WWE star Danhausen talks debut, Danhausenettes

NEWYou can now listen to Pakinomist articles!

Danhausen made his debut at Elimination Chamber in February when he emerged from a mysterious box set up on stage.

The professional wrestling star’s entrance came with a confused fan base and questions about who this guy was and how he would fit into a crowded roster full of talented wrestlers all vying for championships and time on the major premium live events, “Monday Night Raw” and “Friday Night SmackDown.”

Danhausen came out with his face painted and several women, known at the time as the Danhausenettes. It was his first appearance since leaving All Elite Wrestling, where he had the same gimmick – putting a “curse” and coming across as more of a comedy than anything else.

In the weeks leading up to WrestleMania, Danhausen captured the fans. He “cursed” The Miz, Kit Wilson, Dominik Mysterio, the New York Mets and Stephen A. Smith between his debut and WrestleMania 42. In Las Vegas, his T-shirts were everywhere and dozens of fans painted their faces to match the “very cute, very evil” superstar.

“I’ve only been here about two months and look at the impact Danhausen has made,” he told Pakinomist Digital before WrestleMania Night 1. “He’s got a stand at WrestleMania. He’s going to be at WrestleMania. And his face is on everything. Gotta have it on the side of the truck. But what was your question talking about?”

Danhausen also gave an update on the Danhausenettes, who have not been seen since they danced and performed on stage at Elimination Chamber.

“Well, we gave them a holiday,” he said. “A big reception. We gave them their human money to go out and do whatever they want for now. Maybe we’ll see them again. Maybe we won’t. I don’t know. It’ll be a surprise.”

Danhausen appeared at WrestleMania Night 2 – his first WrestleMania.

He came out to a huge reaction in a segment involving John Cena, The Miz and Wilson. He was accompanied by professional wrestlers from Micro Wrestling. They also got involved when Danhausen punched The Miz in the groin. The Micro Wrestling performers carried The Miz out of the ring.
