It’s been a rough year for The Bella Twins as Nikki suffered an ankle injury ahead of WrestleMania 42, and Brie Bella unfortunately suffered a shoulder injury during the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match at Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 18.
While talking about her road to recovery during an interview with OutKick Sports, Brie Bella explained that she’s still healing, but is hoping to receive some better news in the near future. She also indicated that she could be back in the ring by January.
“Well, right now, I still have some breaks, unfortunately. We just got my CT scan back, but I’m hoping beginning of December, I’ll have better news. So, I’m just keeping up with my physical therapy. Finally, I got to kind of go up the next level of physical therapy and that was really fun. It was really challenging so far this week. I was like, whoa, I haven’t been this sore like since July.
“I’m hoping I can get back training in the ring in January. That is my goal. So, if the shoulder blade, if we see that everything is fused, then I can. If not, you know, I just, it’s weird. It’s been like a very interesting process because I shattered my shoulder blade. I broke it in like five different spots. So, it was like, it wasn’t just one fracture, it was many. It’s been interesting to see, see the progress. It’s been a little too slow for me, but the doctor says I’m right on track.”
Brie Bella made her big return to wrestling last year at the Royal Rumble and reunited with her sister on the road to WrestleMania. So, it will be interesting to see if she makes it back in time for the 2027 Royal Rumble on February 6, which also happens to be in her home state of Arizona.
