Brie Bella sustained an injury during Nikki Bella’s in-ring return.
The Bella Twins’ (Nikki & Brie Bella) reunion, which transpired after Brie’s return at the Royal Rumble, was cut short due to Nikki’s ankle injury that forced her to miss WrestleMania 42. Brie teamed up with a returning Paige to win the Women’s Tag Team titles.
One week before SummerSlam 2026, Nikki returned to aid Brie and Paige against Fatal Influence, leading to a six-woman tag match for the PLE. Unfortunately, during the match, Brie suffered a shoulder injury during a spot ringside near the steel steps.
Fatal Influence won the match, and the Bella Twins turned on Paige, although Brie was unable to partake in the beatdown. During the post-show, Triple H revealed that Brie had been taken to the hospital for further medical evaluation, including scans.
He said he did not have an immediate update on her condition but hoped to share more information once it became available. On the other hand, Nikki provided an update on her sister during an appearance on Busted Open Radio.
“She’s doing okay. She is in a lot of pain. They are still determining what is going on. Brie will share that whenever. I’ve been told to ‘zip it.’”

Now, Brie has provided an update herself, thanking fans as she begins her recovery and gears up for a return to her ‘wrestling home.’
Brie Bella will be out of action for ‘a bit’
Brie Bella, via her Instagram, shared an update thanking fans for the warm wishes and prayers. She also confirmed that she suffered a broken scapula.
“I wanted to thank you all for sending me all the love, warm wishes and prayers. When I was sitting in the hospital, I was reading everything you guys were sending my way, love you all!!! Unfortunately I’ll be out for a bit. I broke my scapula.
If there’s one thing I know about my sister and I is that we don’t let broken bones stop us. 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 WWE star also shared that her recovery journey had begun, joking that Buddy would be her assistant, Birdie her nurse, and Daniel Bryan her personal chef. She added that Brie Mode always finds a way to return to her wrestling home.
“Now my new journey starts!! Buddy said he’s going to be my assistant, Birdie‘s going to be my nurse and they both told me that daddy is going to be my personal chef, so I am set!! if there is one thing I know about Brie Mode, she always finds a way to come back to her wrestling home. Let the recovery begin. 🫶🏽”
