Cody Rhodes has declared Danhausen the king of the merch game in WWE, saying the Very Nice, Very Evil character has overtaken everyone — including the Undisputed WWE Champion himself.
Speaking on ESPN’s Highlights with Omar, Rhodes gave a candid and enthusiastic assessment.
“I think it’s safe to say Danhausen is one of the most popular people in all of WWE at the moment, and I don’t see it stopping. He overtook the merch game. There is all kind of market confusion because the WWE Shop website has a thing that people actually believe, but I’ll tell you who is the king right now in the merch game — it is Danhausen. He’s beating us all.”
Rhodes added he and Danhausen have crossed paths backstage. “We do a stack of them and he has a stack next to my stack. We’ve had a couple of moments sitting next to each other.”
Danhausen debuted in WWE at Elimination Chamber in February and has been one of SmackDown’s most talked-about additions since.
