The betrayal felt by CM Punk leading up to this match, is what fed the angle what it needed in order to make it a good story. Punk, the former Paul Heyman Guy, sought revenge against his former advocate for costing him the Money In The Bank Ladder Match.
In the weeks leading up to this payoff contest, Heyman played a series of cat and mouse games, trying to get under Punks skin, with the intention of costing Punk the match at TLC. After all, there was no way Heyman was going to let his former client get his hands on him.

Once the bell rang at TLC, Punk took care of business against Ryback and then shifted his attention towards the cowardly Paul Heyman, who awaited Punk like an animal facing his imminent slaughter.
Once Punk made it to the top of the cell structure, there was nowhere for Heyman to go. At last, he had to meet his reward for stabbing his former client in the back. Punk finished the job by whipping Paul Heyman with a Kendo stick for several minutes.
However, I'm certain it seemed like an eternity for Heyman.
