But for anyone questioning whether Orton got busted open for real by taking a hardway, this picture of Orton’s head posted to Facebook by Monday Night Raw general manager Mick Foley should be all you need to see. Enzo Amore & Big Cass will face off against Kevin Owens & Chris Jericho. According to multiple accounts, Jericho was frantic backstage, questioning what Lesnar did in his main event match against Randy Orton. Jericho has been around the business for a long time to know better and the last thing Vince wants to do is to turn the clock back on his dressing room.

According to multiple sources, Jericho came to the gorilla position just as the match ended, apparently to see if Orton was okay and to find out what exactly happened. Meltzer reports that the two got into a shoving match, and that Lesnar challenged Jericho to either punch him or kiss him. Triple H had to intervene, but Lesnar and Jericho were tough to restrain. They got into it again and Vince McMahon broke it up, yelling, “It was a work!”
Orton, also, according to Meltzer, tried to assure Jericho that everything was OK. The Attitude Era is more than 15 years ago, (god we feel old), John Cena is pushing forty (Oh God make it stop): wrestling is bringing in some much needed new blood.
Hunt was among those who chimed in, calling for Lesnar to be banned from WWE for what he seemingly believed was a deliberate act within an otherwise scripted realm. While Banks was still able to put up a valiant effort and leave it all on the line, Charlotte just continued to focus on her back in order to secure a win. The Wrestling Observer first reported that Y2J became fired up under the assumption that Lesnar took things too far and could have seriously injured his opponent, as he’s been accused in his past. Could tensions be higher than we think?
