It is beginning to seem very likely that Brock Lesnar will leave WWE when his contract expires after WrestleMania. This means that, in kayfabe terms at least, any client Heyman takes on now will likely be the one that replaces Lesnar in his affections. That's a huge title to be able to give a superstar - the man that replaced Brock Lesnar. Lesnar has been a truly dominant force in 2014, leaving the broken bodies of Big Show, Undertaker, Chris Jericho and John Cena in his wake. That's a formidable list of victims. If Heyman has indeed chosen Seth Rollins as his next big project, those are some big shoes to fill, both literally and figuratively. If the Beast does leave, there's plenty of scope for WWE to use his departure as a strong foundation on which to build a rejuvenated post-Authority run for the Seth Rollins character. Rollins would revel in being the man to displace the Beast from the roster of Heyman's clients.
