WWE SummerSlam 2016 rumors: Randy Orton quips he'll beat Brock Lesnar without any 'enhancement'

Everybody seems to have fallen silent about Brock Lesnar's doping violation at the UFC, but not Randy Orton, who will battle it out with The Beast Incarnate at the WWE SummerSlam 2016.

The Viper mocked his upcoming opponent during his appearance at "Highlight Reel." There, he told host Chris Jericho that he won't need any "enhancement" to beat Lesnar at SummerSlam.

"I've known Brock for 15 years so I know at SummerSlam that he's going to slam me, suplex me pillar to post, all the while with a smile on his big ugly mug," Orton said of their upcoming fight.

He also predicted that Lesnar will probably suplex him "over and over and over again" or however long it takes in Suplex City. "Well it only takes one RKO to get to Viperville. No enhancement needed," he said.

There has not been any update on the potential doping violation Lesnar committed, which was revealed after his big win over Mark Hunt at UFC 200.

For a while, it was feared that Lesnar might not be allowed to fight at SummerSlam because of this. However, it was also expected that WWE will do its own investigation first before doing anything about it.

At the moment, Lesnar and Orton's highly-anticipated face-off at WWE SummerSlam is still on. It is advertised as the main event. A promo highlighting their upcoming clash has been released.

The Beast vs. The Viper is one of the, if not the most highly-anticipated bouts at WWE SummerSlam. It will be the epic comeback for both fighters to a certain degree.

This will be the first big match since Lesnar's comeback at UFC. As for Orton, this match will be his big debut after nine months of being sidelined due to a shoulder injury.

The WWE SummerSlam 2016 will be held on Sunday, Aug. 21 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
