Danhausen Set To Face Dominik Mysterio At SummerSlam

WWE has made it official: Danhausen and Dominik Mysterio will settle their score in a singles match at SummerSlam. The bout was confirmed on commentary during this week’s episode of Raw, capping off weeks of back-and-forth confrontations between the two.

The rivalry has built steadily over recent weeks, with Danhausen and Dominik trading verbal jabs and physical altercations that finally forced WWE’s hand in booking a proper one-on-one showdown on the promotion’s biggest summer stage. Danhausen, known for his cult following and offbeat, horror-tinged persona, has become one of the more unique presences on WWE programming since signing with the company, and a high-profile SummerSlam match against a well-established heel like Dominik represents a significant opportunity for him.

Dominik, for his part, has spent the past several years building one of the most effective heel runs in the company, drawing heat from crowds across the world alongside his Judgment Day and Latino World Order ties. Adding Danhausen to his list of opponents gives him another chance to play the hated antagonist against a character built for a big babyface pop.

No stipulation has been announced for the match, and WWE has yet to reveal further details on how the bout fits into the rest of the SummerSlam card. More matches and segments are expected to be added as the show approaches.

Fans will find out how this one plays out when SummerSlam takes place this summer, but for now, the announcement gives the card another intriguing, curiosity-driven attraction alongside the promotion’s usual heavyweight championship matches.
