— According to a report by Fightful.com, Daniel Bryan took a hard bump from Mustafa Ali on last night’s WWE Smackdown Live when Ali connected with his 054 finisher, crashing into Bryan’s throat/collarbone and rib area with his legs after slightly under rotating.
— Ali immediately checked on Bryan and apologized even though Bryan insisted that he was okay. Ali continued apologizing even in the backstage area and WWE officials were said to have “feared the worst”, however, Bryan was indeed fine and able to compete at the Smackdown tapings that are going to air on Christmas Day.
— Just to clarify the development on Smackdown with Paige being removed from the GM role, this is strictly a creative decision to abolish that role on both shows. Paige’s performance as GM was extremely well received by officials and she is going to be re-assigned to a new role with the company, though it remains to be seen whether it will be on Smackdown.
