Danhausen Named As WWE's #2 Merch Seller Since Elimination Chamber Debut

Danhausen has proven to be a popular addition to WWE since his signing in February 2026 and that is reflected in the former AEW talent's merchandise numbers.

PWInsider has reported that WWE President Nick Khan and WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque praised Danhausen at a WWE town hall meeting on Tuesday, May 19. After showing clips of Danhausen, Khan and Triple H revealed the wrestler has been WWE's number two merchandise seller since his debut at Elimination Chamber. Three of Danhausen's t-shirts are currently in the top five of the organisation's best-selling t-shirts, and there was also praise from the WWE executives over the crossover appeal of Danhausen uncursing the New York Knicks.

Who WWE's top merch seller is was not revealed, but Danhausen was the third-highest merch seller at Allegiant Stadium for WrestleMania 42, with CM Punk at number one followed by Cody Rhodes at number two.

Danhausen's initial debut at Elimination Chamber 2026 was considered a disaster to the point it drew comparisons with The Gobbledy Gooker, but he has quickly recovered and become one of WWE's most popular wrestlers.

This saw Danhausen wrestle his first WWE pay-per-view match as he and a Minihausen clone (El Torito) defeated The Miz and Kit Wilson.
