WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella has provided updates regarding her recovery from multiple scapula fractures sustained during SummerSlam on August 1.

Initially, Bella clarified that there is no set timeline for her return to the ring and dismissed rumors regarding specific creative storylines. During this period, she also addressed a controversy involving a gambling advertisement featuring Sydney Sweeney, criticizing the broadcast of provocative imagery during family-oriented sporting events.

As her recovery reached the eight-week mark, Bella noted that the downtime has allowed her to reflect on her personal priorities and health. She also addressed online speculation suggesting her vegan diet contributed to brittle bones, firmly rejecting claims that her bone density is weak or that her diet caused the injury.

In recent updates shared on ‘The Nikki & Brie Show’, Bella revealed she has opted against surgery in favor of a rehabilitation process. Following a recent CT scan, she reported feeling strong but remains restricted in her physical activity, stating, “I can’t yet lift more than five pounds.” She noted experiencing occasional sharp pains and spasms.

Her current regimen includes physical therapy three times a week to strengthen the muscles surrounding the scapula. Bella indicated that a return to the ring remains a distant prospect, as she is waiting for her bones to fuse and intends to avoid rushing the recovery process.
