Brock Lesnar has been fined $500 (£380) after "assaulting" fellow wrestler Randy Orton at WWE's Summer Slam in New York on Sunday night.
Brock Lesnar won the match by technical knockout after repeatedly hitting Randy Orton with his elbows.
But Randy, or the Viper as he's known in the ring, was left needing 10 stitches in his head after the fight.
Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon confirmed on Monday night that he would face repercussions.
The wrestler was challenged after the match by veteran fighter Chris Jericho, who was checking on the state of his fighter.
He had an argument with Brock Lesnar backstage and apparently had to be pulled apart by other wrestlers and officials.
He also assaulted SmackDown Live Commissioner Shane McMahon in the ring after the bout using his trademark F5 move, which is where he picks you up, spins you round like a helicopter's blades and then throws you on the ground.
That tussle sets up a potential fight between the two later this year.
Shane McMahon used to be a wrestler before becoming SmackDown Live Commissioner and Brock Lesnar is one of Raw's top stars.
WWE split its rosters in two earlier this year into Raw and SmackDown, with different wrestlers fighting in each competition.
Meanwhile, Brock Lesnar has received a temporary ban from the Nevada State Athletic Commission after two failed drug tests earlier this year.
Samples taken on 28 June and 9 July tested positive for hydroxy-clomiphene, which is an anti-estrogen blocker.
The testing took place before his UFC 200 bout against Mark Hunt, which he won.
The victory in his first MMA fight in four years won him a record UFC purse of $2.5m (£1.9m).
Another hearing will determine whether that result will stand and what else will happen to Brock Lesnar, which could include a fine and fixed suspension, if he's found guilty.
WWE stars Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Paige and Eva Marie have all been suspended for 30 days recently under the organisation's Wellness Policy.
