Brock Lesnar Delivers Elbow to Randy Orton at SummerSlam, Real Blood Ensues

Is Brock Lesnar still in UFC mode?

During his WWE match against Randy Orton at SummerSlam on Sunday night, The Beast opened up a nasty gash on the top of his opponent’s head.

Blood poured out onto the mat—and not fake blood. The match ended by TKO as medical personnel tended to Orton.

Here's video of the team working on Orton after the match:

It was Lesnar’s elbow that caused the apparent injury, and it didn't look scripted:

In  the heat of battle, this could've been accidental.

But Orton recently called out Lesnar for failing a drug test before his victory over Mark Hunt at UFC 200 on July 9. 

Could that be the source of something more? Some fans and media members think so.

@WWE if @BrockLesnar went off script as revenge for @RandyOrton calling him out for doping then #brocklesnar should be fired #fireLesnar
