Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar reportedly got into a scuffle backstage after Brock's match at SummerSlam last night. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Jericho wasn't told about the plans for the finish for Lesnar vs. Orton, and he thought Lesnar went off-script with his elbows. This lead to sparks flying backstage at the Barclays Center after the cameras stopped rolling.

Meltzer reports that after seeing Orton cut open by Lesnar's elbow, Jericho went to the gorilla position to find out what happened. Jericho asked WWE producer Michael Hayes if that was planned, and Hayes wouldn't respond. This lead to Jericho getting pissed off, and Brock Lesnar overhearing Jericho saying it was "bullsh*t."

Lesnar, thinking Jericho was trashing his match, told Jericho to "shut up" and mind his own business, and may have called him a "p*ssy." This lead to Jericho approaching Lesnar and having words, although one version of the story says they were shouting at each other the whole time.

This is when Lesnar reportedly pushed Jericho away from him with his fingers, which prompted Jericho to come back and press his forehead into Lesnar's. The two then grabbed onto each other and scuffled into the wall, where Lesnar told Jericho to either punch him or kiss him. It reportedly took both Triple H and Vince McMahon jumping in to break them up. Jericho then reportedly heard it straight from Vince that the Lesnar-Orton finish was a work. Orton himself then talked to Jericho and told him he knew the elbows were coming, designed to cut him open the hard way.

According to Meltzer, Triple H feels that Lesnar started the fight, and that Jericho was standing up for himself.

Brock Lesnar defeated Randy Orton by TKO at Sunday's SummerSlam in Brooklyn, NY after hitting Orton in the forehead with two stiff elbows and cutting him open. Orton received ten staples in his head to close the wound after the show.

I'd have said that the main person to blame would have been Michael Hayes. Could have stopped that easily by just responding to Jericho. Or letting him know when he could see Jericho was angry about it. Why not tell him? Only one person to blame for this really, and it's neither wrestler.

A bit more on it.

Pro Wrestling Sheet wrote

The Sheet was told Chris was repeatedly asking for clarification from everyone in the Gorilla position, but wasn’t getting answers because backstage footage was still being shot by crew members.

Brock, however, heard Jericho say this was “bullsh*t” and loudly told the longtime wrestler that this was none of his business. That set Y2J off and he continued asking questions, causing Lesnar to push him. When that happened, Jericho rushed in and tried getting face-to-face with The Beast.

We’re told Brock kissed him on the forehead at that point … then said, “kiss me back, p*ssy.”

Our sources say Jericho didn’t back down though. He actually stepped up and got in Lesnar’s face, ready to fight. But Brock responded, with his arms behind his back, saying “hit me or kiss me, bitch” … causing everyone in the area to swarm in and break them apart, including Triple H.

Things didn’t calm down though, and Vince McMahon eventually rushed in to usher Brock away, while yelling at Chris to be more professional. Jericho fired back at his boss, saying Lesnar was the unprofessional one who started “shooting” on his co-worker … to which Vince replied, “It’s a work! What’s wrong with you?!” implying the blood job was planned in some way.

Shortly after, the two sides went their separate ways backstage.

One source tells us they believe Jericho had all the right intentions, but many believe he handled things completely wrong due to his role as one of the longest tenured members of the roster.

Love that Lesnar left his arms behind his back. Let's face it, Lesnar could probably knock out anyone in WWE quite easily with his power. Best thing he could have done is to do that and show that you're not going to actually start a fight.

Think Vince is wrong for getting annoyed at Jericho. He's the one that pushes the PG thing, no blood, etc. So what is Jericho and anyone else not in the know supposed to think watching the end of that match? Don't get why other people weren't told about it to save people worrying, getting angry or upset - particularly with Lesnar. The whole thing could and should have been handled better.

You'd think someone like Jericho has earned the right to know what is going on as well. Especially since he's classed as a locker room leader.

I admire Jericho's balls not backing down to Lesnar though! But Lesnar isn't Goldberg, I hope Jericho realizes that. I wouldn't see Jericho making it out of a fight alive with Lesnar!

Jericho certainly has some balls on him. You gotta think that Lesnar admires that. Can't imagine many others in there that would try it with him.

Lesnar should have slapped the shit out of him. Jericho should keep his beak out, what the fuck has someone else's match got to do with him. Dude doesn't know what's real or not, what a mug.

This is so funny, Brock started in WWE 15 years ago and Jericho thinks he's gonna randomly start shoot elbowing another 15 year vet during a match? lololol
