Flashback: WWE Champion Brock Lesnar Faces Young Randy Orton in 2002 WWE Smackdown Match (Video)

Following his dominating victory over top-ten heavyweight fighter Mark Hunt at this weekend’s UFC 200 pay-per-view, the “Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar will return to the WWE ring to face off against the “Viper” Randy Orton at this year’s WWE SummerSlam. 

Ahead of that bout, check out a young Lesnar and Orton going at it during an episode of WWE Smackdown way back in 2002. WWE Champion at the time, the self-proclaimed conqueror easily dispatches the up-and-coming star who would go on to become a 12-time WWE world champion. A full 14 years later (yes, it really has been that long) they are now two of the biggest names in the history of the pro wrestling industry. 

The question now is, who will emerge victorious when Lesnar and Orton collide, now veterans of the business? You can discuss the upcoming WWE SummerSlam match in the comments section below!
