CM Punk vs Ryback
Paul Heyman can truthfully claim he pinned CM Punk with both hands tied behind his back at Night of Champions, and that is a fact The Best in the World must barely be able to stomach. At WWE Battleground, a furious Punk will look to dismantle the Superstar responsible for that humiliation when he faces Ryback. In The Human Wrecking Ball’s corner will be none other than the man he has sworn to protect, Heyman.
Rather than become despondent, however, there is reason to believe Punk will grow angrier. For months, The Voice of the Voiceless has promised to obliterate anybody who steps between him and his former friend, Heyman. Yet, with a new and dangerous threat having emerged in the form of “The Big Guy,” will Punk be able to make good on his vow?
Just how far is he willing to go to remove the newest obstacle? On the flip side, what type of insight will Heyman provide to his savior, and how will his time-tested strategy complement Ryback’s brutish offense? The answers to all these questions will be known Oct. 6, when the first-ever WWE Battleground airs live on pay-per-view at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
