After losing his proposed streak and championship, Cesaro is punished for "embarrassing Paul Heyman, the greatest manager in wrestling history," by being the "gatekeeper" for Brock Lesnar. Ideally, this would be at a point around say, Survivor Series 2014, and Lesnar would be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. At said point when "The Beast Incarnate" is champion, shifting the company to a storyline of "who can beat Brock Lesnar" would be intriguing. Maybe even slightly babyfacing The Authority would be cool, from the potential standpoint of "Triple H having no idea how to stop 'The Beast'" - and thus searching for an opponent - would be fun. The now-shamed (and re-motivated) Cesaro doing whatever it takes (either via legal or illegal means) to defeat potential Lesnar contenders like Randy Orton, Batista, Roman Reigns, The Big Show, etc. would make for compelling television.
