Brie Bella was noticeably grabbing her right shoulder during a six-woman tag team match at WWE SummerSlam on Saturday night as she appeared to suffer an injury.
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.
Nikki Bella attacked Paige at the end of the match, signaling a villainous turn to their characters. She provided an update on Brie in an interview on Busted Open Radio on Sunday before the second night of the premium live event began.
“Shes doing OK. She is in a lot of pain,” Nikki Bella said of Brie. “They are still determining whats going on. Brie will share that whenever. ⦠Ive been told to zip it.”
WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque told reporters after Night 1 that the injury “seems pretty bad.”
“Yeah, shes injured,” he said. “I dont have an update yet. Weve taken her. She was here, got some treatment done here, has been taken to the hospital to get some scans done. Dont have a clean answer on it yet.
“I know she hurt her shoulder. It seems pretty bad, but I dont have an answer yet. Hopefully we will soon. Hopefully, it wont be as bad as we thought it was, but thats 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 Womens Tag Team Championship.
Now, its unclear when Brie Bella will be able to return to the ring.
