After weeks of teases about what was inside the mystery crate, WWE Raw and SmackDown General Managers Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis opened the box to reveal the debut of Danhausen.
Alongside dancers and new theme music, the former AEW star received a lot of pomp and circumstance to introduce him to the WWE audience.
Now, it looks like Danhausen might be appearing on Monday Night Raw and could do any number of things on the show for his debut.
Here are seven potential WWE Raw debut plans for Danhausen.
7. Officially Signing With Monday Night Raw
Danhausen is someone who received a lot of attention for his WWE debut at the Elimination Chamber 2026 premium live event.
After weeks of hype heading into the reveal of the mystery crate, it feels like Danhausen should be a highly touted free agent for either General Manager to sign.
Danhausen officially signing with Monday Night Raw would be a kickstart to his run with WWE moving forward.
Interacting with Raw GM Adam Pearce could be an interesting way for the former AEW star to become further established to the WWE fanbase following his arrival at Elimination Chamber 2026.

6. A Confrontation With El Grande Americano
Danhausen interacting with other WWE stars might be the best way to get over his very unique character.
Looking at the WWE Raw roster, El Grande Americano is someone who gets regularly featured and offers some comedy to the Monday night show.
In the midst of his storyline with The Original El Grande Americano, the other El Grande could have a confrontation with Danhausen.
The former AEW and ROH star getting confused by all the different El Grandes and putting a curse on them would be intriguing and further bolster his profile on WWE TV.

5. Facing Off With GUNTHER
Sometimes, it is probably best to place Danhausen in a segment with someone who is the exact opposite of him.
The former AEW star facing off with top stars on Monday Night Raw could go a long way in developing his character on WWE television.
GUNTHER is someone who is known as ‘The Ring General’ and the ultimate wrestler that does not have any gimmicks instead focusing on holding the mat sacred.
Having Danhausen facing off with GUNTHER would be interesting and could lead to a big beatdown to garner sympathy for the newest WWE star.

4. Showing Up In The Judgment Day Clubhouse
Back in 2023 and 2024, fans were entertained by R-Truth interacting with The Judgment Day in the clubhouse.
Now, WWE could have another comedy character who may look at The Judgment Day clubhouse as a fun way to get on television consistently.
Danhausen invading The Judgment Day clubhouse would be a hilarious way to highlight the former AEW star on WWE TV initially.
Showing up in the clubhouse, Danhausen might be cursing The Judgment Day who look to be on their way to major changes, especially considering the animosity between Dominik Mysterio and Finn Balor.

3. Forming A Tag team With R-Truth
Speaking of R-Truth, many fans have drawn connections with the longtime veteran and Danhausen.
The former AEW star forming a partnership with Truth feels like a legitimate possibility to establish him in his new home.
As of late, Truth has seen limited appearances on WWE TV and only been featured as an in-ad spokesperson for the ESPN app as well as Papa John’s.
Danhausen and R-Truth forming a Truth-Hausen tag team would be a lot of fun a way to pair up the two comedy acts together.

2. Interacting With His Real-Life Friend CM Punk
During his time in All Elite Wrestling, Danhausen formed plenty of friendships with several stars on the roster.
Being seen as real-life friends and featuring in social media videos together, Danhausen and CM Punk have been closely tied to one another for years.
With many fans feeling that Punk may have been someone backstage in WWE that pushed for the signing of the former AEW star, it could be an intriguing way to highlight Danhausen by having him interact with the current World Heavyweight Champion.
Whether it be backstage or in the ring, Danhausen and Punk having some kind of interaction would help to solidify himself in WWE, getting endorsed by one of the biggest stars on the roster.

1. Accidentally Answering Brock Lesnar’s Open Challenge
On the February 23 episode of Monday Night Raw, Brock Lesnar made his return to the company alongside Paul Heyman.
Lesnar and Heyman issued an open challenge to anyone on the WWE roster to face ‘The Beast Incarnate’ at WrestleMania 42.
With Lesnar revealing his schedule where fans should see more than just one WWE star try to answer the challenge, Danhausen coming out to accidentally answer the open challenge could further thrust him into the spotlight after his initial debut.
Lesnar destroying Danhausen would help to establish him as someone on the WWE roster and potentially garner sympathy that would make him a fan favorite moving forward.
