Brie Bella’s scapula (shoulder blade) still hasn’t fully healed more than three months after she was injured at WWE SummerSlam on August 1. Speaking to Ryan Gaydos of OutKick in a recent interview, Brie revealed that her latest CT scan shows the bone is still broken.
“Well, right now, I still have some breaks, unfortunately. We just got my CT scan back, but I’m hoping beginning of December, I’ll have better news.”
Brie originally expected to be healed by now. In October, after another scan showed the bones still weren’t healed, Brie explained on The Nikki & Brie Show that it would take about three months, a period that ended on November 1.
Brie’s injury also proved to be more serious than originally revealed. In August, days after SummerSlam, she revealed that she broke her scapula in three places, and that number is now up to five.
Brie said that while her recovery process has been slower than she would like, her doctor told her that she’s on track. She recently ramped up her physical therapy and made it clear that the goal is to be back in the ring for training in January.
“I’m hoping I can get back training in the ring in January. That is my goal. So, if the shoulder blade, if we see that everything is fused, then I can.”
Brie said she hopes to team with Nikki Bella again in 2027 and challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, which they’ve never won together. It’s the second time this year that broken bones have sidelined the team, with Nikki suffering a fractured ankle three weeks before WrestleMania 42.
“I don’t know what 2026 was trying to tell the Bellas, but all it told us was broken bones.”
If Brie begins in-ring training as soon as January starts, she would have just over five weeks to prepare for the Royal Rumble on February 6, 2027, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
