Honestly, what is a satisfactory ending for Punk/Heyman?

[Heartbreaker]

It's definitely gonna end with something involving gay love making, right?

[chazraps]

Free pizza for everybody. Has anybody said free pizza for everybody yet?

[Straight Edge Scrotum]

Somehow, the WWE makes them both job to the Rock.

Via satellite.

[Ryback on a Pole!]

They settle their differences like gentlemen rather than fighting by having a game of soggy biscuit. Which Ryback deliberately loses (or wins, depending on if you consider the guy eating the biscuit to be the winner).

Hopefully it ends after Sunday.

Big Show runs in and knocks everybody out, and the PPV ends there for some reason, seemingly having forgotten about the WWE title match.

Cornette appears and kills Heyman with his tennis racket

Heyman admits he was wrong and jealous of Punk's success.

Then, Heyman turns face and becomes Punk's manager again inexplicably, as they now join the fight against The Authority.

I hope so. The Hell in a Cell match should be the big blow-off match in a feud - unfortunately, with this PPV concept and the no-blood thing, the gimmick has been majorly watered down. Also, with the screwy finish last year, WWE has shown that it's not a definitive ending as they can find ways to screw the fans with a dicey finish (Punk/Ryback/Maddox debacle).

It also feels like the whole angle peaked a month in with Punk/Lesnar and has been running on fumes since, especially when you're putting Punk up against a guy like Axle who isn't even anywhere near his level.

That reminds me of something that that I've really been wanting to see WWE do, to make Extreme Rules (and maybe also Hell in a Cell) the one night a year they go PG-14 and have blood and the like. I get all of the myriad of reasons they don't do it on a regular basis and I am perfectly okay with that, but it seems like it would be a great selling point for the show and would make all of the, "So extreme! Everything's extreme!" stuff ring more true. Though given this year there were matches that almost ended in count out they seem to have abandoned that idea anyway.

Totally unrelated, but I've been looking for a reason to mention the idea.

Based on 80s movie logic, which is what this feud runs on, I think Punk needs to train a ragtag bunch of misfits to beat Heyman's team at Survivor Series.

Here I thought it was based on Porn movie logic. I kept expecting a pizza boy to show up at Heyman's locker room.

"You can imagine what happens next."

"He fixes the cable?"

[The Beast Disincarnate]

An ending would be satisfiying.

I hope it ends in the way Vince McMahon dreamed that Bryan/Cena ended at Summerslam.

They both explode and are never heard from or seen again.

[Bearer is God]

They form the new nation.

[Hit Girl]

Heyman rips off his face to reveal that underneath, he's actually Serena!

[Juice]

Strange hw far this thing has come simply because Brock Lesnar isn't around, but for a few more times in the year. This started as PunkvBrock and we have two more Paul Heyman guys who aren't real life Heyman guys, and ryback vs Punk in another Cell match.

[Wolfman Rose]

Punk beats the ever loving piss out of Heyman.

I like that idea. The only problem with it is that with these "gimmick" shows, they don't seem to build to it properly. It always seems like they're forced to put guys in matches that fit the mold of the show rather than booking gimmicks to fit the feuds.

There was no reason for Punk/Ryback to be in a cell last year other than the fact that the show was slotted as having a cell match.

If you take your idea and apply it to long running feuds then I'm all for it! Like you said, maybe Extreme Rules as it usually seems like "revenge" style matches for outcomes at WrestleMania.
