Popular WWE star Danhausen has reportedly signed a deal to become an even bigger star outside the wrestling company.
Danhausen has taken WWE by storm in 2026. Heading into the year, the very nice, very evil wrestler was at a low point. After making a name for himself with AEW, the company chose to put him on ice for a year when it became clear he wasn’t planning to stick around when his contract expired.
When he got free of the AEW contractual shackles earlier this year, he landed a deal with WWE and was immediately added to the main roster. While his debut at Elimination Chamber in February received mixed reviews, he has quickly turned that narrative around and has become a merchandise monster for the company over the last three months.
Danhausen got a WrestleMania moment in April with wrestling icon John Cena, and had a highly entertaining match with Minihausen against The Miz and Kit Wilson at Backlash earlier this month. However, he has also been making the media rounds and making consistent appearances on ESPN.
It’s helped to turn him into a known commodity to non-wrestling fans. Especially Cleveland Cavaliers supporters after he cursed them this week. Well, it looks like the comedy performer has designs on being even more well-known outside WWE.
According to Deadline, Danhausen has signed a management deal with Adventure Media. The outlet reports Adventure will focus on growing his brand in films, TV, digital, publishing, and other business ventures. So, don’t be surprised if you see the popular wrestler show up in movies and TV shows in the next couple of years.
