Don't think they should abandon Axel completely, think there is an opportunity here...
I would go for Matt Morgan. He has good experience under his belt now, and his size makes him an immediate threat to someone like Punk. Lots of possibilities after that.
You could have Axel taking on a Mankind-esque role in Heyman's stable where he unwittingly believes he is being set up for greatness (while Morgan is now the focus of Heyman's attention), while being constantly left behind to take the beatings from Punk.
You can then have Morgan/Punk, and maybe Lesnar or a further Heyman guy interefering down the line, playing the numbers game against Punk. Axel could then get the sympathetic face turn aiding Punk against the monsters after teasing tensions over a period of months.
You could then do Morgan/Axel, Punk/Lesnar based off of that.
You could get a lot of legs out of an angle like that, and it might help not only establish Morgan in WWE, but create more of a personality and backstory for Axel...
