Brie Bella Says They Almost Called Off WWE SummerSlam Match Due To Her Injury
Brie Bella suffered an unfortunate shoulder injury during her six-woman tag match at WWE SummerSlam.
Teaming with Nikki Bella and Paige against Fatal Influence (Lainey Reid, Fallon Henley, & Jacy Jayne), Brie suffered a shoulder early in the bout.
Speaking on her Vlog, Brie revealed there was a thought of calling the match off.
”What’s even crazier, some of the girls were talking about this: when you broke your ankle, you continued the match, and then I broke my shoulder. It’s so funny because we’re people pleasers, but the whole time in my head I’m like ‘No, I gotta stay in so Nikki can get the hot tag.’ They were telling me ‘Stay down,’ they were thinking about calling the match, and I’m like ‘No, no, no.’ Even though I was in crazy pain, all I could think about was ‘Nikki gotta hit that comeback.’”
Brie said she immediately felt the break in her shoulder, and that she wasn’t able to do the rest of the match because she had no strength in her right shoulder, which is where she throws her strikes and moves.
After the match, when Nikki betrayed Paige, Brie was visibly favoring her shoulder and didn’t get involved in the post-match attack.
