Fantasy booking: CM Punk and Night of Champions

Ed Webster

Leading up to the WWE Night of Champions (NOC) pay-per-view (PPV), CM Punk is sneak attacked by Curtis Axel and some Paul Heyman hired guns (3MB, perhaps?). This beatdown, combined with the injuries from his match with Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, make him medically unable to compete in an Intercontinental title match at NOC.

However, Axel and Heyman insist on having a sham match anyway. They come out and cut a promo asking Punk to come down and forfeit the match proper. His music hits and he does a promo on the ramp, saying Heyman and his goons have temporarily beat him physically but he will beat Heyman at his own game; He will beat him mentally. The fine print of his NOC contract states that Punk will select his replacement in the event of injury.

Therefore, Punk will prove he is a better manager than Heyman and will take the IC belt away from his prized protege. Then:

"Ladies and gentleman, this is a not a Paul Heyman guy. This is a CM Punk guy. COLT CABANA!!"

Cabana runs out and takes on Axel. Punk hobbles to ringside and Heyman freaks out and runs through the crowd, abandoning Axel. After a decent match, Colt wins the title and celebrates with Punk.
