10 Most Shocking Appearances Of Blood In The PG Era

10. Randy Orton (SummerSlam 2016)

Considering his style is almost safe to a fault, Randy Orton has absorbed more than his fair share of bumps and bruises during his 15 year stint on the WWE main roster.

Away from the surgeon's scalpel, 'The Apex Predator' has been opened up in the heat of the action accidentally (more on that later), but an intentional bloodletting at SummerSlam 2016 exhibited his bravery in the quest for a creative conclusion to his remarkably heatless battle with Brock Lesnar.

In truth, the two were feuding over nothing in particular. A case of having two big names at their disposal and little else, the Orton/Lesnar show closer was little more than vapid and underdeveloped clash of titans, but Randy was predictably overmatched for the bulk of the contest.

What few saw coming was the manner in which he was eventually defeated. Rather than the Lesnar's traditional methods, he mounted his struggling foe and delivered a host of violent elbow and fist strikes. An early shot busted Randy wide open, with his congealed claret quickly congregating in a pool on the canvas.

An immediate stoppage was called as both the show and Randy faded to black, but not before Shane McMahon came out to square up to the monstrously violent beast, stealing all the focused from the bloodied 'Viper'.
