Heyman has managed a long list of top superstars in the past, with Punk being one of them. Back in 2011-13, Punk held the WWE Championship for a whopping 434 days. During this reign, he aligned with Paul Heyman and became WWE's top heel in the process.
Heyman later betrayed Punk during his feud with Brock Lesnar on the road to SummerSlam 2013. At the mega event, Heyman helped Lesnar beat Punk in a 25-minute classic. Lesnar then took a hiatus while Punk kept feuding with Heyman on WWE TV.
