Summary

AJ Styles had strong praise for Danhausen while speaking on *The Phenomenally Retro Podcast*, pointing to the character's timing and the way WWE has used him opposite The Miz.

Styles described Danhausen as the kind of act that helps WWE keep its weekly television varied. The comments also continue a stretch of recent podcast discussion from Styles, including another WWE-related take from his show.

Quote from AJ Styles

"From what I can see, his comedic timing is perfect. They put him in there with The Miz, which is perfect, and man, it's so good."

Styles later went on to say:

"It's pretty awesome, dude. He's doing a great job, and this is what we need. I think a lot of people don't understand it.

We need a little bit of everything. We want to make sure you get the entertainment from wrestling, but also we want to make you laugh, too. And we've got storylines. We want to give you a little bit of everything.

Danhausen is definitely filling that need."

Danhausen's place on WWE television

Styles framed Danhausen as a change-of-pace character, and that matters because WWE can use acts like his to break up the tone of a long weekly show without stepping away from ongoing stories. His mention of The Miz also underlines that WWE sees value in putting Danhausen next to a veteran personality who can keep those segments moving.
