Is this the moment professional wrestling got real? Or did UFC crossover Brock Lesnar simply forget where he was?

The WWE’s latest pay-per-view event – Summer Slam – ended with Lesnar marking his return to show that is pro wrestling putting a beat down on Randy Orton.

Orton suffered a barrage of blows to the head after Lesnar sat on top of him.

The referee stopped the match once it became clear Orton was a long way from being okay. He was left bleeding heavily from the forehead.

Was it real? Was it scripted? We will never really know.

Trouble seems to follow Lesnar everywhere he goes.

He beat New Zealand-born Mark Hunt in his last UFC bout, only to test positive to performance enhancing-drugs.

That sent him back to the WWE, a forum to which he is no stranger.

As far as storylines go, this one has got the WWE some traction. That means it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
