Chris Jericho Talks Lesnar Altercation at SummerSlam – “I Didn’t Know if Randy Was Okay”

– Chris Jericho spoke about his SummerSlam altercation with Brock Lesnar on Chael Sonnen’s latest podcast. You can check out a clip of Jericho discussing the incident, when he got in a physical confrontation with Lesnar after the finish of the Randy Orton vs. Lesnar main event that left Orton bloodied in the ring.

Jericho responded to a question from Sonnen about the incident, saying, “I just thought the finish of that match was very brutal and very violent, and I just didn’t know if Randy was okay…I said something and he said something, next thing you know we’re nose-to-nose kinda yelling at each other and it diffused fairly quickly…Brock is a trained fighter and he’s a beast, but I’m not the type of person to back down from anybody, to my detriment.”

Reports from the altercation at the time said that Jericho had been asking what was going on, and when Lesnar came through the curtain he misinterpreted a comment by Jericho and called him a “p**sy.” Jericho them stepped up to Lesnar and after some back-and-forth, things got physical.

Jericho added that the finish of the match wasn’t his business, but that “when I see a friend of mine lying in a pool of his own blood, whether it’s a work or not, that’s real blood. That’s a real concussion that he suffered. So I wanna go check and see if he’s okay.”
