Dahnausen has made his first official appearance under the WWE banner.

On February 16, a mystery crate was shipped to the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee, where Raw was being taped. It contained instructions, one of which said that it wasn’t to be opened until February 28, which was the same day as the Elimination Chamber.

The brand’s GM, Adam Pearce, ordered it to be shipped to SmackDown so that his contemporary, Nick Aldis, could deal with it.

After the box was shipped back-and-forth a couple more times, it was decided that both managers would open it at the Chamber event together.

On Saturday, the unveiling occurred ahead of the men’s Elimination Chamber match when Pearce and Aldis opened the crate using crowbars.

Inside the box was a coffin. When it opened, a few women with face paint and wearing black dresses ran out.

Danhausen then walked out to a theme song, greeting some members of the audience. He then walked up to Michael Cole on commentary and handed him a glass container filled with dentures.

He then went inside the ring and posed for the fans before the lights went out.

Danhausen Reacts After Appearing At WWE Elimination Chamber

Danhausen’s appearance at the Elimination Chamber generated a reaction that could only be labeled as mixed, as it contained noticeable boos.

Wrestling fans who are familiar with his work in AEW would have been thrilled, considering he has a cult following.

Unfortunately, the Jacksonville promotion did not give him much TV time, so it will be interesting to see how Triple H & Co. turn it around with their vision.

Elsewhere, the 35-year-old star broke his silence by taking to X following his first major TV appearance.
