Danhausen has established himself as one of the most popular talents on the WWE main roster since joining the company at Elimination Chamber: Chicago earlier this year.

He has come in for heavy praise from fans as well as industry veterans, and Paige and Stephanie McMahon are the latest to laud “Very Nice, Very Evil.” Paige appeared on What’s Your Story? With Steph McMahon this week.

During the conversation, Paige said that she’s glad WWE signed Danhausen, and Stephanie agreed. The two agreed that the face-painted spooky character has “crazy charisma,” and the English pro wrestler also noted that Danhausen can go in the ring as well.

Paige: “I love that you brought Danhausen here.”

Stephanie: “Oh my God! Yeah!”

Paige: “I’m glad that the fans came around really quickly.”

Stephanie: “I think they just didn’t know at first, or why we were doing it. And now it’s like, because he’s really good. And he’s got this crazy charisma… and then to see him work, he was pretty good.”

Paige: “He’s a great worker, too. So they’ll see eventually when he starts wrestling some more. But I love that the fans came around and they love him. He’s such a good dude. I love that guy.”

Danhausen Reacts to Praise From Stephanie McMahon & Paige

Danhausen was quick to acknowledge the kind words from Stephanie and Paige, as he took to social media yesterday to thank them. He wrote:

“Danhausen loves @StephMcMahon and @Saraya. Thank you for your very nice, very evil words. Let Danhausen know if you ever need anyone cursed!”

Danhausen’s merchandise was in huge demand during WrestleMania weekend, with Fanatics reportedly being “blown away” by the revenue he generated. He (and his Minihausens) also had a segment with John Cena, The Miz, and Kit Wilson at WrestleMania 42 Sunday.
