WWE: Possible outcomes of CM Punk vs. Curtis Axel match at Night of Champions

CM Punk, after being assaulted by Paul Heyman and Curtis Axel last week, delivered a strong promo on RAW. It became very clear that Punk is now desperate to get his hands on Axel, and more specifically Heyman, at Night of Champions.

The bout started in the Money in the Bank PPV when Heyman cost Punk the opportunity to get hold of the Money in the Bank briefcase. Since then Punk has been on an unending quest to get his hands on Heyman. The best in the world has had to face the tough obstacle of Brock Lesnar, and despite losing to him at SummerSlam has remained defiant and gone ahead in his hunger for revenge.

Though Heyman has managed to remain unscathed till now, RAW two weeks back showed just how dangerous Punk can be. The Wolverine nearly got hold of his former manager and thanks to Axel, Heyman managed to turn the tables around. But it’s not too long for that time to return again as Heyman will have to brace himself when he will face Punk at Night of Champions.

So with such a huge match at bay, what are the possible outcomes that we can expect from it? How will these results affect the storyline? Let us now look at the most possible results that we can make Night of Champions interesting.

1. Punk beats Axel and gets his hand on Heyman

This is the simplest result that will also put an end to this feud. The feud lost a lot of meaning the moment Lesnar vanished from the storyline. Though Axel is made to look strong, he lacks the charisma and the ‘it’ factor that Lesnar had.

The only thing that this feud has managed to do is make Punk look less weak. Hence it is prudent that the feud is allowed to end with Punk getting his hands on Heyman.

2. Punk beats Axel, but out comes a new Heyman guy

For those who do not wish to see the feud end, this angle can be interesting. This particular angle has been in discussion for quite some time now, as not many are happy with Axel being projected as Heyman’s only client. Fans have been demanding a new client to enter the storyline, which will possibly allow Axel to continue his chores with the Intercontinental Title.

After beating Axel, Punk can get his hands on Heyman but could be stopped by a new Heyman guy in the form of Wade Barrett or any other wrestler in need of a spotlight. Plus Heyman can bring out that Axel has been a disappointment as his client – especially after losing to Kofi Kingston – thereby forcing him to find a new recruit. This way Axel can get out of this feud and blame Kingston for the happenings.

There are several different options that WWE can come up with as far as Heyman’s new client is concerned. Barrett looks like a deserving choice and has been around for sometime in the business now. Pitching him against Punk will not only give his character greater meaning but will also ensure the storyline stays fresh.
