Brock Lesnar was irate after getting scr**ed by Universal Champion Roman Reigns and The Usos at Crown Jewel 2021. Afterward, he sent a message to the champion to beat him up and he stayed true to his promise. But his frustrations proved to be too much as WWE had no choice but to suspend him for an indefinite time span, from a storyline perspective.
The post-Crown Jewel edition of SmackDown on FOX from the INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas opened with WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns coming to the ring with Paul Heyman. Reigns bragged about his Crown Jewel win over Brock Lesnar and invited him to come out so that he can beat him up.
The Beast Incarnate arrived, right away and brawled at ringside. Lesnar sent Reigns into the steel ring steps and tried to smash Reigns in the face with half of the steps. He then took apart the announce table and went to put Reigns through the table with an F5 but SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos made the save.

Brock Lesnar took them out showing insane brutality. In the meantime, he also put his hands on a couple of camera crew and a referee. The locker room came out as per instructions from WWE official Adam Pearce but he tossed them away and posed with the Universal Championship.
Brock Lesnar is likely to be out of action
Pearce then came to the ring and stated that Brock Lesnar’s actions were unacceptable as he endangered everyone in the WWE Universe. Pearce said he cannot allow that to happen on his watch and hence the five-time world champion would be suspended indefinitely due to his actions.
The Beast returned to the ring after the announcement and ended up laying Pearce out with a couple of F5s. Lesnar taunted Pearce with the mic some more, before making his exit. Afterward, WWE’s official website also declared a statement to confirm the suspension.
As noted earlier, this is a kayfabe suspension that helps WWE to keep Brock Lesnar out of action for some time. He is rumored to come back perhaps for the Royal Rumble or WrestleMania 38 season, to continue the feud with Roman Reigns while nothing is confirmed. It appears that a rematch between the two is already slated to happen, at some point.
