Brie Bella Provides Update on Her Broken Scapula Injury at WWE SummerSlam 2026

As noted before, WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella suffered a shoulder injury during her Six-Woman Tag Team match with Nikki Bella & Paige against Fatal Influence at this past Saturday’s WWE SummerSlam Night 1 event in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This injury was later revealed to be a broken scapula injury.

The Bella Twins posted a new video on their official YouTube channel providing an update on Brie’s shoulder injury. In the video, Brie stated that she is currently hoping to avoid surgery for her injury.

“The recovery starts today. The doctors are waiting. We don’t know if I’m going to have surgery or not, so I should find out tomorrow.”

Brie also gave her thoughts about how she was told to stay down after suffering her injury and officials considered stopping the match but she wanted to continue so that Nikki could make her comeback in the match.

“When you broke your ankle, you continued the match, and then I broke my shoulder. It’s so funny because you and I, I don’t know if it’s because we’re people pleasers, but the whole time in my head, I’m like, ‘No, I’ve got to stay in so Nikki can get the hot tag.’ They were telling me, ‘Stay down,’ or they were thinking about calling the match. And I’m like, ‘No, no, no.’ Even though I was in crazy pain, all I could think about was, ‘Nikki’s got to hit that comeback.’”

Nikki responded stating that Brie had suffered “multiple breaks” in her shoulder.

“It’s crazy because we both finished matches with really bad breaks, and with multiple breaks. And wild that you did that with multiple breaks in your shoulder.”

Brie also gave her thoughts about how were several spots in the match that she did not do as a result of her injury.

“I didn’t do the missile dropkick. I didn’t do the backdrop. And you have to think, I broke my right shoulder. My right is my strength. So when I’m in the match, I’m like, ‘I have to throw forearms with my left.’ In my head, I go, ‘I feel bad. I feel like I’m the weakest link right now and making everything look sloppy because I was injured.’”
