tag Team Championship, or something similar - and having AAA performers hold them, at least in the beginning. WWE have been working on six man tags as television main events for years now, and have been actively pushing three-man units like The Shield, The Wyatt Family and The New Day in high profile storylines. At present, theres also The Cosmic Wasteland with Stardust and the Ascension (who formed in September and have done very little since), King Barrett, Sheamus and Rusev had some fun teaming up recently, and there are plenty of other talented WWE performers with little or nothing to do on television: Damien Sandow, Bo Dallas and Adam Rose would work well together, for example. The trios match is a staple of lucha libre, and there could be tremendous appeal in having genuine luchadors kickstart a trios division in WWE. Of course, that would mean increasing the profile of the normal tag division to compensate, or risk burying them even further than they are already.
