One AEW star is grateful to top stars including CM Punk.
The very nice, very evil Danhausen has plenty of fans across the world, but despite his popularity, the star hasn’t been seen in AEW since Worlds End in 2023. However, Danhausen remains under contract to AEW, and speaking about a backstage visit in a new interview on Buff Bagwell’s YouTube channel, the star revealed some names that had a hand in him being hired by the company in January of 2022.
“I showed up to say hello to people. to their credit, Cody Rhodes said, ‘Are you doing something tonight?’ I said, ‘No, my leg is broken.’ He said, ‘I’ll make sure you’re doing sure you’re doing something tonight.’ So, Cody, I think, had a little bit to do with helping me get a job there. I believe Pepsi Phil [CM Punk] had something to help with that. I believe Chris Judas [Chris Jericho] had something to help with that because I did his cruise. Orange Cassidy, I believe helped.” (h/t Fightful)

CM Punk Hilariously Claimed Danhausen Has No Nipples
In May of 2023, Punk’s Instagram stories showed a conversation with Rancid frontman Lars Frederiksen that took a jab at his ongoing problems with AEW as well as a hilarious claim about the very nice, very evil one.
Frederiksen: Hey Phil, how you doing?
Punk: Hey, Lars. Good to see you.
Frederiksen: I just wanted to know if you can confirm a rumor from me. I heard that Danhausen is actually the illegitimate son of Haystacks Calhoun. I mean, if you look at the body shapes…
Punk: False, it’s actually false. He is a really fat, disgusting son of a bitch. But he’s actually the descendant of Happy Humphrey. And a little-known fact about Danhausen is he has no nipples.
Frederiksen: Not spooky. Having no nipples is not very spooky. How do you curse somebody when you don’t have any nipples?
Punk: I don’t know, what a loser.
Frederiksen: Total loser. It’s very nice to see you, Phil. Don’t f**king airball me!
Punk: Good to see you, pal!
Frederiksen: F**k you, Phil!
Punk: Very good to see you!
Frederiksen: You’re a cancer! (h/t WrestleZone)
