Nikki explained, “I’ve been told to ‘zip it.’”
The injury occurred during the Six-Woman Tag Team Match. Brie walked away holding her shoulder.
Afterward, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque told reporters at a press conference, “She’s injured. 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.”
He went on, “I know [she] hurt her shoulder. Seems pretty bad, but I don’t have that answer yet. Hopefully, we will soon and hopefully it won’t be as bad as we thought it was, but that’s the nature of the game.”
Just one day before the injury, Brie told Us Weekly of Nikki and herself, “This run has been unlike any run we’ve both have ever done. I feel so comfortable, and when you’re so comfortable, and I’m looking at this as, ‘I’m not gonna lie to myself. I’m not in denial. This is my last run.’”
