UPN told WWE that they don’t want Muhammad Hassan to appear on next week’s edition of SmackDown! due to the tons of bad publicity both WWE and UPN have gotten this weekend and yesterday over what took place last week. Hassan did appear at the SmackDown! tapings but was a part of Velocity only. He was talking about on SmackDown! but was never shown on camera.
As far as the bad media publicity over the wretched storyline goes, Variety has posted an article on how bad it’s been, that summarizes it well. You can read that by clicking HERE.
