WWE newcomer Danhausen has identified The Undertaker as his preferred choice to induct him into the 2026 Hall of Fame. Upon his arrival in the company, Danhausen presented a list of “demandhausens,” which included an induction into this year’s class. Speaking on the Raw Recap podcast, he noted that The Undertaker’s “evil” persona makes him a suitable candidate for the role.
“Let’s see. I like The Undertaker. He looks pretty evil. I think The Undertaker would be great,” Danhausen stated. “He’s also been handing out these congratulatory congratulations to people that they’re in the Hall of Fame, so who better? Maybe I should find where he lives and knock on his door and say, ‘Hello! Induct me.’ Maybe he’ll knock on my door and just say, ‘I’m here to induct you.’ I don’t know.”
The Undertaker’s Role In The Class Of 2026
The Undertaker has served as the primary messenger for WWE’s 2026 Hall of Fame announcements. He personally delivered the induction news to Stephanie McMahon, AJ Styles, and the legendary tag team Demolition. For Demolition, The Undertaker informed Ax and Smash of their induction via a surprise video call, while he surprised AJ Styles with the news during a live episode of Monday Night Raw.
The 2026 ceremony is scheduled for Friday, April 17, at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas. The event will begin at 9 p.m. PT, approximately one hour after Friday Night SmackDown concludes at the adjacent T-Mobile Arena. Stephanie McMahon headlines the class, which also recognizes the 28-year career of the recently retired Styles and the historic 478-day title reign of Demolition.
Danhausen’s Roster Status and Future Plans
Since his debut at Elimination Chamber on February 28, Danhausen has appeared on both Raw and SmackDown. His presence has already influenced storylines, including a “cursing” of Dominik Mysterio that preceded the Judgment Day member’s Intercontinental Title loss.
As of today, WWE currently has no plans to officially announce Danhausen as a member of the 2026 Hall of Fame class. This is part of Danhausen’s storyline that he has certain demands, or he will curse people.
