Brock Lesnar defeated Randy Orton at Summerslam by TKO after some vicious elbows opened up a big cut on his head. This had fans wondering if this ending was planned or not because of how much blood and how bad the cut actually was. It appears like fans aren’t the only ones who thought Lesnar did some real damage to Orton in a report from F4WOnline.
According to the report, Chris Jericho was watching the match backstage and was concerned about Orton’s safety. He was asking backstage producer Michael Hayes if the finish was planned or not and didn’t receive an answer.
The report says that Jericho said something that was overheard by Lesnar and the two had words for each other when he came back from the ring. Lesnar and Jericho got face to face in a shouting match and things even got a bit physical. The two had to be broken up by Triple H but it didn’t stop there. Vince McMahon reportedly had to step in and calm both guys down before it finally ended. McMahon told Jericho that it was a work and both guys needed to be professional.
Jericho was concerned with Orton’s safety. Orton reportedly told Jericho to calm down and that the finish of the match was planned.

Props to Jericho for being willing to get into it with Lesnar. It sounds like the match finish was planned but not many people knew. It did look pretty bad if you watch the tape back. An elbow clearly causes the cut on his forehead that didn’t look like it was planned.
Also props to Orton being willing to take one of those elbows for the angle. Let us know what you think in the comment section below!
still find it hard to believe that orton insisted on elbows to the head that would cause him to bleed. he could have easily just bladed a little.
I’m sure he did blade, and the act of blading is widely misunderstood by many wrestling fans. Blading does not involve simply slicing open the skin and letting the blood flow. It involved scoring the skin (similar to how you score glass before breaking it), such that the skin is cut but not deep enough to bleed. Then, a solid hit on target will do all the rest.
You will notice Orton covering his face with his hands when the onslaught starts. He more than likely had something hidden in his glove that would cut the skin just deep enough that it could be busted open easily.
who cares!
