In 2014, Brock Lesnar shocked the wrestling world by destroying John Cena at SummerSlam. Last year, Lesnar had an awesome match with The Undertaker, and in 2016 he was back to his dominant ways against Randy Orton. 'The Viper' was handed some offensive strikes, such as an RKO on the announce desk that rocked 'The Beast'.

Mainly, just as he had been opposite Cena in 2014, Brock was in charge of the main event. Come the end of the match, it became clear who the most vicious performer on the main roster in WWE is, not even Paul Heyman could stop his man from brutally battering Orton until he was unconscious.

There was more of a hushed silence over the crowd than outright annoyance at the fact the referee chose to stop the headline match. Blood poured from Randy Orton's head, following a number of stiff elbows, punches and forearms from Lesnar to his latest challenge. Drama was high as everyone realised Brock had been announced as the winner of the match by stoppage.

Once again, Brock Lesnar looked like an absolute killer, but he wasn't quite done.
