Specifically: Now that it is clear Brock wants to be WWE World Heavyweight Champion, how do you keep the title off him for the immediate future? I mean, the WWE clearly didn't put the WWE Title on him at Battleground for a reason, even though Lesnar vs. Undertaker is being billed as the SummerSlam main event.

I've been scratching my head on this one for a while, as it seems that the WWE has booked themselves into a corner on this one. The obstacles are getting more and more contrived. The suspension angle was cute, but now that is up, how do you explain Brock's absences from WWE television?

Say the likely happens, and Brock beats Taker again at SummerSlam. Does it make sense for Paul Heyman to come out and say "Now that Brock Lesnar has beaten The Undertaker, he's going to take three months off before he comes back and challenges for the WWE Title"? That is surely disappointing, right?

They could run an injury angle, but doesn't that weaken The Beast too much? I have no idea how you keep the wheels spinning with this thing and keep the World Title off Brock Lesnar past Night of Champions. The best possible option is to probably "injure" Paul Heyman. If Brock's best friend is hurt because of enemies Brock has made, it not only provides a sympathetic and dramatic context to Brock's arc, but Lesnar might even wait on the sidelines until his comrade and somewhat of a handler returns to enact a focused revenge attack. But who would be insane enough to hurt Paul Heyman? An enraged Seth Rollins? Sheamus? A masochistic Wyatt Family?

Does anyone else have an ideas how you can keep the title off Brock Lesnar without reaching into the same transparent bag of tricks each time?
