I feel like the way WWE has booked it's PPVs devalues some of the gimmick matches that were once used as grudge matches in heated feuds. The gimmick matches that come to mind are: Extreme Rules (aka Street Fight or whatever they call it), TLC, and HIAC. In the past, these matches were used to be the conclusion to a heated feud. Why put them as annual matches leading the viewer to know what's coming? If I were in charge of WWE's creative booking of their PPV schedule, here's how I would book next year's schedule and why I would change some of them.
January - Royal Rumble (One of the big four)
February - Elimination Chamber (I would keep it because the contenders for the match have to compete for their spots to even get a shot in it. Also, it draws the possibility of the WWE WHC changing hands before Wrestlemania.)
March/April - Wrestlemania (The Super Bowl of the WWE and one of the big four.)
May - Payback (The reason I think it should go after WM is because it should be the backlash or revenge PPV for WM. It could set up grudge matches like Extreme Rules, Last Man Standing, I Quit, or Cage.)
June - Money in the Bank (I think this PPV can be used to elevate the US Title so the annual MITB match should be for it. The match itself already consist of a ladder match so maybe the WWE WHC can consist of a TLC match or the MITB itself match can turn into a TLC match as well).
July - King of the Ring (Looking at Cesaro's attire made me think how much they should bring it back. The tournament should be for who the next contender to the IC title is or for the IC title itself.)
August - Summerslam (One of the big four)
September - Night of Champions (I like the original concept of it where every title is defended on this night and that's what it should be!)
October - Halloween Havoc (This should be rehashed as WWE Halloween Havoc) This PPV could be used to set up gimmick matches like Inferno, HIAC, Tables (Flaming), and I would say First Blood (well I guess it's to PG now for it but it would be cool).
November - Survivor Series (One of the big four)
December - Battleground (I actually like the name. The PPV itself should consist of some multi-man matches like Triple-Threat, Fatal-4-Way, 2 vs. 2 vs. 2, or any other multi-man combinations. Also, a great addition would be to bring War Games as the main draw. In addition, this PPV should be the backlash to the Survivor Series traditional multi-man match.)
So what do you guys think? How would you set up WWE's PPV schedule if you were in charge of creative booking?
