We reported yesterday the rumors of Brock Lesnar facing Randy Orton at this years Summerslam. The announcement was suppose to be made during Smackdown but the WWE kept it off the live tapings in order to reveal it when the show airs on TV. Lesnar vs Orton was still only a rumor but it looks like we got a bit more confirmation.

During the Canadian broadcast of Smackdown (Wednesday night), there was no mention of the Lesnar opponent. What did happen though is on the Smackdown Aftershow (Called Aftermath) with former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas, they announced that the match was on.
Here was a tweet of someone catching it:

It is a bit confusing as to why the WWE didn’t announce it on their Canadian broadcast. Maybe they want the full reveal to happen tomorrow night and edited it out of the show.
I guess there is a slight chance that Jimmy Korderas and the rest of the Aftermath crew are jumping the gun a bit here but I think it is legit!
Let us know what you think of Brock vs Randy at Summerslam!
Update**** One of the hosts of Aftermath: Chris Morrison tweeted me, confirming the news:
@InnerN3rd I can confirm this did happen
