According to F4WOnline.com’s Dave Meltzer, Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar got into a verbal and ‘somewhat’ physical altercation following Lesnar’s WWE Summerslam match against Randy Orton.
Jericho reportedly went to the gorilla position following the match ending, which saw Lesnar bust Orton’s head open after elbow shots, to check on Orton, and Jericho asked if the finish was planned. Michael Hayes reportedly wouldn’t answer, and Jericho said ‘that’s bullshit’, then Lesnar came through the curtain and apparently thought Jericho was talking about the match. One account says Lesnar called Jericho a pussy, and another had Lesnar telling him to shut up, and he should mind his business. Following this, the two got in each other’s faces and were screaming at each other the whole time, then Lesnar pushed Jericho with his fingers.
Jericho then reportedly got right into Lesnar’s face and did a ‘Rousey-Tate’ forehead press, and one account says Jericho shoved Lesnar into the wall at one point. The two reportedly got tangled up near the wall and Lesnar told Jericho to punch him or kiss him, then Triple H jumped in to break it up. The incident was said to be bad enough that the two went face-to-face again but Vince McMahon stepped in to break it up a second time, and told Jericho to be a professional and the match was all a work.
Triple H reportedly told McMahon Lesnar was the one to start it, and Jericho was just defending himself, but more words were exchanged. Following the whole incident, Jericho reportedly saw Orton and got mad, because he was originally concerned for Orton’s health, but Orton was said to reassure him that the whole match conclusion went as planned.
