#8 Extend the proverbial Olive Branch to former WWE stars

One of the major themes of most pro wrestling shows of the regional era was 'new stars and old favorites.'

WWE has enjoyed the efforts of dozens of the world's best professional wrestlers over the years of its existence. Some of these wrestlers remain on good terms with the company, such as Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase and Shawn Michaels.

Other stars, however, have felt disenfranchised by the WWE and have been quite vocal about it on social media. While in some cases it's best for WWE to cut its losses, such as with Ryback, other former WWE stars still have a lot to offer for the company.

CM Punk is high on the list, as is current Impact champion Johnny Impact/Morrison/Mundo/Nitro. These men are stars and can draw fans to the WWE product, and if the company wants to stay on top it might want to extend the olive branch and try to get these stars back under contract.
