How Danhausen & John Cena WWE WrestleMania 42 Segment Came Together With The Miz, Kit Wilson & Mini Danhausens

WWE

Dwetails have emerged regarding how the John Cena and Danhausen WWE WrestleMania 42 segment all came together.

The in-ring skit saw The Miz and Kit Wilson interrupt Cena’s WrestleMania attendance announcement, before they were in turn interrupted by Danhausen.

Danhausen was accompanied for his entrance by a number of Mini Danhausens.

After Kit Wilson shoved one of the Mini Danhausens, the rest of them attacked Kit Wilson while Danhausen landed his own You Are Cursed version of the Five Knuckle Shuffle on Miz and the mini Danhausens carried Miz away, before Danhausen and Cena celebrated together.

In an interview with Rewind Recap Relive, Richard Fitzwell of MicroMania Midget Wrestling – one of the Mini Danhausens – spoke about how the whole segment came together after they were only supposed to have a simpler role.

He explained:

“It was phenomenal. It was supposed to be something simple, just walk out with him down the ramp and it evolved into something bigger.

“We had The Miz come to our dressing room, he asked us if we could pick him up. He started that. Backstage, we lifted him up and he said, ‘Alright, I’m gonna go to production and see if we can add it to the skit.’

“Then we went to rehearsal, John Cena was sidestage, Danhausen asked John Cena to be part of the production.

“Then they asked if we would come into the ring and then one of the gentlemen gets pushed, and then one of our other guys punched Kit in the lower area, then we pummel him. Then, again, we go to Miz and carry him out.

“So that was all built out, evolved, like I said – it was simple and then it evolved into something big. And to have John Cena out there, plus The Miz, and Danhausen, that’s like a dream come true.

“And then after the fact, John Cena and Triple H came to us and said, ‘What a great job and we would love to have you back in the future.'”

After Mania, Cena took to social media to state that it was one of his favorite WWE WrestleMania moments.

He spoke throughout the weekend about how he was happy to be in a more relaxed hosting role as opposed to the pressure and stress of being in the WWE WrestleMania main event and the success of the show essentially depending on him, as has been the case in the past.

Danhausen & John Cena Segment Rightfully Had A Place On WrestleMania

There were some complaints on social media about the fact this segment took place while others on the roster like Carmelo Hayes, Ilja Dragunov, IYO SKY and Asuka had no match for WrestleMania.

Ultimately, there’s no reason for it to be a choice between the two – yes, IYO SKY vs Asuka especially should have had a spot on the card, but that does not mean this segment shouldn’t have been.

Stuff like this always has and always will have a place on shows like WrestleMania and it was a great moment for all involved.
