10 Wrestling Matches That Were NOTHING Like You Expected
4. Brock Lesnar Vs. Randy Orton - WWE SummerSlam 2016
We sort of knew at least one spot Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton were going to perform in the main event of SummerSlam '16. After suffering a barrage of German suplexes in a subdued visit to Suplex City, 2016-era RKoasting was going to do the one thing fans were remotely excited by, and reverse an F5 into an RKO for a hot near-fall that, all cynicism side, would have generated a massive pop.
But what's a massive pop, anyway, when you can spring a massive concussion instead?
Instead, after suffering a barrage of German suplexes in a subdued visit to Suplex City, Lesnar reversed an Orton punt, after kicking out of a regularKO, and then drilled him with the F5. Orton, a year ahead of the mandate - nobody could kick out of the move once to make Roman Reigns look strong for kicking out of five times, Jesus Christ, how do they not get how we entitled we know he is? - kicked out of the F5.
This enraged Lesnar. He removed his gloves before removing part of Orton's skull in a truly disgusting bloodbath that sickened anybody with half a second-hand clue about concussion awareness.
Just minging, minging stuff. Vince McMahon's reason for burying the Nexus six years prior, incidentally?
"Gotta send the fans home happy."
