Following Danhausen’s mixed reception following his WWE debut at Elimination Chamber, some new updates have emerged.
One of the interesting storylines from Saturday’s event was what was in the mysterious box that was delivered to WWE Raw two weeks ago. There was a note on the crate stating that it would not be opened until the Elimination Chamber. This led to a large amount of speculation about who or what was involved.
While many fans were hoping this would be the return of Chris Jericho, as we got closer to the event, most reports pointed to AEW alumnus Danhausen being in the crate. When the box was broken open and it was, in fact, Danhausen inside, he was unfortunately given a warm welcome by the WWE fans in Chicago.
Danhausen has signed a multi-year deal with WWE
Opinions on social media have been mixed, and the fact that AEW kept him under contract for a year but didn’t use him certainly didn’t help. Additionally, it seems that there was disagreement within the company over whether or not to sign him, according to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer.
“People pushed for him, [but] There were people who didn’t want him,” Meltzer said after the event. “It wasn’t a unanimous decision or anything like that. I think the people who didn’t want him were thinking, ‘Hmm, sure it didn’t work out so well this time.’
“But time will tell. He’ll get another chance. Maybe it’ll be The Gobbledy Gooker, and maybe it’ll be R-Truth.”
The comedy wrestlers will get many more opportunities as, according to BodySlam.net, Danhausen has signed a multi-year contract with WWE. Additionally, the outlet claims that those in favor of adding him wanted to bring him in in July, but despite their requests, AEW extended his contract.
