Lesnar faced Randy Orton in the main event at SummerSlam, at which point someone tweeted a photo at Hunt showing a fan holding a “got juice” sign. The argument for the finish being unplanned, however, centers around just how much blood Orton lost during this current PG-era in WWE where blood is rarely seen. Lesnar overheard Jericho’s comments shortly after walking back from the ring and all hell broke loose…baby! According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), Chris Jericho got into a fight with Lesnar backstage.

It’s likely that Lesnar didn’t realize his own strength during the fight.
It certainly was a lot of action, and surprises were around as well as the night featured a few surprising results and questionable decisions. The latest rumors suggest that the finish was the plan all along but it looked like Lesnar went overboard in busting up Orton.
Lesnar held his arms behind his back and said “hit me or kiss me, b***h”. Lesnar did issue an open challenge to the Irishman though many took it as a light jab.
This is probably something Jericho, a veteran of pro wrestling and a future WWE Hall of Famer, was wondering as well.
However, the same article also says that it could be possible for WWE to make Goldberg do more than what is now planned.
A wild match between Lesnar and Orton was abandoned when Orton’s head was split open following a series of vicious punches elbows from Lesnar. Both competitors were leaving the WWE shortly after the match and word leaked out, causing the WWE Universe to completely turn on the match and only root for special guest referee “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. This led to Orton bleeding heavily as Lesnar kept on with his brutality. If that’s the case, then we’ll see him right around Royal Rumble time in January. But Orton didn’t suffer a concussion, and the only medical attention he needed at the end of the night was ten staples in his head to close up the brutal cut.
Ever since the boss Vince McMahon stepped in to make major power moves behind his desk by creating two flagship shows (RAW & Smackdown), WWE has risen the standards for sports entertainment one night, one athlete and one moment at a time. Still, The New Day will continue its already year-long reign with the tag titles.

So far, neither Lesnar or Jericho has been hit with any kind of punishment, and they probably won’t be.
