Danhausen’s status in AEW continues to stir speculation, as his contract—originally set to expire in July—was extended due to injury time off. Despite not being featured on television, interest in the unique performer has grown, particularly within WWE.

Dave Meltzer reported via the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that WWE officials are intrigued by Danhausen’s gimmick, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said to be an early admirer of his work. While AEW retains him for now, WWE’s interest has sparked heavy fan anticipation about a potential jump in the future. For now, fans will have to wait and see how AEW handles his return and whether WWE makes a serious play for him when he’s free.
