– Randy Orton was pulled from last weekend’s WWE live events, partly to sell the Summerslam beating from Brock Lesnar and also due to the staples he received.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, people in the wrestling business cannot believe that WWE gave the green light to the angle with Lesnar at Summerslam, and believe that Orton now has a job for life with WWE. The reason for that is that if Orton ever develops brain issues, his family could sue WWE, using the footage and the fact that WWE ordered Orton to lay there and get busted open by Lesnar.

The WON notes that wrestlers from past eras did not have a smoking gun with their cases because they did not know what we do now in regards to concussions. The wrestlers, and WWE (they have donated to the Concussion Legacy Foundation) both know more than ever in regards to concussions and post concussion issues, and still ordered the angle.
