5 WWE Stars To Join New Danhausen Faction

WWE

After a much maligned debut at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026, Danhausen has firmly turned things around and became one of the most popular stars on the roster right now.

With Danhausen firmly entrenched in WWE, fans could see the “Very Nice, Very Evil” star start his own stable sometime in the future.

Considering the friends he had coming into WWE and those who have grown a liking to him since his arrival, Danhausen could start his own new faction that can become very prominent in the company right now.

Here are five WWE stars to potentially join a new Danhausen faction.

5. Joe Hendry

A very popular act that has drawn plenty of comparisons and parallels to Danhausen is Joe Hendry.

While Danhausen has gotten comfortable on Friday Night SmackDown, Hendry recently got called up to the WWE main roster following several months on NXT.

The former TNA World Champion could bring even more levity to Danhausen if these two comedic characters came together.

Whether it be appearing whenever someone says their name or cursing those who do not like their singing, Danhausen and Hendry feels like a logical pairing that can be the building blocks for this potential group.

4. R-Truth

Another comedic character on the WWE roster who could be an entertaining ally for Danhausen is R-Truth.

Long considered the funniest WWE star, Truth has been making the fans laugh for the better part of two decades.

Truth currently holds the WWE Tag Team Champions alongside Damian Priest on Friday Night SmackDown.

With both men making the blue brand their home, Danhausen could join forces with Truth to become one of the funniest pairings that WWE has ever seen as they build their own faction together.

3. CM Punk

While they’ve yet to interact on WWE TV, it’s no secret that CM Punk and Danhausen are close friends in real life.

In fact it was reported by the Wrestling Observer that Punk played a big role in getting Danhausen to WWE, something WWE are likely very glad he did given the “Very Nice, Very Evil” star’s success thus far.

As seen any time they have filmed anything together for social media, Punk and Danhausen have great chemistry and play off each other very well.

It’s unknown when Punk will be back on WWE TV, but hopefully when he does, we see an allegiance between Danhausen and “Pepsi Phil.”

2. Baron Corbin

One of the biggest news stories in recent weeks has been the potential WWE return of Baron Corbin.

Corbin being potentially brought back to the company has reportedly been discussed – with the former United States Champion spending much of the past two years competing as Bishop Dyer on the independent scene since his WWE departure in late 2024.

With Danhausen attempting to resurrect someone on WWE TV the past two weeks, there has been speculation that Corbin could be the one seen lying on the gurney backstage.

Why Corbin would be considered dead in WWE is unclear, but Danhausen bringing him back to life to form a new alliance would certainly be an interesting way for “The Lone Wolf” to return to the fold.

1. The Miz

They may have spent the past few months at each other’s throats, but perhaps there is a happy ending in store for The Miz and Danhausen’s relationship.

Miz and Danhausen have been a match made in heaven, playing off each other excellently and, along with Kit Wilson, they have added some levity to Friday Night SmackDown on a weekly basis.

Miz has already teased giving in and mentoring Danhausen, only for it to ultimately be a ruse ahead of their tag team match against each other at WWE Backlash.

Maybe after one final match between the two, Miz will throw in the towel and finally commit to helping Danhausen achieve Hall of Fame status in WWE.
