Brock Lesnar's WWE deal had expired following his loss at WrestleMania 36, and The Beast Incarnate hasn't signed a new contract with the promotion yet.

Back in January, WWE had filed an application in an attempt to trademark the moniker of "Brock Lesnar". However, the request was denied by the USPTO in March. The reason for the same was that WWE needed written permission from Brock Lesnar to move ahead with the application. WWE had been given six months to do so.
The filing was abandoned back in September, after the six-month duration expired. The correspondence was issued for the same on October 2, 2020.

Brock Lesnar's double deal with WWE has expired
Brock Lesnar and WWE had agreed on two deals, with one pertaining to in-ring competition, and the other for merchandise. Both these deals have expired as of now. Fans might be aware that WWE had pulled all Brock Lesnar merch from its website, back in August.
Brock Lesnar is quite possibly the hottest commodity in the business, and fans of The Beast Incarnate are hoping that he will make his WWE return somewhere down the line.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
