Summary

Danhausen says the reaction he has received from WWE crowds since his Elimination Chamber debut has matched what he expected from the start.

After picking up a win at Backlash alongside Minihausen against The Miz and Kit Wilson, Danhausen appeared on the post-show and was asked whether the level of fan support in WWE had surprised him.

Quote from Danhausen

"No, I always thought I was great. I am great, and I’ll continue to be great!"

Danhausen later went on to say:

"Well, as you saw, I thought he would be a couple of inches taller. However, I think it gave us the advantage because when Miz threw his clothesline, he tripped, which was a nice little benefit there, and I don’t think that would have happened had he been taller."

What Backlash could mean for Danhausen in WWE

Danhausen coming out of Backlash with a win, then immediately leaning into the same confidence that has defined the character, is a sign WWE is still presenting him as a crowd-pleasing featured act rather than a one-off novelty. Between the Elimination Chamber debut and the Backlash follow-up, the company has kept him in visible spots.

If that keeps going, Danhausen should remain tied to light-hearted television segments around The Miz and Kit Wilson in the near term. That does not confirm a larger push on its own, but it does show WWE has found a lane for him that is getting a response.
