Brock Lesnar and Chris Jericho Had A Heated Confrontation At SummerSlam

The ending of the Randy Orton vs. Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, which went pretty much as planned, led to a verbal and somewhat physical confrontation between “The Beast Incarnate” and Chris Jericho.

Multiple sources in WWE told F4WOnline.com’s Dave Meltzer that 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. He asked Michael Hayes what the finish was or if that was the finish. Hayes wouldn’t answer him at which point Jericho said, “That’s bullshit.”

Jericho said that just as Lesnar came back from the ring. Lesnar thought he was talking about his match, and called Jericho a pussy according to one version, or “shut up” according to another, and to mind his own business. The two got face-to-face and started exchanging words, with one version saying they were shouting at each other the whole time.

Lesnar pushed Jericho with his fingers, and Jericho did what was described as the “Rousey-Tate” forehead press. One version also had Jericho shoving Lesnar to the wall at one point.

They got tangled up against the wall and Lesnar told Jericho to punch him or kiss him. Triple H jumped in quickly and broke it up. It was heated enough that they went back at it at which point Vince McMahon broke it up. Jericho started yelling about Lesnar and McMahon told Jericho that it was all a work and to be professional.

Triple H reportedly told McMahon that Lesnar started it, and Jericho was just standing up for himself but there were more words exchanged.

Jericho saw Orton and got mad, which everyone noted was because he was concerned with Orton’s health and safety. Orton reportedly assured him that he knew the way everything was coming.
