4: Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton
The marquee main event of SummerSlam this year was the first ever PPV match between Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton. On paper, the match was definitely worthy of the main event spot, but in reality, it didn’t deliver to the level of a SummerSlam main-event.
Lesnar’s one-dimensional style of being an unstoppable force continued in this match with Orton only getting about 1/5th of the offence in the entire match. Brock dominate most parts of the match but also took a brutal RKO on the announce table before sending Orton through the same table a few moments later.

The match ended with a referee stoppage after a series of vicious elbow blows from Lesnar busted Orton wide open leaving him in a pool of his blood. The ending left the show and the match with a weird feeling from the PPV ending so suddenly and confusingly. Overall, this match just didn’t live up to the hype.
