John Cena And Danhausen Steal The Spotlight At WrestleMania
On night 2 of WrestleMania 42, Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas saw The Miz and Kit Wilson interrupt John Cena’s attendance announcement segment. Miz and Wilson were there to demand their own WrestleMania moments.
Shortly later, Danhausen arrived in his Danhausen-mobile, accompanied by a group of mini-hausens. Kit Wilson rudely shoved one of the mini-hausens, and the group retaliated with a low blow and a dogpile on Wilson.
Danhausen then attacked The Miz and hit him with a version of the Five Knuckle Shuffle with Cena’s blessing, followed by a low blow to the A-Lister. This segment was very much enjoyed by the fans, as many of them had been looking forward to the two stars meeting for a while.
