Brie Bella has provided clarity on the injury that sent her to the hospital following SummerSlam, confirming that she will be out of action for an extended period. The update came directly from her Instagram account, where she shared both the diagnosis and her reaction to the unexpected setback.
The injury occurred during SummerSlam Night 1 in a match that saw Jacy Jayne collide with Brie near the steel steps while executing a cannonball. Brie immediately clutched her right shoulder and played a noticeably reduced role for the remainder of the bout. What initially appeared to be a painful moment turned out to be far more serious once she was evaluated by medical staff.
Brie Bella Details Her Injury and Recovery Plans
Brie explained that the impact resulted in a broken scapula, a painful injury that typically requires significant recovery time. She expressed gratitude to those who reached out while she was hospitalized and reflected on how she managed to finish the match despite the damage.
“Unfortunately, I’ll be out for a bit. I broke my scapula. Not sure how I finished that match, but I do believe between the adrenaline, passion for the business and the love for all the women I work with, it gave me the drive to finish.”
The severity of the injury forced her to withdraw from a scheduled SummerSlam TakeOver appearance in Minneapolis. Fans who purchased photo opportunities were informed that she would not be able to attend due to the medical situation. The change underscored how quickly plans can shift when injuries occur during high‑impact matches.
Despite the setback, Brie made it clear she is already thinking ahead. She shared a lighthearted look at her recovery process, mentioning that Buddy would act as her assistant, Birdie would take on nursing duties, and Bryan Danielson would handle the cooking while she heals.
“If there’s one thing I know about my sister and I, it’s that we don’t let broken bones stop us. Brie Mode always finds a way to come back to her wrestling home. Let the recovery begin.”
Brie Bella is officially on the shelf, but her message suggests she views this as a temporary pause rather than a turning point. The timeline for her return will depend on how quickly the scapula heals, and WWE will need to determine how to move forward with the Bella Twins’ developing issue with Paige while Brie recovers.
