Since making his WWE debut at the 2026 Elimination Chamber event, the kooky character Danhausen has taken the WWE Universe by storm with his "You are cursed!" catchphrase and unique persona. On Monday's episode of RAW on Netflix, Danhausen continued to endear himself to fans by celebrating March 16th, also known as "3:16 Day", in honor of WWE legend Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Why it matters

Danhausen's rise in popularity represents a shift back towards the more eccentric and character-driven wrestlers that were prevalent in the 80s and 90s WWF/WWE. His success also shows that fans are craving more lighthearted and comedic personalities in the modern wrestling landscape.

The details

During the RAW broadcast, Danhausen greeted the audience in his signature style, yucking it up with the crowd and shooting t-shirts into the stands using a machine he called the "Cannon-Hausen". When addressing the crowd, Danhausen made sure to note that it was March 16th, combining his "You are cursed!" catchphrase with Stone Cold's iconic "Austin 3:16" line by saying "Danhausen 3:16 says I just cursed your a--!"
