Brie Bella Provides Update on Her Injured Shoulder & Impending In-Ring Return

Brie Bella recently provided the latest update on her recovery status from her shoulder injury. Bella has been away from in-ring action since suffering a broken scapula during a six-woman tag team match at WWE SummerSlam 2026. She decided against undergoing surgery and was initially set to be sidelined for three to six months.

On the latest edition of The Nikki & Brie Show, Brie said that though she is feeling relatively stronger than before, her bones are yet to fuse, and hence, she hasn’t been able to do the exercises that she’d love to do. Bella added that her in-ring return is still some time away. Here’s what Brie Bella said:

Brie Bella on Her Recovery Status

“Just got a CT scan. They sent it to WWE. I’m feeling strong. I’m still not cleared to do any of the exercises I would like to do, and I will admit there are times where I will go to shut a window and I get really bad spasms or sharp pains. I’m still really cautious about picking up things that are heavier than five pounds. I’m very smart with that. As of right now, I’m still in physical therapy three days a week doing basic exercises but really trying to strengthen the muscles around the scapula.

On Her In-Ring Return

“I still think my days to be in the ring are still far, unfortunately. I’m not the type of girl to rush things.”

411Mania wishes Brie Bella a speedy recovery and a swift return to in-ring competition.
