It looks like Danhausen will be dropping his comedy character for a more serious gimmick.
Danhausen signed with AEW in January and made his promotional debut during the Lights Out match between Orange Cassidy and Adam Cole. As Cole attempted to grab a chair from under the ring, Danhausen held onto the chair to stop Cole from using it.
He recently shared a photo on Twitter that looks darker and wrote the following in the caption:
“Say the word and I will tear the flesh from those who harm you. #AEWFullGear.”
For several weeks on Twitter, Danhausen has been teasing a potential heel turn, including with this recent photo:

During Friday’s Rampage, there was a backstage segment with the Factory and The Best Friends as Rene Paquette interviewed them.
Orange Cassidy’s faction challenged QT Marshall and his team to a five vs. five match. QT mentioned that they do not have enough members, which led to Trent asking them to watch a video on the television screen while The Best Friends and Paquette left. The video featured Danhausen, who showed a different side of himself.
