10 Very Possible Wrestling News Headlines From 2022

Although there is another more obvious supernatural entity that fans are predicting to rise again in AEW, Danhausen is a whole other prospect. His visage suggests creepy, though he edges towards a kooky comedy performance. Through his character work the "very nice, very evil" wrestler has garnered a cult appreciation throughout the wrestling community.

While many spooky characters became unintentionally camp, such as Papa Shango and Gangrel, Danhausen has embraced it from the get-go. Opening his options up as such has made him a personality that has potential in wrestling and beyond.

It would be great to have Danhausen show up in WWE, but looking at the current product it is difficult to see where he'd find a good fit; more likely than not he'd be a token 24/7 Championship goon. However, with the success of Orange Cassidy, AEW have proven they can successfully create a comedy character that is a commercial success and show highlight. Importantly, they can book such characters in a way that is fulfilling for the performer who takes on the role.

Danhausen's mind and AEW creative combined could be very fruitful for both.
