Lionheart isn't dead. Watts is just using him like a puppet. He tells him what to do. Remember the Cowardly Lion has power but is too much of a yellowbelly to use it. You can't get that angle is Salem just kills him and moves on. We have to go thru a whole season of making him man up and breaking Watts hold on him. Watts most likely isn't a big fighter, just a manipulator. So he'll be ruining Haven from the inside out while Lionheart is just a figure head. I wouldn't be surprised if Lionheart already is willing to tell him where the relic is. It shows who's in control with Watts putting his feet on the table.

I bet now that Tyrian failed to kill Ruby and Qrow gave Oscar the cane Salem will greenlight just flat out killing Ruby and send Tyrian and Cinder to do that while also recovering the relic from Haven. I bet they pull this off all while Adam bangs against the schools gate with the WF. That is if Blake doesn't fight him before he deploys.
