5 Brutal Brock Lesnar moments in WWE

#3 Busting Randy Orton open at SummerSlam 2016

Brock Lesnar attacks Randy Orton

Brock Lesnar faced Randy Orton in the main event of WWE SummerSlam 2016. Lesnar threw everything he could at Orton but couldn’t put The Viper away.

In the end, a frustrated Brock Lesnar started throwing brutal right hands at Orton, busting him open in the process. Medics came out to check on Orton but Lesnar attacked Orton once again and continued to throw right hands leading to the referee ending the match, declaring Lesnar the winner by technical knockout.

SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon came down to the ring to try and get some modicum of control on the situation. However, Lesnar hit Shane McMahon with a vicious F5 for his troubles.

The beatdown looked so real that Chris Jericho, who was backstage, thought that Lesnar may have actually gone off script and attacked Orton, confronted him backstage. This led to an altercation between the two and they reportedly had to be pulled apart.

Randy Orton described what led to in a later interview:

Basically, what happened is Jericho saw what was going on in the ring and wanted answers as to whether my best interests were in mind as far as my health and safety.
