I just hope PPV's actually start feeling like PPV's again.
Now they just feel like an episode of Raw with a few titles on the line
That's how I feel too for the most part. Unless it's the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, or SummerSlam, pay-per-views aren't really worth tuning in to see anymore.
Hell, the only reason I'm watching Battleground is for the Shield Triple Threat.

If they don't change the format or structure of either show, it will mostly be the same.
They need to come up with new ways to approach wrestling. LU has found a way to do something new. Even TNA seems to have worked new things into the way they present their product to their audience. Can WWE come up with something new, or will it just continue to be the same thing every week? Just people standing in the ring with a mic, sometimes by themselves, sometimes with other people, forever arguing over the meta-business angles that seem to have taken over WWE? Occasional cut to a backstage interview with someone awkwardly standing in front of a giant WWE sign or television set? Same looking intros for every wrestler? Same sets every single week?
I know that many were excited about the D-Bry/Mankind reveals, but honestly...I looked at that as a sign that they still can't come up with new things. Why is every WWE storyline nowadays centered around some top-down perspective? I'm sick of being told the people behind the scenes are more important than the actual wrestlers. It seems that most promotions have this aspect, but WWE focuses like 50 percent of its storylines around that.
