Backstage Update On WWE’s Reported Interest In Danhausen

As previously reported, Danhausen’s contract with AEW is set to expire in February 2026. There are some individuals within WWE who are interested in bringing him into the company, while others are less supportive of this move.

According to Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select, sources in WWE indicate that there is interest in Danhausen once his AEW deal ends. It was noted that one source believes Danhausen would thrive in the NXT environment. However, there is currently no confirmation that he will join WWE, as he is still under contract with AEW, and any potential transition would require negotiations between both parties.

Danhausen has not appeared on AEW television in 2025. Although he has continued to work on the independent circuit, his last appearance for AEW or ROH was at Final Battle 2024. He had previously requested that time missed due to injury not be added to his contract, but it ultimately was. Reportedly, he has not been backstage at AEW for an extended period and has not been part of any creative plans for a while. He joined AEW in January 2022.
