Danhausen has solidified his presence in WWE by cursing notable stars, most recently targeting Dominik Mysterio last week and the Original El Grande Americano on the latest RAW episode. The WWE newcomer leveraged social media to engage with Becky Lynch by questioning if a shared GIF depicted her. Lynch responded by clarifying that the image was actually of her in-ring adversary, referee Jessika Carr, and urged Danhausen to cast a curse on Carr. Acknowledging the seriousness of identity theft, Danhausen agreed to take action.
“No that’s Jessika Carr cosplaying as me. CURSE HER!!” Lynch wrote.
Danhausen replied on Twitter:
“Identify theft is a crimehausen. You got it.”
Becky Lynch’s ongoing tensions with Jessika Carr trace back to her rivalry involving AJ Lee. Whether Danhausen will continue this unusual alliance by cursing the referee remains to be seen.
Criticism from Former WWE Writer on Danhausen’s Rise
Although Danhausen received a mixed reception after debuting at Elimination Chamber, a backstage segment with Adam Pearce and The Judgment Day helped boost his popularity significantly. Nevertheless, Vince Russo, a former WWE head writer, voiced skepticism about WWE’s ability to elevate Danhausen’s status during an appearance on the Behind the Turnbuckle Studio YouTube channel.
“What happened to Mr. Iguana? This is the same thing! This is the same exact thing—where is that guy?” Vince Russo said. “Danhausen is talented. I’m taking nothing away from this guy. But this is a company that couldn’t get Bray Wyatt over. And you’re going to get this guy over? Good luck pointing at him, Triple H. Good luck with that.”
Despite Russo’s doubts, WWE audiences have responded positively to Danhausen’s curse persona, showing strong support when he appeared in the ring this week with enthusiastic reactions.
Implications of the Lynch and Danhausen Partnership in WWE
This alliance between Becky Lynch and Danhausen introduces a unique dynamic into WWE storylines, combining Lynch’s established star power with Danhausen’s mystique and curse gimmick. It adds intrigue to ongoing rivalries, especially with referee Jessika Carr involved, potentially impacting future WWE programming. How this collaboration influences both characters’ trajectories and audience engagement remains a key storyline to follow in the weeks ahead.
