WWE may have found a new must-see comedy pairing. After a funny and well-timed segment on the April 3 SmackDown, fans are calling for R-Truth and Danhausen to form a tag team.
Why comedy matters in wrestling
Wrestling is sports entertainment. It can be dark and serious, but it can also be light and funny. Comedy wrestlers do not always reach the top of the card, but they are often the most entertaining. Fans laugh, they cheer, and they remember moments that make them smile.
Many past stars used humor well. Names like Goldust, Eugene, and Santino Marella come up often. R-Truth stands out for his timing and character work. He can seem clueless and lovable at the same time. That mix makes him a fan favorite.
The April 3 SmackDown moment
On the April 3 SmackDown, there was a tag match with Damian Priest and R-Truth facing The Miz and Kit Wilson. Danhausen walked to ringside and tried to curse The Miz. The referee stepped in front of him instead. Danhausen stood in the corner and reached toward R-Truth. R-Truth then made an illegal tag to bring Danhausen into the match.
Later, as the heels looked close to winning, the referee suddenly grabbed his hand in pain and could not finish the count. Fans in the arena loved the spot and praised the comedy online. Many called the sequence one of the best recent comedy moments on WWE television.
Danhausen’s rise and fit with WWE
Danhausen created his character in Ring of Honor and AEW. Injuries and creative changes slowed his run in AEW. He debuted in WWE in a mystery-crate reveal that some fans booed at first. Since then, he has slowly built a larger audience with backstage bits, merch moments, and funny live segments.
UFCcoverage reported that Danhausen now sells a huge number of T-shirts. His look and catchphrases have made him popular with casual fans and hardcore viewers alike. That popularity makes him a good partner for R-Truth, who is experienced at getting laughs and crowd reactions.
What could come next
Right now, R-Truth is a tag champion with Damian Priest. Priest is likely to return to singles work in time. Many fans want WWE to pair Truth and Danhausen after Priest moves on. The proposed duo — sometimes called “Truthausen” by fans online — would focus on comedy and fun TV moments.
They probably will not be world title contenders, but they could be a welcome change of pace. In a time when fans ask for something fresh, a well-timed comedy team could bring laughs and attention back to the tag division.
