2. All Divas WWE Network Specials
Things you want: ALL WOMEN'S SHOWS ON THE WWE NETWORK. WWE is exploiting the WWE Network to add one-off specialty "PPV-style" programming to the product. Among the ideas that WWE should strongly consider is combining its main and NXT rosters together for an all women's broadcast from Full Sail University. Charlotte vs. Nikki Bella, Naomi vs. Sasha Banks, Natalya vs. Bayley, Paige vs. Becky Lynch, maybe even getting trainer Sara Del Ray to put on the gear again to wrestle Natalya, just think about it. It's the kind of thing that would *actually* draw internet-friendly eyes to the Network, pulling indy fans who love Shimmer and Shine, as well as die-hard WWE fans who are desperately looking for fresh matches ANYWHERE on the roster to want to watch. This is the kind of programming that the Network was ideally made for, insofar as creating "destination" broadcasting for WWE's new portal. If these shows did well on the Network, putting some of this type of content on Raw and Smackdown could be truly revitalizing for WWE's slowly shifting public image.
