Eh, didn't we all assume already that Cesaro and Lesnar would eventually feud? Having the feud happen anytime this year would be a bad idea, of course, but it's inevitable that the two will collide at some point now that Cesaro (one of the future faces of the WWE, and thus one of the most susceptible from attaining a rub from Brock Lesnar) is a Paul Heyman Guy.
I personally think that Cesaro will eventually get tired of hearing Heyman boost about Lesnar's Streak-Killing accolade sooner than later, and will basically tell Paul to focus more on him and less on Lesnar when he's the one who's with him side by side every week. Heyman will apologize, and tell Cesaro he means no disrespect and that will be the end of that.
Not that that will instigate a rivalry with Lesnar immediately, but it would be a subtle hint of one coming much later on.
I could see this happening. I notice it seems like Cesaro is acting face and Lesnar is anything but. I mean, when's the last time a "Heyman guy" extended his hand for a pre-match handshake in the ring like Cesaro did? I just don't get the heel vibe from Cesaro as a Heyman guy yet. Heyman, shiiiit, all he has to do is come out and go "My name is Paul Heyman" to get some heat, but Cesaro......I don't see it yet. They are going to have to have him to do something shockingly heelish to push that transition into full swing (pun not intended).
Cesaro is technically still a babyface in a manner of speaking. He's paired up with a heel, but so was Sting when he joined the Four Horsemen as a fan favorite back in late 80's/early 90's WCW. The idea is that in kayfabe, who the fans cheer for and who they hate isn't always supposed to have an impact on a superstar's decision-making in who they decide to associate with or not. In this case, Cesaro knows he has the crowd's support at this point (hence why he would say "We... The People" along with the crowd), but he's not out to antagonize the fans, he just sees that Heyman is a better manager to have at your side than Coulter if you want to advance your career. Just look at some of the guys Heyman has managed or recruited (counting for his ECW promotion) over the years - Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, etc. All whom went on to achieve varying degrees of success. Why wouldn't Cesaro want to associate with this guy if he wants to go straight to the top? At the same time though, they still want the fans to love Cesaro because their long-term plan is to have him break away from Heyman and collide with Brock as a babyface. It's why Cesaro's heel mannerisms have been practically non-existent thus far (except for trying to cost RVD his match last Monday on Raw.)
