During a recent edition of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the legend spoke about Danhausen’s character. Hardy highlighted that the star’s merchandise sales were extremely good during his time in AEW, and he has now carried that to WWE.

Matt also mentioned that he believed Danhausen was a “good utility” guy and the Stamford-based promotion hasn’t hired him to make him the face of the company.

“[You saw] Danhausen on AEW television, and he was one of the biggest merch sellers. He always did really good with merch numbers there, and I am sure this is going to carry over to WWE… He is not a guy that you hire to make him the face of your company and make him the champion. He is a guy that is a good utility player, super entertaining, who moves merch. He is compelling. People are invested in his comedy and his shtick because he does do a really good job at it,” he said.

Matt Hardy added that he believed the Triple H-led creative team should make him an “absolute attraction,” and he should rarely step inside the ring, as he felt Danhausen was more of a character than a wrestler.

“I would have him be an absolute attraction. I would have him wrestle a match, but I would be very smart, and I think I would keep his matches pretty rare. I think you need to make him an attraction more than anything else. He is a character more than he is a wrestler, and I would focus on the character part of Danhausen more than the in-ring wrestling persona,” he added. [H/T Wrestling News Co.]

WWE star Danhausen cursed Dominik Mysterio

On last week’s Monday Night RAW, Danhausen cursed Dominik Mysterio in a backstage segment. The Judgment Day laughed at the star before he disappeared.

Later in the show, Dirty Dom dropped the Intercontinental Championship to Penta. Many reports suggest that Danhausen’s curse will make Mysterio lose several upcoming bouts, including his clash with El Hijo del Vikingo for the AAA Mega Title on tonight’s AAA Rey de Reyes.

It remains to be seen what the Triple H-led creative team has planned for Danhausen’s future in WWE.
