I'm basically looking for anything you think would change the WWE for the better with their product, not like ending the brand split or going back to a higher rating, though I agree with both of those, but instead things like changing characters, adding new stars, creating new matches and storylines you think would work.
I would personally...
make Chavo a serious character, have him lie, cheat and steal like Eddie, it's a brilliant gimmick and he's the only person the audience would accept it to be given to. He could have fueds with lower card wrestlers like Noble for a while, then gradually build up and have him as a dect midcarder.
When Legacy runs its course, push Ted hard with the million dollar gimmick. He's young and good looking, bring his dad in for a while, have him buy his way out of matches, arrive in a limo, pay people to help him win matches, bring back the million dollar title etc. This gimmick, if updated, could work amazingly. Even have him drop money from the roof, an instant way to get over with the crowd. He could fued with upper midcarders for a while and then get a title shot, winning from Cena or someone else over, possibly after buying the help of show or someone else.
Have MVP come out in suits a lot, cut more promos and ditch the ridiculous ring attire. MVP wont be the next rock, but he can easily be a future world champion.
trim from the roster.. alicia fox, duggan, festus, michelle mccool, curt hawkins, jimmy wang yang, mike knox, layla, ranjin singh, both bella sisters, dj gabriel, zack ryder. courtney taylor, tiffany, eve and Jilian.
Have a unified womens title, don't call it the divas title or have that ridiculous butterfly belt, it's just insulting to the female wrestlers. Having bikini matches or whatever is fine, but use maria, kelly kelly etc for them, not the actual female wrestlers. Have Katie Lea, Beth Phoenix, Mickie James, Melina, Gail Kim, Natalya all compete for the title and you can have a pretty amazing womens title picture.
Have a tag tournament for the unified tag titles (and make one belt!) and have legacy, dx, hart dynasty, wgtt, jericho and show, cryme time and ezekial johnson and koslov. If the final team entered, facing Jerishow in the first round, is a returning edge with christian as his partner, it would go over massively, begin the fued with edge with an extra dimension, having e&c beat jerishow in the match, but then having jerishow interfere in the next round, costing e&c the match. Christian can then fued with show, giving him something to do. Have hart foundation beat dx in the final, pushing them massively. This gives some great matches, ups the significance of the title dramatically, pushes a lot of teams and showcases otherwise unused but good talent like shelton and haas and cryme time.
Have PPV's with all good quality matches, not just filler like Kane and Khali.
Have Kane be burnt and return masked as the monster he was originally. Have a show of him destorying everyone, like when bearer left him before, have him unable to be hurt, sitting up at everything. He's willing to put people over, but rather than getting a cheap victory over a watered down Kane, build him up massively and then have an up and coming star beat him, this could also be a way to give him a short title reign as a thank you, while pushing someone at the same time.
Have edge return face and at some point fued with Punk as the rated r superstar, against the straight-edge gimmick.
Use the undercard of the show beneficially. Have some actual talented wrestlers compete in quick-paced matches to get the crowd warmed up, like wcw did with the crusierweights. Helms, Noble, Chavo, Bourne and more crusierweights the wwe brings in could put on a good show, better than jilian singing, hornswoggle running around etc.
