Bliss remains uncertain for SummerSlam while recovering from elbow damage caused by Jade Cargill
Summary
– Alexa Bliss said her WWE SummerSlam status remains uncertain because of her elbow injury
– Doctors believe she may have a chipped bone and an overstretched ligament
– Bliss hopes the injury will heal within a few weeks, but made no return promise
Alexa Bliss has provided an update on the elbow injury she suffered during Jade Cargill’s attack on WWE SmackDown.
Speaking with ESPN, Bliss said Cargill bent her arm backward while it was trapped inside a steel chair.
Bliss explained that her elbows naturally hyperextend, but the attack pushed them beyond their normal range.
The chair strike may have caused a small bone chip around the elbow, along with an overstretched ligament.
Bliss said the injury remains sore, although the bulky brace has created more inconvenience during her recovery.
She added that the brace is keeping the elbow stable while the damaged area heals.
Bliss hopes she will only need a few more weeks before the injury improves enough for her to move forward.
That potential timeline could allow her to return near SummerSlam, but Bliss refused to confirm that she will appear at the event.
Her status will depend on how quickly the elbow heals and what WWE decides for the SummerSlam storyline.
Bliss also said the company’s plans remain unclear, although she expects Charlotte Flair to be ready for whatever comes next.
Previous reports suggested Bliss was not currently included in WWE’s SummerSlam plans because of the injury.
She has not officially ruled herself out, leaving her return dependent on medical progress over the coming weeks.
