Backstage News on Brock Lesnar vs. Randy Orton Happening at Upcoming WWE Live Event

We reported earlier this week that Brock Lesnar is set to take on Summerslam opponent Randy Orton in a rematch on the 9/24 house show in Chicago.

WWE reportedly opted to book Lesnar on the live event instead of the September 25th Clash of Champions pay-per-view from Indianapolis because his contract calls for different pay for live events than for pay-per-views.

WWE simply asked Lesnar to work the Chicago event and he agreed. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter adds that Lesnar chose his opponent based on who he felt was the best Superstar on the roster available that night, that he felt would mean the most at the box office.
