Following the suspension storyline on Monday Night RAW this week, former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar may be off of television for several months.
WWE SmackDown Spoilers From California
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, Lesnar's new deal with the WWE is similar to his last one as far as appearances go and it seems as though there are plans to keep him and his manager Paul Heyman off of television for the next couple of months.
It appears likely that "The Beast" and his mouthpiece won't be in a WWE ring again until it's time to build toward a feud at SummerSlam, which emanates from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Aug. 23.

The WWE wrote Lesnar off of television this past Monday on RAW when he savagely attacked Michael Cole and a camera man, leading to Stephanie McMahon suspending him indefinitely in storyline and fining him.
Lesnar's latest WWE stint saw him end The Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania XXX, decimate John Cena to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at SummerSlam last August and put on a Match of the Year contender with Cena and Seth Rollins at the Royal Rumble in January.
"The Beast" then dropped the belt this past Sunday night at WrestleMania 31 when Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and pinned Roman Reigns to win the richest prize in the game for the first time in his career.
Lesnar announced on ESPN's SportsCenter last week that he opted to re-sign on a multi-year deal with the WWE rather than returning to the UFC for the first time since 2011.
Lesnar's deal has limited dates on it and while some events were added to his schedule, it's largely similar to the last pact he had with the company where he'd disappear for months at a time and was featured as a special attraction when he was booked.
Things could change on the fly, but for now Lesnar and Heyman will likely be sidelined for a while.
