The logical improvement for SmackDown! would be to have Shawn Michaels drafted there. If the General Manager/Executive Assistant/Stevie Richards get to pick names, when Jonathan Coachman picks Triple H, it would only make sense for Theodore Long to follow with a pick of Shawn Michaels.
People laugh at me when I suggest this, but I think having HBK play an on-screen mentor role to Paul London & Brian Kendrick would be great. That doesn't mean a main event push for London & Kendrick, so I'm not suggesting that, I only think it would be nice if Michaels got them over via association. Maybe the occasion six-man tag team main event.
Personally, I would mark out for a feud that consisted of Shawn Michaels leading his students of Paul London & Brian Kendrick against the products of the Hart Family Dungeon: Chris Benoit, Harry Smith and TJ Wilson. If you want to expand the feud, have Paul Burchill return to SmackDown!, and join William Regal and Dave Taylor. I guess Finlay would be fine in his role, as well. To go even further, if CM Punk ends up on SmackDown! which I think is a very real possibility), you can bring in Colt Cabana and Ace Steel as his partners. You'd have the established veterans of Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, William Regal, Dave Taylor and possibly Finlay helping out the newer stars of Paul London, Brian Kendrick, Harry Smith, TJ Wilson, CM Punk, Ace Steel, and possibly Paul Burchill.
