At WWE Elimination Chamber 2026, Danhausen made his debut with the company as the individual inside the mystery crate.

Since then, the ‘Very Nice, Very Evil’ star has endeared himself with the WWE fanbase to become one of the most popular names on the roster today.

This should put him in position to play a major role at the WWE SummerSlam 2026 premium live event this coming August in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Here are six potential SummerSlam plans that could be in store for Danhausen.

6. Facing Dominik Mysterio

Dominik Mysterio was the first WWE star to be cursed by Danhausen

On the March 2 edition of WWE Raw, Danhausen appeared for the first time in a backstage segment with Raw General Manager Adam Pearce.

After hearing his demands for the GM, Pearce introduced Danhausen to Dominik Mysterio.

This led to Danhausen making ‘Dirty Dom’ the first WWE star to be cursed. Then, Mysterio went on to lose the Intercontinental Championship to Penta just a few minutes later.

Dominik Mysterio targeting Danhausen could be a major singles match to put on the WWE SummerSlam 2026 card.

5. Teaming With ‘Demon’ Finn Balor Against The Judgment Day

Dominik Mysterio losing the Intercontinental Championship became the straw that broke the camel’s back with Finn Balor costing his Judgment Day stablemate.

This led to The Judgment Day turning on Balor the following following with a four-on-one assault.

While Balor was able to get a measure of revenge with a win over Mysterio in a Street Fight at WWE WrestleMania 42 night two, it seems like this rivalry is far from over.

‘Demon’ Finn Balor making his return and aligning with his fellow demon, Danhausen, could make for a formidable pairing that might be enough to take down Judgment Day’s Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh at WWE SummerSlam 2026.

4. Battle With Sami Zayn

As of late, Sami Zayn has found himself at odds with a certain section of the WWE fanbase.

While he remains steadfast in his beliefs and thinks he hasn’t changed one bit, the fans continue to boo Zayn week after week.

After dealing with Trick Williams and his Gingerbread Man mind games, Zayn might have to deal with another comedic character moving forward.

Danhausen becoming the latest target for Zayn would be an interesting rivalry that could come to a head with a showdown at WWE SummerSlam 2026 this August.

3. Teaming With Jelly Roll

At WWE Backlash 2026, Danhausen revealed his mystery partner was none other than Minihausen when they went on to defeat The Miz and Kit Wilson in a tag team match.

Heading into the Backlash PLE, there were reports circulating that Danhausen’s mystery tag team partner could be country music singer, Jelly Roll.

Prior to WWE WrestleMania 42, Jelly Roll found himself feuding with both Miz and Kit with the Grammy Award winner even defeating Wilson for his first singles victory.

Jelly returning might lead to him finally teaming with Danhausen to step back into the squared circle at WWE SummerSlam 2026, one year after his in-ring debut.

2. Teaming With CM Punk & Joe Hendry Against The Vision

Another name that was speculated to be Danhausen’s tag team partner at WWE Backlash 2026 was CM Punk.

During their time in All Elite Wrestling, Punk and Danhausen formed a very close friendship with one another.

Reports have indicated that it was in fact Punk who pushed for WWE to hire Danhausen in the first place.

Looking at WWE Raw, Joe Hendry finds himself in the crossfire with The Vision, so fans could see him team with both Danhausen and Punk to face Logan Paul, Austin Theory and Bron Breakker at WWE SummerSlam 2026.

1. Special Guest Host

Danhausen has a 3-0 record in WWE as of this writing

Danhausen has proven himself to be a very charismatic character that could hold his own with legends of the past.

At WWE WrestleMania 42 night two, John Cena seemingly passed the torch to Danhausen during an in-ring segment with The Miz and Kit Wilson.

Following in the footsteps of Cena, Danhausen could be named the special guest host for the WWE SummerSlam 2026 PLE.

With his eccentric personality and connection with the fans, Danhausen being the special guest host of WWE SummerSlam 2026 could present some fun interactions with the current stars on the roster come this August.
