Danhausen's WWE RAW segment sparks criticism ahead of SummerSlam

Former WWE commentator Jonathan Coachman called the concert segment featuring Danhausen and Joe Hendry on the final RAW before SummerSlam the "worst segment" he has ever seen. He said the inclusion of boxer Ryan Garcia and the stable The Judgment Day harmed the performance and expressed sympathy for Dominik Mysterio, who will face Danhausen at SummerSlam in a "Human Money on a Pole" match.

Meanwhile, former AEW star Matt Cardona praised Danhausen in an interview, saying he always knew the Detroit‑born wrestler would become a WWE star despite a rough debut at Elimination Chamber 2026. Cardona highlighted Danhausen’s growing merchandise sales and his upcoming showdown with Dominik Mysterio at SummerSlam.
