Paul Heyman has been pretty clear about Brock Lesnar's intentions to eventually win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, and Money in the Bank may be the perfect time for that to happen. The possible storylines WWE could get out of it are abundant, but the biggest payoff would be a match between Lesnar and Bryan at SummerSlam. Not only does Lesnar winning the title at Money in the Bank save WWE from having to make Bryan drop the title to him, but it gives them the chance to build Bryan up as the underdog just like they did at WrestleMania. Beating Triple H, Randy Orton and Batista in the same night at WrestleMania was huge, but defeating the guy who broke Undertaker's streak may be even bigger. Eddie Guerrero won the WWE title from Lesnar in 2004. Guerrero's win would have been a big deal no matter who he was facing, but Lesnar being the man to put him over made it that much more special. Lesnar is a beast who not only has wrestling ability, but genuine fighting skills. His image makes him appear nearly unbeatable, and having him be the person who Bryan triumphantly wins the title from would create yet another highlight reel moment for Bryan's eventual Hall of Fame induction.
