WWE superstar Randy Orton made his return to the squared circle at the “Battleground” event last weekend (recap) and previewed his upcoming showdown against Brock Lesnar, which takes place at next month’s “SummerSlam” card in Brooklyn, New York.

It didn’t look like they were going to, as they started by going back-and-forth trading barbs about maybe dishing out RKO’s and Codebreakers and some comedy.
The Viper was a guest on Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel and Y2J was essentially warning Orton about what he was going to be up against at SummerSlam, saying that Brock Lesnar was going to take him to Suplex City.
“Something tells me you’re going to pay for that”, Jericho responded.
Orton then hit Jericho with an RKO for good measure. It marks the second test that Lesnar failed, with the first one being an out-of-competition test that was done on June 28, a week before fight night. While Orton has been recuperating, Lesnar took one of his usual sabbaticals after WrestleMania 32, and has since been part of UFC 200.

Ironically, Orton has violated the WWE’s Wellness Policy twice over the course of his career.
