Danhausen’s WWE WrestleMania 42 debut weekend was not just a hit with fans in the arena. It was a hit with Fanatics as well.
According to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, Fanatics was blown away by the reception and revenue generated by Danhausen during WrestleMania 42 weekend. Demand for his merchandise was so high that several restocks were required over the course of the weekend to keep up.
As a result of the popularity and demand he generated, Danhausen is also expected to be added to the Fanatics Fest lineup in the near future. Fanatics Fest is scheduled to return to the Javits Center in New York City from July 16 to 19, 2026.
Danhausen made his WWE debut at Elimination Chamber in Chicago earlier this year before appearing at WrestleMania 42 in a segment on night two. His debut crate and coffin were on display at WWE World throughout the weekend alongside a meet-and-greet booth and face painting area. A Goodyear Blimp was also associated with his character over the weekend. The merchandise numbers coming out of the event suggest the investment WWE has made in the Very Nice, Very Evil one is already generating significant returns.
“I’ve only been here for about two months, and look at the impact Danhausen’s made,” he told Fox News Digital before WrestleMania Night 1. “He’s got a merchandise stand at WrestleMania. He’s going to be at WrestleMania. And his face is on everything. Gotta get it on the side of the truck still.
