On the Beach Break edition of Dynamite, Danhausen made arguably the most bizarre debut in All Elite Wrestling history. The 31-year-old emerged from beneath the ring while Adam Cole looked for a weapon in his Lights Out match against Orange Cassidy.
A week later, Danhausen appeared alongside Cassidy to accompany Wheeler Yuta for his bout against Jon Moxley. In his cameo appearance, the face-painted star placed a “curse” on the former WWE Superstar, the same way he did with The Panama City Playboy on the night of his debut.
On Busted Open Radio, Tony Khan said Danhausen is really fun to watch. The AEW owner further added that The “Very Nice, Very Evil” star would be closely associated with Orange Cassidy moving forward:
Mr. Khan believes the AEW universe loves Danhausen, and he’s happy to give them what they want. The company’s founder also shared his belief that he prefers listening to fans when it comes to booking scenarios:
Danhausen and Cassidy have the same penchant for portraying comical gimmicks, which is why their pairing could become an entertaining act in AEW programming.
Danhausen gave a new moniker to fellow AEW star Bryan Danielson
Danhausen may have become a fan favorite, but stars like Bryan Danielson don’t have the same liking for the former. In an attempt to convince Jon Moxley to join forces with him last week, Danielson name-dropped Cassidy and Danhausen during his promo and called them a joke.
However, Danhausen took Danielson’s dig as a compliment, as he took to Twitter to thank the former WWE Superstar for mentioning him. In an amusing bit, the face-painted star mentioned “Bryan Samuelson” in his tweet instead of Bryan Danielson. It will be interesting to see how The American Dragon will react to being given a witty nickname.
