Overview
- Brie Bella posted that she suffered a broken scapula during SummerSlam and wrote she will be out “for a bit,” thanking fans and naming family members who will help with her recovery.
- WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque said Bella was taken to a hospital for scans immediately after the match and that the company was evaluating the injury.
- Nikki Bella has provided limited public updates, saying Brie is stable but in significant pain and that medical staff are still determining the full extent of the damage.
- Reports say the injury appeared during a ringside spot at the end of the six-woman match that also featured the Twins turning on Paige, and WWE has put those heel plans on hold while booking is adjusted.
- The injury carries career weight because the Bellas are WWE Hall of Famers and Brie had said this run could be her final one, and no timetable for her return has been announced.
