Danhausen may be on his way out of AEW, and according to a new report, WWE is already keeping a close eye on his next move.
Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select reports that sources within WWE believe the popularand bizarrewrestler would thrive in an NXT setting if he becomes a free agent in the coming months. This follows recent reporting from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, who noted that Danhausens AEW contract is set to expire around February 2026.
While Danhausen hasnt appeared on AEW television at all in 2025, hes remained active on the independent scene. Sources also noted that Danhausen requested AEW not add injury time to extend his deal when it was originally set to expire this past summer.
No official comment has been made by Danhausen or AEW, but the timing suggests a decision will come soon. WWEs interest could open the door for a new chapter in the career of one of wrestlings most unique characters.
Danhausens comedic timing, quirky personality, and devoted fanbase could make him a natural fit for WWE NXT, especially given the brands history of embracing eccentric, character-driven talent.
