Danhausen won’t be appearing on television for now, but there is new information about when his contract with AEW will end. Danhausen, who joined AEW in January 2022, quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his unique “Very Nice, Very Evil” persona, which gained popularity from the independent wrestling scene. Although he spent most of 2023 sidelined by injury, the 35-year-old returned briefly late in the year, with his last AEW match being a battle royal during the AEW World’s End 2023 Zero Hour Pre-Show. He also made a surprise appearance at ROH Final Battle 2024 last December, but that seems to be his last for now.
Recently, some of Danhausen’s social media posts have sparked curiosity, and Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp has brought fresh updates on his contract status. AEW officials have confirmed that Danhausen’s contract is now expected to expire around February 2026. Although there were earlier reports that his contract would end this summer, AEW extended it for additional time. Interestingly, WWE’s The Rock is said to be a fan of Danhausen’s character, highlighting the wrestler’s unique appeal. More updates on Danhausen’s future in AEW will be shared as they come.
Fan Take: Danhausen’s contract extension shows AEW’s commitment to keeping creative and beloved talents on board, which thrills fans who appreciate his distinct style. This development signals exciting potential for both AEW’s storytelling and the broader wrestling dynamic, as cross-company admiration indicates a growing respect for diverse characters in the sport.
