Career change

All Elite Wrestling change

On January 26, 2022, Danhausen would make his surprise debut with All Elite Wrestling (AEW) at Beach Break. He debuted during the Lights Out match between Adam Cole and Orange Cassidy. Cole would end up pulling out a table out from under the ring that had Danhausen on it. AEW owner Tony Khan announced later in the night that Danhausen had signed an official contract to become a member of the AEW roster.[1]

Danhausen would then try and fail to curse Hook. On the May 6 episode of Rampage, he would try and get Hook to team with him against Tony Nese. Hook would refuse and Danhausen would try and befriend Hook by giving him a bag of chips. Hook would take the chips and leave.[2] On the May 11 episode of Dynamite, Danhausen would make his AEW in-ring debut. He would lose in 32 seconds after an outside distraction from "Smart" Mark Sterling. After the match, Nese would beatdown Danhausen and Hook would run-in to make the save before shaking hands with Danhausen.[3] At the Buy In for Double or Nothing, Hookhausen (Danhausen and Hook) would team up and they would defeat the team of Tony Nese and "Smart" Mark Sterling. This game Danhausen his first victory in AEW.[4]

At Fight for the Fallen, Danhausen would challenge Ricky Starks for the FTW Championship but would lose.[5] Danhausen would then compete in a Grand Slam Golden Ticket Battle Royal to determine who would become the number one contender for the AEW World Championship. The match would eventually be won by "Hangman" Adam Page.[6] Danhausen would then decide to join the Best Friends stable.

On March 5, 2023 at Revolution, Danhausen would team with Orange Cassidy and they would compete in a four-way tag team match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. The match would be won by The Gunns (Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn).[7]
