What Randy Orton Was Told About the Brock Lesnar Match:

Sunday’s SummerSlam ended with Brock Lesnar brutalizing Randy Orton in an all-out assault which resulted in Orton’s forehead being busted open before a TKO victory for the Beast.

Reportedly, Orton was told that Lesnar knew how to cut him open without hurting him and Orton had agreed to it. But during the match Lesnar apparently subjected Orton to stiff jabs to the head and he later required 10 staples from the WWE medical crew to close the wound.

Orton sold this by staying down as he was kayfabe knocked out and the panic among the WWE crew was very real since Orton was actually badly injured.
