10 Times WWE Went Too Far With Brock Lesnar

10. Randy Orton's Open Head Surgery

It was all just a bit artless.

From inception through to near-literal execution, the Brock Lesnar/Randy Orton SummerSlam 2016 programme was an unwelcome callback to that early-decade fascination with star-laden WrestleMania matches made more for the poster than the payoff.

Lesnar had f*ck all happening, as did Orton, and they were both big names. That was the sum total justification for what proved to be a predictably drab affair, even if 'The Apex Predator' had yet again managed to get a few pops from RKOs - or at very least the tease of some on the night.

It was all for nought in the end - the match dragged on until Lesnar opened Orton's head up with some vicious elbows and triggered a stoppage. As referees surrounded the fallen (and as it turned out, concussed - so this bullsh*t was dangerous as well as needless) the real attraction arrived.

Shane McMahon was cast as Orton's chief saviour and took an assault from Brock too. This went absolutely nowhere, much like 'The Viper's promo when he returned, uninterested in taking any sort of proper revenge on 'The Beast'.
