When speaking to the media after the event, Paul 'Triple H' Levesque confirmed that Brie had been taken to the hospital following her injury.
"She's injured," Levesque said. "I don't have an update yet. She was here, got some treatment here and has been taken to the hospital to get some scans done. So I don't have a clean answer on it yet. I know it was her shoulder. It seems pretty bad."
Levesque continued by noting that Brie's injury was part and parcel of being a professional wrestler. However, he did wish her well and share his hope that the issue isn't as bad as first thought.
"Hopefully it won't be as bad as we thought it was. But that's the nature of the game, and we'll pivot accordingly for everything. It's unfortunate. I hate that it's part of our business."
Fortunately for the WWE, Brie's injury was the only one sustained throughout the first night of SummerSlam. The hope is now that she'll make a speedy recovery and return to the ring in the near future.
