...differently in todays WWE, what would it be? However, there's one catch: you can't change ANYTHING to do with storylines, and you can't fire any wrestlers (you can hire someone, but please don't be boring and just say 'get Punk back'). No making Ziggler the champ. No sending Cena away permanently or anything like that. You can make one decision big or small, but it doesn't affect todays storylines.
I'd alter SmackDown (Thursday nights & live) with the hope that it would become a strong brand again. Alternatively I might hire Kurt Angle and force him to take a year to sort his sh*t out before coming back and doing a couple of years of just having 5* matches left right and centre with guys like Bryan and (if hes back) Punk. You could do a bunch of different stuff though - hire a wrestler or make a new legend contract, commission a new DVD or figure, induct someone into the HOF, buy TNA, fire Kevin Dunn etc. I'm thinking WF can come up with some really creative and interesting ideas here.

FIRE KEVIN DUNN BECAUSE HE HATES NXT AND I LOOVE IT.
Seriously, I honestly would love to have Smackdown Live and make it must see again. Not just good matches, but have it advance storylines. If I have to do th ebrand split again, I would. But still, the main thing that I would do if make Smackdown relevant again.

I'd drop all but Summerslam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania and add King of the Ring as PPVs.
Start building up longer/more meaningful feuds. Gimmick matches like MITBs, HIACs and ECs would be part of any of the above PPVs.

That way WrestleMania is the big PPV and then the other 4 all have some form of branding, whilst still being epic events.

Hire people who know how to book wrestling, and not how to write a 2 Star movie.

Start sliding Cena down the card gradually and using the established names like Cena, Orton, Show, Henry, Del Rio, Sheamus to help create new stars and put them on that level where they're all able to be swapped in to the main event at a moment's notice should the situation call for it.
I'd also give the book to Heyman and Dutch Mantel with Hunter as their filter and let the games begin.

If I could do one thing different, I would change the shows schedule around.
Monday – Raw (live and back to 2 hours) Tuesday – Smackdown (live) Wednesday – NXT (live and 2 hours) Thursday – SuperStars (2 hours, 1 taped before Raw and 1 taped before Smackdown) Friday – Main Event (2 hours, 1 taped before Raw and 1 taped before Smackdown)

Raw goes back to 2 hours and every other show gets dropped except for NXT.
Like AF said, also cut down on PPVs.

The Brand Extension would be great to see again indeed, but I’m okay with it never coming back. Instead, after a unification match, I’d have the Intercontinental (United Continental if it was up to me) Champion head the Blue show, while the Big W heads the Red show. The Tag Team Champions and Divas Champion can cross brand.

I would wish for unlimited wishes, have the divas wrestle topless, have CM Punk return, make Michael Cole shut up, resurrect Chris Benoit, and make Dean Ambrose invincible.

I would take advantage of John Cena's status to actually put over new talents. The dude is Teflon. He could lose and it wouldn't hurt his status. That's what bugged me about the Wyatt feud. Bray was hurt by that rivalry because Cena just HAD to win, even though he actually didn't have to.
At this point in his career, Cena shouldn't still be winning championships, he should be helping to build and put over the next generation.
Also, I would bring back the brand split. I liked when Raw and Smackdown were separate entities with their own distinct styles. Treat them like separate companies under the same WWE umbrella. Only mix them on special occasions like the Big 4, just like it used to be.
I know you said one thing, but to me they go hand in hand, because I would have Cena on the Smackdown brand putting over and building talent for their eventual top runs on the flagship show.
