A Top WWE Star Just Admitted He Thought Danhausen’s Debut Was Horrible
When Danhausen first appeared at WWE Elimination Chamber, the reaction from fans was confusing at best. Even a former world champion admits he didn’t get it at all.
Former WWE Champion John Bradshaw Layfield opened up on his podcast about the bizarre start to Danhausen’s WWE journey. His honest take? It was pretty bad.
JBL confessed that when the “very nice, very evil” star first walked out, he thought the whole thing was terrible. He said he felt the same confusion most fans did, wondering what exactly they were watching. But here is where the story turns.
In the months since that awkward debut, Danhausen has quietly become one of the biggest merchandise movers in WWE, second only to a few top names. He has even been invited to NBA games, proving his oddball character is catching on in mainstream culture.
JBL admitted he has completely changed his mind. He now calls Danhausen a genuine megastar and credits Triple H for knowing exactly how to handle unique characters. According to JBL, the backstage creative freedom has allowed Danhausen to turn what looked like a failure into a winning formula.
With Night of Champions approaching, fans are now wondering if the former AEW star will finally get his big moment on a PLE card after being left off the last one. If his merchandise sales are any clue, keeping him off the show might be the real horrible decision.
