CM Punk vs Paul Heyman Confirmed For Monday Night Raw on 8/12

After CM Punk was laid out by a vicious F-5 by Brock Lesnar Monday night on RAW, Paul Heyman challenged CM Punk to a wrestling match during the August 12th edition of Monday Night Raw. The match between former “best friends” will take place just six days before Punk takes on Lesnar at SummerSlam on August 18th.

Heyman and Punk have been at each other’s throats, at least verbally, since Heyman attacked Punk during the WWE Championship Contract Money In The Bank Ladder Match. The two men have never wrestled each other, and the match could be nothing more than a set up by Heyman for his two clients to attack and “destroy” Punk before his “The Best vs The Beast” showdown with Lesnar.

Be sure to tune into Monday Night Raw next week to see what happens when CM Punk takes on Paul Heyman. No matter what the outcome is, the results promise to be entertaining.
