5 non-PG moments in WWE's PG Era

#4 Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton SummerSlam 2016

Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton crossed paths after more than a decade of staying away from each other. They clashed at SummerSlam 2016 in a blockbuster matchup, only for it to end in the most deflating way possible.

The finish saw Lesnar uncork his bare elbows on Orton’s face without stopping. This resulted in the Viper being busted open and getting knocked out. He drowned in a pool of blood flowing from his face as everyone watched on in confusion and horror.

Orton suffered a concussion and wasn’t medically cleared by WWE to wrestle his next pay-per-view match. The finish to their SummerSlam bout may have been anticlimactic, but it was most certainly not a PG moment.

#3 WWE lets Samoa Joe deliver personal insults towards Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy’s history with substances is well-documented. He went through a lot of trouble to overcome his troubles and deserves the utmost respect for succeeding.

Which is why eyebrows were raised when Samoa Joe brought up the demons of Hardy’s past at an event honoring his WWE career. As the Charismatic Enigma expressed his gratitude to the fans for believing in him through thick and thin, the Samoan Submission Machine decided to rain on his parade.

Joe started off in a congratulatory tone before dropping a brutal line that addressed Hardy’s dark past. He then proceeded to deliver one non-PG personal shot after another as the WWE Universe listened in disbelief.
