Tony Khan has pulled yet another ace up his sleeve, this time in the form of Danhausen. The entry of the unorthodox wrestler into AEW signifies the ever-growing roster is getting even better. While his debut was not executed in grand fashion, fans were still excited to see him join the All Elite Brand.
He appeared out of nowhere on the Beach Break episode of AEW Dynamite during the fight between Adam Cole and Orange Cassidy. Cole was as surprised as the fans when the bizarre performer attempted to put a curse on him. This served as a distraction, which enabled Orange Cassidy to take back control of the bout.
The spooky new recruit has seemingly aligned himself with Orange Cassidy for the time being. With there being a lot of mystery regarding his character, it's hard to predict what will unfold next. Here are 5 potential feuds the 31-year old wrestler can start to get involved in the mix with AEW.
#5 Danhausen's interrupting Adam Cole might ignite a feud
Adam Cole's run at AEW looked almost unstoppable until Danhausen's appearance in his match against Orange Cassidy. This interruption was definitely a factor in Cassidy being able to end Cole's singles streak at Beach Break. BayBay would understandably want revenge for this.
Adam Cole is extremely charismatic and has a way with the fans - even as a heel. Mr. "Very nice, very evil" was also a fan favorite when he got to AEW. A feud between the two would definitely split the AEW community, in a good way.
If Tony Khan does decide to go through with this option, it would be a treat to watch Cole enter with all his hype, to face off with the newcomer.
#4 Danhausen against Eddie Kingston would be fun to watch
Danhausen has already become a man to watch out for in the near future simply by his interesting gimmick. His weirdly spooky persona makes him a unique addition to the AEW roster. This also opens up many more routes to explore in future storylines.
Eddie Kingston might be the perfect foil for Danhausen's casual character. The Mad King is a serious wrestler, with a no-nonsense attitude. It also helps that Kingston is adept with the mic as well, which will ensure effective promos. AEW's newest performer will have a tough time keeping up with Kingston's straightforward style, making the feud extremely interesting to watch.
If a rivalry does happen between these two, the conflicting personalities might prove to be a major factor. Mr. "Very evil, very nice" will have to evade Eddie Kingston's direct confrontations. In any case, fans will be in for a treat if Kingston somehow enters the fray against the indie sensation.
#3 Danhausen might be gearing up for a feud with Jon Moxley
Jon Moxley is currently one of the roughest wrestlers in AEW. The rugged character he plays is very well received by AEW fans. In some ways, his style is comparable to Eddie Kingston's.
Furthermore, Danhausen has also interfered in Jon Moxley's recent match against Wheeler Yuta. Although Moxley managed to take the win, the interruption allowed Yuta to get in a free shot when the former was outside the ring. The new All Elite recruit was a distraction for Mox throughout the match, which seemed to suggest a feud down the road.
Considering Moxley's top-tier status, a rivalry with the indie sensation would certainly draw a large crowd. It also helps that Mr. "Very nice, very evil" has already garnered a fair amount of his own All Elite fans. The rivalry has all the signs of being a banger, if both of them lock horns with each other.
#2 Darby Allin's reckless attitude would play well against Danhausen
While Danhausen is the proverbial new kid on the block, Darby Allin has been referred to as one of the four pillars of AEW. His previous battles against the likes of MJF and CM Punk have well established him as a potential face of AEW. Arguably one of the brightest talents on the current AEW roster, Darby's fearless fighting style is an example of modern pro-wrestling.
Danhausen, on the other hand, is decidedly comical in his promos and even his fighting style. This is in stark contrast to Darby Allin. The power balance between the two is different enough to be entertaining in its own way.
Tony Khan might be taking a gamble if he signs off on this rivalry, but it seems worth it. A feud between these two athletic wrestlers would be fun not just for the matches, but also for their entertaining promos.
#1 Wardlow needs a solo storyline, and Danhausen might be helpful for that
Wardlow's indomitable buildup using consecutive squash matches has led to nothing yet. Fans were really hoping for the culmination of Mr. Mayhem's arc with him separating from the pinnacle. However, that's yet to come. The closest he has come to leaving MJF's side is a couple of angry stares directed at the Pinnacle leader.
The gradual rise of Wardlow will probably not be allowed to go unused, and Danhausen might be a way to make good use of Mr. Mayhem's buildup. The size difference will probably mean that it probably won't come down to in-ring ability. Nevertheless, a destructive wrestler like Wardlow going against a comical performer would be a unique rivalry to watch.
