Brock was last seen on the 3 April episode of Raw, when he engaged in an in-ring confrontation with Braun Strowman. Strowman and Lesnar were expected to fight for the Universal Title at Great Balls Of Fire, but an elbow injury will keep 'The Monster Among Men' sidelined for up to eight weeks, and there's no word on who'll replace him yet.

Lesnar isn't scheduled to appear at 4 June's Extreme Rules pay-per-view, and will have been absent for over two months by the time he returns on 12 June. No further dates have been announced at this time, which hints at another hiatus before SummerSlam on 20 August.
