Brie Garcia Hospitalized With Shoulder Injury at SummerSlam

Professional wrestler Brie Garcia is recovering after suffering a shoulder injury during a match at WWE SummerSlam on August 1, 2026, in Minneapolis. The 42-year-old star was hospitalized following the event, and while her condition is being assessed, officials have described the injury as significant.

The injury occurred during a six-woman tag team match at U.S. Bank Stadium. Garcia, teaming with her twin sister Nikki Garcia and fellow wrestler Paige, faced the trio known as Fatal Influence, consisting of Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid. During the bout, Garcia was seen clutching her right shoulder in apparent pain after a move by an opponent. Despite the injury, her team went on to win the match.

WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque addressed the situation in a post-event press conference on August 1. He confirmed Garcia was injured and had received initial treatment at the venue before being transported to a hospital for scans. Levesque stated that while the full extent of the injury was not yet known, it seemed pretty bad, acknowledging such risks are part of the nature of the sport.
