WWE rumors, news 2016: Randy Orton tipped to lose WWE SummerSlam fight against Brock Lesnar

The highly anticipated clash of Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton at WWE SummerSlam 2016 is expected to end with The Beast Incarnate pinning his opponent.

Bettors over at Oddschecker still think that Lesnar will win it all after the pay-per-view event and his doping violation following his UFC match against Mark Hunt is considered here.

Lesnar is not expected to receive a penalty from WWE for the failed drug test as he is only a part-time performer for the company. He is not expected to lose a match either.

That being said, his highly anticipated main event match with Orton at WWE SummerSlam will push through and he is presumed to win it all as well.

WWE has been building up Lesnar as a beast that no superstar would be able to stop. His UFC victory could have further cemented that, but the issue with the failed drug tests somehow did the opposite.

Fans will remember that Orton recently called his opponent out for the violation, saying that he would not need "enhancement" to take The Beast to Viperville.

It is interesting that WWE has been silent about the violation while Lesnar's current enemy is throwing shade at him in the ring for it. Whether or not WWE has plans for this matter in the future remains to be seen.

WWE is not one to address violations on the show. This changed when Seth Rollins spoke in the ring about Roman Reigns, who was suspended for 30 days for his failure to comply with the Wellness Policy.

It is unknown as to how Lesnar's violation will be involved in WWE, but for now, it is believed he will continue his domination there.

Bleacher Report says that so far, WWE has not done much in adding depth to the feud and that the company is only riding on the clash being a dream match between two legendary superstars.

WWE has started taking steps in doing so. Orton recently invaded Raw to give Lesnar an RKO out of nowhere while Lesnar retaliated by showing up on SmackDown to give his opponent a mean F5.

However, this has not added meaning to the SummerSlam main event. Bleacher Report thinks that WWE should position the fight as a way for the two to settle who is better.

One angle that would work is having Orton thirsty to redeem himself after watching Lesnar rise while he was sidelined by his shoulder injury.

It could be that The Viper challenged Lesnar to a fight to console himself by beating the beast of the beasts in WWE.
