#1 FOX unhappy with Jeff Hardy/Sheamus segment on SmackDown

It has been reported that FOX was not happy with the segment with Sheamus and Jeff Hardy on SmackDown last week and even edited out some of it from its feed.

Last week on SmackDown, The Celtic Warrior had Jeff Hardy undergo a 'drug test' on television where Hardy had to submit his urine sample to the doctor present there. While Hardy did clear his test, he also went on to throw his 'urine' which was in a cup on Sheamus' face.

The Observer (via Cagesideseats) has stated that FOX were not pleased with this angle at all:

On Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer indicated that FOX was not happy with Jeff Hardy’s urine angle last week on SmackDown. It violated their Standards and Practices, and was edited off the west coast feed.

SportsKeeda's Gary Cassidy had reported that such an angle would be taking place on SmackDown before it aired. And while many fans quite enjoyed the controversial segment, it looks like we will not be seeing any more of such angles on FOX.
