Note on Whether Danhausen Still Owns His Face-Painted Look After Joining WWE

Danhausen has become quite popular among fans since making his WWE debut at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event earlier this year. His horror-themed face-painted look and his comic timing make him stand apart from others.

Interestingly, last year, during an appearance on INSIGHT with Chris Van Vliet, Danhausen revealed that he has trademarked his look. With him signing with WWE earlier this year, a curious fan asked Sean Ross Sapp during Fightful Select’s latest Q&A session if the “Very Nice, Very Evil” wrestler still owns the copyright or if that now belongs to WWE.

Sapp said that once a wrestler signs with WWE, they sign over a lot of things. However, if a wrestler owns something before inking a deal with the company, they get it back in the event of them exiting the promotion. Sapp also added that wrestlers end up signing over several “surprising things” during their onboarding process.
