Danhausen ranked top 3 in Mania merch sales
Despite having less than three career matches, WWE star Danhausen was among the highest in-stadium merchandise sellers at WrestleMania 42.
Known for spouting “You are cursed” before hexing his victims, Danhausen has quickly won favor among the WWE Universe.
According to a Fightful report, Danhausen, along with CM Punk and Cody Rhodes, finished as the top three in-stadium merchandise sellers during WrestleMania weekend.
Despite Danhausen’s surge in popularity since his debut in February, it’s surprising to see him outperform so many WWE superstars in sales.
Surpassing Roman Reigns, Rhea Ripley, Jacob Fatu and Jade Cargill in merchandise sales is no small feat and highlights a growing Danhausen fanbase.
Danhausen has several t-shirt designs, custom sandals and a themed hat available on the WWE official shop.
While WrestleMania 42 host John Cena was announcing the event’s attendance, WWE star The Miz interrupted him.
Referring to their previous rivalry and WrestleMania title match, The Miz demanded to share another in-ring moment with Cena at the Show of the Immortals.
Suddenly, Danhausen, accompanied by a group of villainous mini-me versions, arrived to remove him from the ring.

During the intermission, Danhausen flashed Cena a smile. Instead of cursing him, Danhausen said it was a pleasure to meet the 17-time World Champion.
Danhausen did not compete at WrestleMania 42 and has yet to record a statement win in his young WWE career.

Most WWE stars grow their fanbase through gutsy performances, supreme fighting ability and notable title reigns.
Somehow, Danhausen has gained immense popularity with none of the aforementioned traits.
His fiendish, near-wicked antics have become a weekly attraction for WWE fans.
Recently, Danhausen won his first match due to a pyro malfunction, which he may or may not have influenced.
