All Elite Wrestling just became slightly more evil as wrestling and social media star Danhausen has officially become “all elite”. Appearing on last night’s episode of Dynamite, Danhausen surprised audiences, and mostly Adam Cole, during Cole’s lights-out match against Orange Cassidy Cassidy, when he appeared from underneath the ring.
Cassidy and Danhausen have tagged all across the independent scene, and have become sensations, walking that fine line of comedic acts being serious contenders in their companies. While Cassidy signed with AEW, Danhausen joined the Ring of Honor roster. Now, though, the two find themselves in the same company.
Last year, GameSpot spoke with Donovan Danhausen–the man behind the makeup–about the inspiration behind the character and using social media to jumpstart his wrestling career. At the time, he’d just appeared on Conan O’Brien’s podcast, leading to more widespread recognition.
How exactly AEW will start booking Danhausen is anyone’s guess. They’ve made stars out of former independent performers like Jungle Boy, Scorpio Sky, and Nyla Rose (also about to be featured as a co-writer for Marvel Comics’ Thunderbird with Orlando). Will he continue to haunt the Elite, or will he find himself tag-teaming with Cassidy once again
