Towards the end of his career in the company, Punk faced the challenge of challenges and stared straight into his eyes.

In a tale of betrayal, Paul Heyman was the focus of the rivalry. After ditching CM Punk to manage Brock Lesnar full time, Paul Heyman had the audacity of challenging Punk.
He even called out Punk for a Handicap Match against him and Lesnar. Punk outsmarted both of them on that occasion by attacking them from behind.
He used a recording camera to catch Lesnar off guard. Paul Heyman just managed to escape, by using Curtis Axel as a means to slow down Punk. CM Punk, however, made a statement of axel by delivering a GTS to him in front of Lesnar.
Paul Heyman played a huge role in CM Punk vs Brock Lesnar
CM Punk delivered a huge Go To Sleep to Brock Lesnar and was about to win the match. However, Paul Heyman interfered and broke the count. The match was a No Disqualification, so all this was permitted.
