WWE star Brie Bella says she'll be 'out for a bit' after suffering broken scapula during SummerSlam match
WWE star Brie Bella announced Monday she will be "out for a bit" after suffering a broken scapula during her six-woman tag team match at SummerSlam over the weekend. Bella made the revelation in a post on her Instagram account and thanked fans for their outpouring of support. "I wanted to thank you all for sending me all the love, warm wishes and prayers," she wrote. "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. "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." Bella appeared to suffer the injury after taking a move from opponent Jacy Jayne. Bella was seated next to the steel steps when her opponent, Jacy Jayne, hit a running senton on her. At that moment, she began to clutch her shoulder and kept rubbing it during the rest of the match with her sister Nikki Bella and Paige. WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque told reporters after Night 1 that the injury "seems pretty bad." "Yeah, she’s injured," he 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." The Bellas and Paige teamed up against Jayne, Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley. Jayne scored the pinfall over Paige to give her team the win. Brie Bella made her stunning return to WWE at the Royal Rumble in January and then was set to team with her sister at WrestleMania 42 before Nikki Bella suffered her own injury. Instead, she teamed with Paige as they won the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Now, Brie will be on the shelf for the time being while Nikki eyes singles gold.
