#1 Paul Heyman lied to CM Punk about representing Brock Lesnar
Paul Heyman was caught between two of WWE’s top stars in the summer of 2013. Not only did he represent the villainous Brock Lesnar, but he also worked as an advocate for the popular CM Punk.
Following Lesnar’s attack on Punk in June 2013, Heyman reassured The Best in the World that he was not going to support Lesnar against him.

“I will never represent anyone against you, and that includes Brock Lesnar. And Brock Lesnar is going to have a problem with that, and that’s between me and Brock. That’s not your problem,” Heyman said.
A month later, Paul Heyman betrayed CM Punk by hitting him with a ladder during a Money in the Bank ladder match. The storyline led to a match between Punk and Lesnar at SummerSlam, dubbed “The Best versus The Beast,” which Lesnar won.
Heyman said he turned against Punk because he thought the former WWE Champion no longer wanted to be associated with him. He also admitted he “lied, manipulated, and played” Punk to ensure he could be the one to end their partnership.
