Various media outlets speculated as to whether this would be Muhammad Hassan's last match. It now appears that it may very well be. Before the match, a brash and confident Hassan spoke of his sacrifices as an Arab-American, ensured that he'd be the next No. 1 Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship and then proclaimed that if he lost, it would be the final time he'd show his face.

Then, the lights went out on Hassan's SmackDown! career.

Late in the match, Undertaker caught Hassan with a punishing chokeslam to earn the win. Hassan's sympathizers rushed the ring, but Undertaker fought them all off -- finally hitting the Tombstone on the hooded man who had twice choked him out with piano wire. Hassan bought some time by pushing Daivari toward the Phenom, and Undertaker promptly put Hassan's manager through an announce table. The Deadman then caught Hassan crawling up the entrance ramp and hit yet another chokeslam -- this time onto the metal ramp.

Undertaker then did the unthinkable: He removed portions of the steel stage to create a cavernous opening. Undertaker then lifted Hassan and gave him a Last Ride to the concrete far below. Hassan's body lay contorted with blood gushing from the back of his head. EMTs tried feverishly to stabilize Hassan and quickly ushered him to a nearby medical facility.
