10 Most Elaborate Works In Wrestling History

10. Brock Lesnar Brutalises Randy Orton

If he wanted, Brock Lesnar could legitimately beat the tar out of any single person on the WWE roster. With a UFC Heavyweight Title and an NCAA Division I National Championship to his name, few in the history of the business have ever been as legit as Brock.

Infamously, the main event of SummerSlam 2016 saw the Beast Incarnate bloody Randy Orton with genuine punches and elbows - so much so, Randal Keith suffered a concussion - in a chilling finish that saw Brock awarded the TKO win.

So believable was it that Lesnar had gone into business for himself here, stories emerged after the PPV that Chris Jericho was waiting in the Gorilla Position for Brock. As has been detailed several times over the subsequent years - including by Jericho in a Sports Illustrated interview last year - the Canadian thought Paul Heyman's Beast had taken liberties with Orton, and thus the inaugural AEW World Champion immediately, aggressively got in Brock's face.

In reality, it had been agreed upon ahead of time that Lesnar would be laying in real shots on Randy.

The altercation between Jericho and Brock had to be broken up on two separate occasions - once by Triple H, once by Vince McMahon - and this stands as a prime example of the office working the boys. By that, McMahon and his inner circle had kept their cards so close to their chest, they'd even convinced the rest of the locker room that this was a shoot.
