This week’s Smackdown Live concluded with Mustafa Ali pinning WWE Champion Daniel Bryan after he landed a 054 splash. However, it seems that Ali landed badly on Bryan.
Wrestle Votes reports: “Looks like Mustafa Ali landed hard on Bryan’s arm and chest during the 054 finish. You can hear Ali say something to Bryan then ‘I’m sorry.’ Hope Bryan’s OK.”

Fightful also reports that he was apologizing even more once they got backstage. Daniel Bryan was “adamant” that he was fine, though WWE personnel were truly scared, fearing the worst. Thankfully, Bryan was well enough to take part in the Christmas Day broadcast of the show. So it is safe to say the injury is not as serious as expected.
