Since his arrival, fans have grown increasingly fond of the backstage segments and promos delivered by Danhausen. While his initial debut may have felt underwhelming, support for the eccentric star has steadily risen in recent weeks, driven by his signature “curses” and comedic timing.
Danhausen officially stepped into the ring earlier this week, facing Kit Wilson on SmackDown. Early reactions to his in-ring debut were largely positive, with fans embracing his ongoing storyline involving The Miz and Wilson. Adding to the buzz, popular streamer IShowSpeed, who was previously cursed by Danhausen backstage on RAW, also shared his reaction to the match during a recent live stream.

Reacting to the moment on stream, IShowSpeed couldn’t help but point out Danhausen’s recurring gimmick, exclaiming, “Hell no, bro! Danhausen always cursing somebody! Hell no!”
