Brie Bella Describes Blackout and Ambulance Ride After Gluten Mix-Up

Her first-person podcast account reveals a sudden severe reaction that required IV fluids and hospital evaluation and updates her recovery after a SummerSlam scapula injury.

Overview

  • At WWE SummerSlam 2026 Brie Bella suffered a broken scapula that has not required surgery and currently carries no confirmed timetable for her return to activity.
  • In a Nikki & Brie Show episode published Thursday, Aug. 20, 2026, Bella said a restaurant misunderstanding led staff to serve gluten-friendly food after she requested gluten-free, triggering a rapid and intense gastrointestinal reaction.
  • Bella recounted that she began to pass out on the toilet, was unresponsive while her children screamed, and that Bryan Danielson called 911 as EMTs arrived to help her.
  • She was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where medical staff gave two IV bags and medication, reassured her the episode was medically explainable, and helped her stabilize before she went home to recover; the family later treated the incident with humor.
  • The account highlights the real danger of gluten exposure for sensitive individuals and the difference between 'gluten-free' and 'gluten-friendly' service, and it signals that Bella faces weeks of nonoperative recovery for her shoulder while monitoring her short-term health after the emergency.
