Danhausen Wins WWE In-Ring Debut on SmackDown After Pyro Mishap

WWE is using the debut to launch an 'undefeated' persona tied to his tongue-in-cheek curse.

Overview

  • Danhausen, who wrestled his first WWE match Friday on SmackDown, defeated Kit Wilson.
  • A ringside pyrotechnic malfunction fired as Wilson climbed the top rope, which caused him to tumble onto the turnbuckle.
  • Danhausen followed with an eye poke and a kick to the face to score the pin.
  • General manager Nick Aldis booked the singles match after The Miz and Wilson complained that referee Dan Engler missed their tag-title pin the prior week following Danhausen’s playful curse bit.
  • WWE promoted the result as “Undefeatedhausen,” and Danhausen echoed the messaging on social media while joking about the pyro “mishaps.”
