WWE Smackdown Results (6/21) – Axel Defends Against Barrett, Jericho vs Alberto, Bryan vs Orton

Renee Young joins Paul Heyman for an interview after a RAW Rebound, and she asks how he was involved in CM Punk's attack and he smiles. He says since they all want to chat about his personal life, she should lead by example and talk about her personal life on television. Heyman asks her about her relationship with her father and breaking up with her fiancee, then he says CM Punk made it clear that he isn't his client anymore. Heyman says anything that goes on between them now is personal, and he will not say anything else, unless she wants to talk about his other clients. He says she can talk to him about Curtis Axel's successful title defense tonight, but that would mean she was actually paying attention to them.
