Overview
- Fatal Influence defeated the Bella Twins and Paige at SummerSlam on Aug. 1 when Jacy Jayne pinned Paige, and the Bella Twins then betrayed Paige in a surprise heel turn.
- Brie Bella showed signs of a right‑shoulder injury during the match, received backstage treatment, and was taken to a local hospital for scans, WWE chief content officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque said.
- On Aug. 3 Brie posted that she broke her scapula and will be out “for a bit,” sharing images from treatment and thanking fans for support.
- Nikki Bella has framed the post‑match attack as an in‑character move to clear her path to more title runs and has said Brie is in pain while withholding further medical details.
- WWE has said it will pivot booking as needed, so expect immediate storyline changes on weekly television with Nikki carrying angles and a likely singles program between Nikki and Paige while Brie recovers.
