What a disappointing way to end such a major event. 

The idea to have Lesnar just obliterate Orton is smart. The execution failed, however. You don't hype a match as much as WWE did and sell it as the headliner of a marquee pay-per-view only to have it end so quickly.

Kevin Owens winning by TKO against Sami Zayn at NXT TakeOver: Rival was theater, a peek at a monster devouring his dinner. Lesnar's win over Orton was far more gimmicky and anti-climactic. 

If WWE had another plan that went awry due to Orton bleeding too much, that's a whole different story. One can't blame the company for that.

If this was the intended finish to the night, though, WWE stumbled badly.
