Former WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella, who made a high‑profile return to the ring earlier this year, is on the mend after suffering a broken scapula at SummerSlam in August. In a recent interview with OutKick Dropkick, Bella gave fans a detailed update on her recovery and her plans for the coming months.
Injury details and medical outlook
During a tag‑team match with Paige against Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid, Bella fractured her shoulder blade in multiple places. “I shattered my shoulder blade,” she said, noting that the injury involved five separate breaks. A CT scan confirmed the extent of the damage, but Bella’s doctor has told her she is “right on track” for healing.
“We just got my CT scan back, and I’m hoping the beginning of December I’ll have better news,” Bella explained. She added that she is currently undergoing physical therapy and has progressed to a more advanced level, describing the process as “really fun” yet “challenging”.
Timeline for return
Looking ahead, Bella hopes to resume ring training in January. “If the shoulder blade fuses properly, then I can get back,” she said, emphasizing that the medical team’s assessment will determine the exact timeline. She expressed optimism that the doctor’s clearance will come soon, allowing her to return to full training.
Fans of the Bella twins have been eager for a joint comeback. Nikki Bella, who also recovered from an ankle injury earlier this year, is expected to be ready for competition as well. Brie hinted that the sisters could aim for a tag‑team title run in 2027, saying, “When Nikki and I come back together in 2027, the hype will be powerful.”
Upcoming Las Vegas appearance
Before her full return to competition, Bella is scheduled to appear at JP’s Brasserie and Sports Den in Las Vegas. The event will give her a chance to connect with fans while she continues her rehabilitation. “I’m really looking forward to it, and the minute the doctor clears me, I can’t wait to start training again,” she said.
During the interview, Bella also shared thoughts about her future ring gear, weighing options between her recent comeback attire, a new look inspired by SummerSlam, or a classic “Brie Mode” style. While she didn’t reveal specific storyline ideas, she expressed excitement about the creative possibilities once she’s back in the ring.
Community response
The wrestling community has shown strong support for Bella’s recovery, with many fans posting messages of encouragement on social media. Local wrestling clubs in Nevada have also noted increased interest in upcoming WWE events, citing Bella’s upcoming Las Vegas appearance as a boost for regional fan engagement.
Overall, Bella’s update paints a picture of steady progress and hopeful anticipation. With medical clearance expected soon, the former champion aims to return to training early next year and set the stage for a potential Bella‑twin tag‑team resurgence in the near future.
