1. A Tournament To Determine The Main Event At Wrestlemania
Here's an idea whose time has come. WWE brought back the King of the Ring event to the WWE Network this year and it actually went quite well from an in-ring standpoint. As well, the past two Royal Rumbles have been insufferable events that have ended with the crowd booing the winner. If 2015's winner is say, Brock Lesnar, that might be incredibly not-so-entertaining, too. Here's a fix. The idea is simple. There's a 32-man tournament that starts on the first Raw of January and continues on every Raw until the final four, who go on to January's "King of the Ring" to determine the man who will face the WWE Champion at WrestleMania. The main event of January's show being a match where a guy gets to potentially have a thrilling five-star match that has people on the edge of their seats? Or, would we rather have the sad and embarrassing moments that befell Roman Reigns and Batista's Royal Rumble wins? Presented in this manner, the choice is rather simple.
