WWE's main event at Summerslam ended when UFC superstar and former WWE champ Brock Lesnar dismantled Randy Orton and ended his night with absolutely brutal elbows to the head, cutting him open the hard way. Orton needed 10 staples to close the wound, per WWE.com.

Orton and Lesnar were very open about their dislike for each other leading up to the match, with comments bordering on "shoot" promos.

While the finish was clearly for Orton to be "knocked out," those knocks on "The Viper" sure didn't look staged.
You can't pay me enough to get in the ring with Lesnar.
