The Wrestling Observer is reporting that there was a shoot confrontation at last night’s (Sun., Aug. 21, 2016) WWE SummerSlam event at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York but it didn’t occur during the Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Orton match as many believed and has been rumored. No, it occurred backstage after said match.

Apparently, and this is according to the Observer’s sources, there was a physical confrontation between Lesnar and Chris Jericho. This started because the latter of which came to the Gorilla position to check up on Orton after he was busted open (see the gnarly photo here) and Lesnar took issue with it.

There may have been name calling and the two tussled before it was broken up by Triple H and Vince McMahon. It was noted that Orton assured Jericho everything was planned and he was fine.

As mentioned earlier here, Lesnar is not currently scheduled to appear on tonight’s episode of Monday Night Raw at the same venue. No word on if any disciplinary action will be handed down for this, although the Observer notes Vince reportedly told Jericho, who was yelling about Lesnar, that it was all a work and to be professional.


Stay tuned for any more details

Oh man

RIP Y2J

New Details:

Now, Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting some additional details on how exactly the confrontation went down, and, yes, it involves kissing. The sequence of events, according to Ryan Satin’s sources:

- Jericho demanded answers on the Lesnar vs. Orton match, thinking it was a shoot
- Lesnar told him to mind his own business
- Jericho got really upset about this and continued demanding answers
- Lesnar pushed him
- Jericho rushed Lesnar
- Lesnar kissed Jericho on the forehead before saying “kiss me back, pussy”
- Jericho got in his face again
- Lesnar held his arms behind his back and said “hit me or kiss me, bitch”
- The confrontation was then broken up
- It was still heated enough that Vince McMahon got involved and told Jericho, who was still thinking he saw a shoot, that it was a work

Wrestling, man

Jericho better watch out. Lesnar is on the juice

the fuck

Don't know about you but I think Brock Lesnar gave Randy Orton a pretty purposeful downward elbow to the head here. pic.twitter.com/ccgV3mVvPZ

He's gone mad

If that was a worked angle, damn that was damn well done.
I'd be pissed off if I was Jericho and wasn't told about the "work" beforehand. This is something they should've told everyone to avoid these things.

Well, I think this is the most confusing boner I've ever had.

While appearing on You’re Welcome with Chael Sonnen, Chris Jericho confirmed a backstage incident between himself and Brock Lesnar after the WWE Summerslam main event.

Originally reported by F4WOnline.com and additional details later confirmed by Pro Wrestling Sheet, the incident was described as heated, and said to have started after Jericho went to check on Randy Orton, who had been badly busted open at the conclusion of the PPV.

Jericho told Sonnen that he didn’t know if Orton was OK, because the match finish was so violent and whether it was a work or shoot, it’s still a real pool of blood that he saw. Jericho says he exchanged words with Lesnar and they were then in each other’s faces yelling at each other, but it blew over rather quickly. He also said that while the match was none of his business, he was concerned for his friend, and it didn’t matter if Brock is a trained fighter because he isn’t the type of person to back down.
