CM PUNK DEF. INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION CURTIS AXEL

The only thing less surprising than the WWE Universe’s App 

vote for this match – if CM Punk beats Curtis Axel, he gets 

Paul Heyman in the ring – was the fact that, when it came 

time to pay the proverbial piper, Heyman managed to worm 

his way out of his comeuppance. Axel took advantage of 

Punk’s bloodlust for Heyman to strong-arm the former WWE 

Champion into the defensive when Punk took his eye off the 

ball.Though it seemed like Axel would pull off the victory, a 

Go to Sleep sent the gloating champion to the showers. The 

Intercontinental Champion then handed his boss a Kendo 

stick and the ECW mastermind went to work, hacking away 

at The Straight Edge Superstar until he was overcome with 

emotion and slumped up the ramp, looking for all the world 

as heartbroken as Punk was physically broken.
