When the match was announced, Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Orton looked like little more than an excuse to keep 'The Beast' ticking over as the Summer months come to an end. Given time to add some build, WWE have shed some doubt over a previously-nailed on Lesnar win.

Randy Orton is a big star in his own right, but it'd still be shocking to see him pin Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. The RKO has been a terrific plot device for both men when hyping the pay-per-view clash, and if it ended the match then people across the wrestling world would be left stunned.

Common sense dictates that WWE capitalise on Lesnar's impressive MMA win at UFC 200, they have a genuine combat superstar on their books. Some within the company may be viewing things another way, seeking to give Orton back some of his main event magic by booking him to beat such a fearsome beast.

If Orton did beat Lesnar, he'd become the biggest story in WWE overnight. There would also be the need for a rematch.
