A thought about Curtis Axel:
The WWE usually leaves a lot of the behind the scenes stuff behind the scenes, of course, but do you think the WWE could get away with that little bit about Axel helping The Rock prepare for his Royal Rumble 2013 match against CM Punk, where Rock won the title, as perhaps a bit of background information on Axel and what Heyman sees in him?
You have it revealed that The Rock went after Axel as a training partner because he grew up with him in the business and always liked what he saw, but he knew that Axel had a past with CM Punk in New Nexus and knew some of his weak spots. Axel helped The Rock prepare and defeat CM Punk, and sources close to Heyman leaked the information who helped get The Rock to that level again so quickly. Heyman began to research Axel and hired him to be a training partner for Brock Lesnar and after seeing Axel's work decided to represent him. When The Rock shows up, it gives Axel a reason to interact with him, and when Brock Lesnar comes back, it gives Brock a corner buddy. But it could also be used to spark tension between CM Punk and Paul Heyman. "You hired the guy who helped The Rock take the WWE Title from me?"
