Brie Bella possibly injured during WWE SummerSlam
Is Brie Bella now injured following the return of her sister, Nikki Bella?
An injury curse seems to be haunting WWE Hall of Famers, The Bella Twins. Just hours after Nikki Bella’s return from her ankle injury, her sister Brie Bella could now be out.
At WWE SummerSlam 2026 Night One, Brie and Nikki Bella teamed up with Paige to face the trio of Jacy Jayne, Lainey Reid, & Fallon Henley. Following an almost eight-minute match, The Fatal Influence were able to pick up the victory as The Bella Twins turned on Paige.
However, it was Brie Bella’s possible shoulder injury that became a talking point from the match. During the post-match angle, as the sisters attacked the former Divas Champion, Brie Bella did not appear to be completely involved in the angle.
Rather than joining the attack, Bella delivered just a single kick to Paige before repeatedly grabbing her right shoulder. Throughout the spot, the Hall of Famer kept grabbing her shoulder and had a visible expression of discomfort. As of now, there are no confirmed updates on Bella’s injury.
However, the injury seemed to take place during Jayne’s cannonball spot on Bella on the steel ring steps. Immediately after the spot, Bella continued grabbing her shoulder while the referee also engaged in a conversation with her.
Update on Brie Bella’s shoulder injury
Later at the WWE SummerSlam post-show press conference, Triple H confirmed that Bella injured her shoulder during the match. She is currently being assessed and has no confirmed update regarding her status. However, he hopes the injury is not “as bad” as they thought it was.
“Yeah, she’s injured,” Triple H said. “I don’t have an update yet. We’ve taken her. She was here, got some treatment done here, has been taken to the hospital to get some scans done. Don’t have a clean answer on it yet. I know she hurt her shoulder. It seems pretty bad, but I don’t have an answer yet. Hopefully we will soon. Hopefully, it won’t be as bad as we thought it was, but that’s the nature of the game.”
