5 Real life backstage fights in WWE

#1 Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar

This finish led to Jericho confronting Lesnar

Brock Lesnar faced Randy Orton at WWE SummerSlam 2016. The finish to the match was a little controversial with Lesnar legitimately busted Orton open with elbow strikes. He followed this up with an F5 to then WWE SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon.

It was made to look like WWE's Beast Incarnate may have gone off script and it worked really well. So well in fact, that even Chris Jericho was a little concerned backstage regarding what happened. Jericho walked up to Lesnar backstage and ended up getting into a scuffle with him. Here’s how Jericho described it:

Well, you know, anytime something like that happens there’s always a lot of rumors and a lot of stories being told. Not to get into specifics ... it was basically between me and Brock, but we did have a little bit of a brouhaha, shall we say.

I just thought the finish of that match was very brutal and very violent, and I just didn’t know if Randy was OK. I was checking on Randy, my friend. We’ve always been pretty close. I said something and (Lesnar) said something and next thing you know we’re nose to nose kind of yelling at each other. And (it) diffused fairly quickly.
