"The Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that the reason behind Brock Lesnar's rematch with Randy Orton not taking place at the forthcoming Clash of the Champions PPV may very well be financial.
Lesnar's contract calls for different pay for live events and PPVs, so WWE decided to go ahead with the match in Chicago on September 24th as opposed to the big show in Indianapolis the following night.
The show will not be filmed for the WWE Network.
Reportedly, it was simply a case of WWE asking Lesnar to work the show, and the Beast Incarnate agreed. The newsletter is also reporting that Lesnar chose his own opponent and decided to go with The Viper as he was the best available individual for that night. The feeling is also that Orton/Lesnar II would work as a decent draw for the event, and of course this means more money for Brock.
The news that Brock is choosing his opponents is sure to cause some ripples of anger from WWE fans, but for one-off occasions such as this it surely makes sense. Whether the match is aired on the WWE Network is yet to be confirmed, but here's hoping it doesn't end with Randy Orton's blood again."
Re: Lesnar vs Orton rematch announced for Chicago houseshow
Should have done it at a major PPV like SvS. One of the very few feuds with warranted a 2 month build IMO. Orton's Viper persona and sadistic ruthlessness which could have made for a much more compelling build up was hardly showcased in the feud. The build up was pretty good in itself but it just left you wanting for more. I don't see much happening in this rematch tbh, seems to be another formality for Lesnar to further his invincibility.
I don't get it either, it's the biggest angle they've done in forever, people in australia are talking about it ffs, i can't remember the last time that happened.. not even rock cena got people talking like this,
they worked my dad with the help of media coverage in australia, he was asking me about the match last night and i showed him, and he bought it hook,line and sinker he was legit pissed at brock :brock
do you have any idea how special and how big a moment that was ?, my dad knows wwe is fake ffs his not a moron, but like everyone else he thought it was possible lesnar could lose it ... plus the cut on ortons head looked legit, if that was fake give wwe all the Oscars this year, they fooled me
what i think happened was the elbow was legit but it wasn't supposed to cause that much blood/ damage, sure it's far fetched but we all saw the match, if everything was fake then yeah... put vince on the 200 dollar bill or something, that was an epic magic trick,
Yeah, because it's 1989, the internet doesn't exist, and nobody will know Lesnar was defeated, and he will absolutely, 100% remain undefeated in the eyes of fans.
I'm an employee at Allstate arena, I'm sure they're adding Brock/Orton due to poor ticket sales. Only 6000 tickets have been sold for this show so far.

First have Lesnar murder Orton in the most boring way possible in the fucking main event of SummerSlam, then do the rematch at a house show :chan Good game WWE, good fucking game :maury
Re: Lesnar vs. Orton rematch announced for Chicago houseshow
I'm 90% sure it is a network special.There's no point in having the SummerSlam Main Event happen in a house show and there's no point in actually paying Brock to wrestle in a damn house show.
Re: Lesnar vs. Orton rematch announced for Chicago houseshow
Really?!?! you split Randy's head and give him a rematch at a live event to get squashed again? This Brock run is making me sick, even if Randy wins which we will all know wont happen will give him nothing because it's in a live event.
It won't air on the network because it's one day before Clash Of Champions.
Randy should have called out Brock on SD, no mention of Brock on Raw, this finish had no payoff you just buried one of your top stars on this era to make some buzz.
Re: Lesnar vs. Orton rematch announced for Chicago houseshow
This makes no sense whatsoever.
If you're going to do a rematch, DO SO ON A RAW-EXCLUSIVE PPV or something!!
All they're doing is wasting a very expensive Brock appearance on a fucking House Show.
I'm guessing that they obviously intended this mini-fued with Randy/Brock to end at SummerSlam but because of what happened, it didn't end...completely. So this is their hare-brained scheme to do just that. A fucking house show. fpalm
Re: Lesnar vs. Orton rematch announced for Chicago houseshow
A house show for Orton to take on that lazy shit and you know anybody wants to see Orton pin that fucker.
