It's quite tricky. On one hand, Brock losing all the time will eventually damage his mystique (some would say it already has been tarnished). But on the other, Punk losing here means he's not "The Best in the World." Yeah, it gives Punk something to prove, and Punk can talk his way back into credibility (remember when he called himself "The Best Wrestler in the World" after losing at like 12 straight PPVs?). I actually really like the idea of Curtis Axel getting involved and helping Lesnar win. Brock gets the win, fans can feel like Punk got screwed and a major Intercontinental Title match is set for Night of Champions -- Curtis Axel defending against CM Punk. I do have a feeling that Punk vs. Lesnar will be the match they put inside Hell in a Cell, so they'll probably have Punk interact with Axel in the meantime. Maybe Punk wins the IC Title at NOC and then drops it back to Axel when Brock Lesnar helps out at Battleground. Then it'd make sense to do "Team Heyman vs. Team Punk" at Survivor Series.
