In our original WWE Smackdown report for this week's show on October 18th, we noted that CM Punk made a rare appearance to face Big E Langston. Fans have sent in word that after the match, Paul Heyman came out to the ramp with Ryback and Curtis Axel to cut a promo about next week's Hell in a Cell match. Paul sent his Heyman Guys to attack CM Punk, but Big E Langston jumps back into the ring and comes to the aid of Punk, taking out both Ryback and Axel. The crowd was said to love this moment, and heavily cheered Big E when he made the save.

Reports have been circulating since September that Langston was in line for a major babyface turn.

Dark match on the show?

Big E

Big E vs Ryback feud?

More likely E vs. Axel, with Punk and Ryback continuing to feud.

I saw it today. I loved it. Definitely a cool moment.

I hope this face turn leads to big things for Big E.
