Who will be negatively affected if Brock Lesnar leaves WWE?

#1 The WWE

WWE is going to need a new top heel with Brock Lesnar gone.

Whether anyone wants to admit it or not, Brock Lesnar's departure will leave a huge hole in the WWE for the foreseeable future. This is evident in both his mainstream appeal and ability to add his unique brand of legitimacy to matches and segments.

If nothing else, Lesnar is WWE's most realistic competitor and a larger then life figure that gives fans goosebumps every time his music hits. With everything he brings to the table and all the time that WWE has put into Brock Lesnar during his latest stint, it's going to be a huge loss if he does end up leaving the company.

Keep in mind that this is a man that will have headlined two of the last four WrestleMania's, ended the Streak at WrestleMania 30 and will have held the Universal Title for an entire year if he keeps it until Wrestlemania 34. That's nothing to scoff at and a huge hole WWE is going to have to fill moving forward.

What makes the situation even worse is the fact that while they spent so much of their time and energy building up Lesnar, they've neglected countless other stars who could have gone on to become fan favourites as well. Now, with Lesnar possibly leaving to return to The Octagon, what is WWE going to do with a bunch of unproven young stars?
