You may or may not remember, but CM Punk wasn't always a "Paul Heyman Guy." In fact, at this particular time, Heyman was the advocate for Curtis Axel. WWE was attempting to give the third generation superstar a chance to finally get himself over. Not only had they put the Intercontinental Championship on him at one point, but they had also enlisted him with the services of one of the greatest managers of all time. Heyman was able to fill in the blanks, so to speak, in Axel's body of work. Unfortunately, even that would prove not to work in getting the offspring of Mr. Perfect over.

Towards the end of 2013, they ran a storyline where Heyman was Punk’s ultimate antagonist. However, as a part of the angle, Paul was in a wheelchair, trying to ensure Punk wouldn't put his hands on him. Much to Heymans chagrin, Punk reached a boiling point during one episode of Monday Night RAW. As Punk made his way down the entrance ramp, he went through Curtis Axel relatively easily and eventually stood directly in front of a helpless Paul Heyman.
As the crowd exploded as Punk took Heyman on an in-ring roller coaster ride and spinning him in circles before finally dumping him on his head and commencing to give Paul the beating of a lifetime, using the kendo stick he pulled from under the ring apron. This was one night when Heyman could've surely used Brock Lesnar in his corner.
