Muhammad Hassan, one of the biggest "What Ifs" in WWE history
Although his main roster career in WWE was an incredibly short one, it's safe to say that Muhammad Hassan's character received some of the biggest negative reactions in WWE history. His anti-American gimmick immediately established him as a hated heel. His manager, Daivari used to scream at Hassan's victims in a foreign language while he beat them up, resulting in major heel heat.
At The Great American Bash 2005, Hassan was on the receiving end of a Last Ride from The Undertaker, through the ramp. This was a way to write him off WWE TV, and just like that, Hassan's career came to an unfortunate end. Mere days before the PPV, Hassan and The Undertaker were involved in a controversial segment on SmackDown, that garnered major media attention. Increasing public pressure led to WWE canceling the push, and Hassan and Daivari were soon sent back to developmental. The original plan for Hassan was to defeat Batista at SummerSlam 2005, and become the youngest World Champion in WWE history.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
