Randy orton vs brock lesnar 2016 summerslam

WWE SummerSlam 's main event ended in chaos when Brock Lesnar forced a stoppage in his match with Randy Orton thanks to a vicious assault, and it asks serious questions about where both men are headed next. Neither man being pinned should mean both come out of the pay-per-view looking relatively strong. But Orton was made to look weak at the hands of Lesnar, who himself looks in a real state of flux about what he does next. With SummerSlam still fresh in the memory, here's what could be in store for both guys as we head out of the biggest show of the summer. SummerSlam last year saw him lose to The Undertaker to square up their miniseries before he returned later in the year for the decider.

Lesnar bloodied Orton and eventually the match had to be called. It's unclear how much of the match was scripted, and how much was Lesnar going off on his own. The Ringer's Bill Simmons found the action bizarre:. Lesnar just went UFC on Orton and broke his head open with multiple elbows and kept hitting him and they stopped it and it was super weird. ESPN's Arash Markazi noted how the fans reacted to the ending, as well as speculating about the bloody ending:. Fans are booing as the lights come on at the Barclays Center. Two non-finishes to close out a show isn't a good look.

For his part, Orton suffered a concussion and needed multiple stitches to close the laceration on top of his head for a photo of the wound, click here. He was out of commission for the next few weeks, although he did eventually get some measure of revenge in an untelevised rematch against Lesnar, when Orton hit an RKO on a chair on the Beast Incarnate. And earlier this week, the Viper finally spoke out on his match with Lesnar, saying that while he knew what he was getting himself into, he was still pissed off by the result.
