The first time I heard about this I didn't believe it, I had to track down an original copy of the PPV and verify for myself... and yup. There it is.

It only lasted for that 1 show though, as you can see in the video.

Actually, believe it or not, Daivari said Russo wanted to move past Middle Eastern stereotype gimmicks because he thought they were overdone and outdated. But Daivari talked him out of it because he felt they still got heat in this era.

If that's true it's like the 1 week russo would be above shit like that and instantly would have changed his mind
