After weeks of speculation WWE finally revealed who was inside the mystery crate at the Elimination Chamber premium live event on Saturday night. When the crate was finally opened it turned out to be Danhausen who was accompanied by a group of dancers. Danhausen and the dancers made their way to the ring for a brief moment then the lights went out and they disappeared.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer is reporting that people who were there and people in WWE noted that the crowd reactions being lower than expected was more than just a production issue. It’s also being reported that Danhausen’s debut was being compared to the Gobbledy Gooker internally.
“Before I ever said the Gobbledy Gooker line last night, it was being used quietly backstage. I think it was too much hype and people expecting a bigger star in the spot, as from an idea standpoint, they had clearly worked on the idea. Then again, Vince McMahon thought the Gobbledy Gooker would be a giant hit as well.”
According to PWInsider, Danhausen has officially signed with WWE, and he is expected to be at this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN.
Stay tuned for updates.
