Former WWE Superstar Muhammad Hassan (Marc Copani) got physical inside a wrestling ring for the first time since 2018 during a recent independent event.
Copani, who currently works as the Director of Human Resources for the Fulton City School District, returned to the ring for a physical confrontation with independent wrestler Krule.
Confrontation and In-Ring Action
During the segment, Krule grabbed Copani by the throat before the former WWE star broke free to ignite the crowd:
- Breaking Free: Copani escaped the chokehold and delivered three punches to back Krule up.
- Executing Signature Offense: He hit a flatliner on Krule before standing tall to chants of “You still got it” from the fans.
The moment marks Copani’s first physical action since 2018, when he briefly returned to compete in three matches for independent promotion The Dynasty.
History of the Muhammad Hassan Character
Copani debuted the Muhammad Hassan gimmick in late 2004, portraying an Arab-American character confronting anti-Muslim prejudice and post-9/11 stereotypes in America.
During his initial run, he shared the ring with top stars including Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, and The Undertaker. WWE abruptly dropped the character and released Copani in September 2005 following media backlash surrounding a controversial angle aired on the same day as the 2005 London bombings.
Copani transitioned into a career in education shortly after his original departure from the industry, and his WWE career was featured in a 2025 episode of Dark Side of the Ring.
