Last week’s Raw left the WWE Universe with more questions than answers: Why did Brock Lesnar attack CM Punk? Will Daniel Bryan ever get that defining win to convince himself that he isn’t the weak link of Team Hell No? Is Team Hell No now Team HellNo More? And will Mae Young ever get her shout-out from Mark Henry in a retirement speech? The WWE Universe can only speculate on most of these matters, but perhaps this week’s Raw will provide illumination on five fronts.
With Curtis Axel winning the Intercontinental Championship and CM Punk making a victorious return at WWE Payback, things seemed to be going Paul Heyman’s way. Brock Lesnar’s return on Raw should have
cemented the mad scientist as the man to beat in WWE, but The Anomaly’s unprovoked attack on Punk has instead thrown the status of his stable into question. Though Lesnar’s motives are a matter of guesswork at this point, it’s no stretch to point out that Punk has been trying to distance himself from Heyman in the week since his return. What does the future hold for this painfully strained friendship?
