Why is "will" chosen in the sentence?

Could I trouble you to examine the definition 4 in the following page

https://www.google.co.jp/amp/s/www.collinsdictionary.com/amp/english/bruise

?

If it is ‘yesterday’s events that bruised the government, should the verb have been something such as ‘was’ or ‘might have’ relating to ‘past’, not ‘future’?

Thanks in advance!
