Brie Bella gives detailed injury update, discusses early rehab process

Brie Bella said she broke her scapula in three places during her match at SummerSlam. The Bellas teamed with Paige to face Fatal Influence at SummerSlam: Night 1 on Aug. 1. The Bellas turned on Paige after the match, but Brie was visibly injured and barely participated in the segment leaving her sister, Nikki, to put a beating on Paige to complete the angle.

“I broke my scapula,” said Bella on The Nikki & Brie Show on Sirius XM. “I think it’s three places, and it’s really hard to break your scapula, which is really interesting, so it just shows you a freak accident, which before I get into it, I do want to say that it’s nobody’s fault. My injury, it’s part of the business and wrestling. We all sign up knowing, I mean, look at Nikki three months ago, broke her ankle in ring, so we all go in there knowing you take that risk that injury can happen.”

Brie revealed she hurt her shoulder on the cannonball spot on the stairs during her match at SummerSlam. “You never know when, never know what kind of move or when your body, like when it just happens,” said Brie. “So, I did break it. I broke it, for all of you, yes, on the stairs when I got the cannonball, but it was weird because when it happened, I instantly knew.”

Brie said she has talked to her doctors and decided not to do. surgery on her scapula, as surgery is rarely performed on that type of break. “He was like, ‘You know, it’s really hard to break your scapula,'” said Brie. “He’s like, ‘No one does surgery on scapulas. If you really want it, there is one doctor that can do it,’ but honestly, it’s like breaking your ribs in a way.”

Brie said the healing process will be slow. “You just wait till they slowly heal, and so that’s what I have to do, and with that, I know I have to get X-rays every two weeks to make sure I am healing,” said Brie. “I don’t start PT for another two weeks, so they really want me to be bedridden.”
