When CM Punk steps into the ring to fight Paul Heyman client Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, he will face a Superstar who, in Punk’s words, is “a monster."

Against The Anomaly, The Straight Edge Superstar will have a near 50-pound weight disadvantage, as well as a reach disadvantage, never mind an obvious shortcoming in the strength department. Depending on how well he recovers from Lesnar’s savage attack on the July 15 edition of Raw — an incident that resulted in whiplash and strained knee and ankle ligaments for Punk — The Voice of the Voiceless may well be competing at less-than-peak form against an athletic abnormality who wrestles a part-time schedule.

But one factor that will not work against Punk when he arrives at Los Angeles’ STAPLES Center is fear. The Straight Edge Superstar concedes that Lesnar is every bit The Beast Incarnate that Heyman makes him out to be, but according to Punk, beasts like Lesnar exist for only one reason: to be slayed.


Punk has vowed to remove any obstacle between himself and the man who double-crossed him, Heyman. Motivated not only by the sting of betrayal, but also the uncomfortably personal remarks spouted by WWE’s extreme strategist, The Best in the World will likely need every ounce of fearlessness if he hopes to topple the biggest obstacle of them all in Lesnar.

The scene on July 15’s Raw did little to instill confidence in Punk supporters. Made to look like a courageous but overwhelmed civilian by The Anomaly, The Straight Edge Superstar displayed plenty of heart in the encounter, repeatedly pulling himself up by the bootstraps and reengaging in battle. Yet, when the dust settled, Lesnar appeared to have won the dust-up handily.

Punk insists the results will be different at SummerSlam. As unforgiving as Lesnar has proven to be, The Best in the World may be even more unrelenting. The Beast took the first several rounds of battle with relative ease, but with the war set to culminate at SummerSlam — inside the domain where Punk feels most at home, the squared circle — Lesnar’s victory is far from a fait accomplished.




Adding in the deeply personal overtones of the Heyman-Punk rivalry, there is reason to believe the fearless and untiring Straight Edge Superstar will stop at nothing to gain the win. Whether or not The Beast Incarnate can actually be slayed, however, might be a different story altogether.

Find out what happens when The Best takes on The Beast at SummerSlam, live on pay-per-view on Sunday, Aug. 18.

I think it depends. I've read about Lesnar/Cena at Summerslam and I've read about Lesnar/Punk at Summerslam.

Obviously if they do Lesnar/Cena there won't be a Lesnar/Punk feud at least yet.

Only if Punk is face. But that wouldn't be very interesting.
Can still be exciting if Punk keeps his edge. I hope that as a face, that just means he will complain less. If he talks trash about Lesnar and doesn't chicken out of fights, then it should be good.

I hope not. These two cannot afford anymore losses at this point. Punk has lost every match since his feud with The Rock except for last night. Brock Lesnar lost when it mattered the most and got his win back at a meaningless PPV. I don't care who wins because the other person would end up looking terrible.

I think it will start tonight

Punk will "Split" with Heyman and beat him up

then Brock Lesnar beats CM Punk up afterwards!

So Definitly Yes!

This bit won't happen, they made a big thing last night in the after show segment with Punk and Heyman of Punk stating that he was Heyman's friend and not his client. Punk isn't going to attack Heyman as part of the split.

I can however see Heyman turning on Punk possibly, maybe through either Axel or Lesnar. I also have a gut feeling that we won't see Punk on Raw tonight though I am curious to see how WWE are going to play this 'face' turn of Punk's out.

I'm a fan of both Punk and Lesnar, but I am not to sure about the kayfabe legitimacy of their feud. Lesnar looks like an actual beast, the most complete one in WWE history too. Punk looks like someone who could wrestle in the cruiserweight/light heavyweight division if it was still around. When they would meet face to face, Punk just can't look like a serious threat towards Lesnar.

Dont Forget that Punk has beaten Monsters before

Undertaker (albeit way back), Mark Henry, Kane, etc....

Paul has a new guy coming and a current one that is the IC champ. It doesn't necessarily have to be Lesnar, which would make ZERO sense and be highly unbelievable that with CM punks finisher move set that he can even beat Lesnar. GTS and his submission hold are move not believable or easily executed against someone like Lesnar.. An RVD feud is about the only positive I could imagine.

Its time for RVD to step it up. And they can use CM Punk to put him over since I am pretty sure, who ever this guy is will go over Punk.

Re: Could Brock Lesnar vs. CM Punk feud start tonight??

no i think heyman and punk will split only for rvd to come to the rescue and beat on punk. then punk will have another month off for a return at a later date. then that is when lesnar will come into the programe. then they will build brock vs the rock at mania.

I doubt Punks even gonna be there tonight tbh, I hope he is but I think the Punk Lesnar program will gradually happen over time.

Re: Heyman now has to choose between Punk and Lesnar

Great way to end RAW. I didn't expect this to happen until after Money in the Bank. I did expect them to feud going into SummerSlam.

Re: Heyman now has to choose between Punk and Lesnar

Why pick either when he's got :axel

But seriously, this was one of the best RAW's and I cant wait to see where this goes. I honestly expected RVD to attack Punk, but Brock is even better.

That Axel pic will haunt my dreams forever. RVD isn't coming back till the MITB ppv.
