Danhausen is popular-hausen. Not even two weeks since his WWE debut at the Elimination Chamber PLE in Chicago, and many are already invested in seeing what the “Very Nice, Very Evil” mastermind has up his sleeve. Hoping to not be on the receiving end of Danhausen’s “curses,” Booker T believes a character like his can be showcased well on both the main roster and potentially elsewhere, including one of WWE’s recent acquisitions.

“He could be used on AAA shows,” the two-time WWE Hall of Famer said on his podcast. “They got a lot of gimmicks over there…so he’ll fit right in, you know, in the AAA mode. How far is he going to go on the main roster, you know? Who you gonna match him up with…What are we really trying to get out of the Danhausen character? It definitely could become a merchandising machine…if marketed right.”

Already, stars on the main roster are feeling the magnetic pull of Danhausen. Speaking of AAA, the current Mega Champion “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio was recently cursed by the demon-possessed star, which cost him his WWE Men’s Intercontinental Championship, and flourished Penta’s career in the company with his first championship victory. Now, The Miz might be next in Danhausen’s cursed clutches if he doesn’t help the newcomer obtain his requests.

UFC inducted its first women’s fight into the Hall of Fame over the weekend. 

During UFC 326, a package played to announce the induction of Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Zhang Weili’s fight at UFC 248 into its Hall of Fame ‘Fight Wing.’ It marks the first time a women’s fight has received the honor.

The fight served as the co-main event of Israel Adesanya vs. Yoel Romero, taking place on March 7, 2020, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Zhang was entering as Strawweight Champion on a 20-fight win streak, having beaten Jessica Andrade to become the first Chinese UFC Champion. 

Jedrzejczyk entered the bout as the challenger with wins over Andrade and Carla Esparza, and although she did not win and take the title on the night, she certainly earned the respect of everyone after going the distance despite severe hematoma swelling. 

Zhang was declared winner by split decision after 25 minutes, and after their fight won several awards a rematch was booked for UFC 275 on June 12, 2022. Zhang removed any doubt from her initial victory with a KO win in the second round. 

The UFC Hall of Fame induction ceremony is slated to take place over the summer. 

Last month, former WWE Director Kerwin Silfies sadly passed away at the age of 75. Known for playing a key role in WWE’s programming for over 35 years, Silfies directed many of the company’s weekly episodes, Premium Live Events, and crucially some of the first editions of WrestleMania. Having worked in a backstage role, many fans were unware of Silfies’ contributions to the the promotion, but in a recent episode of “Grilling JR,” WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross provided insight on the former Director’s impact on the wrestling business and his career.

“Very hardworking, very skilled. He was a big asset for me, me going there and being new and coming from the enemy, so to speak. But Kerwin was always very polite, very nice. We had a lot of fun having a cocktail here, there, and yon, but I had a good rapport with Kerwin, and he’s going to be missed.” 

Ross continued to explain that he wishes he could’ve spent more time with Silfies, as he fell out of touch with him over the years, but claims that he absolutely deserves to be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame.

“I just think it’s a no-brainer. I think that he’s earned his way into the Hall Of Fame, and looking at the Hall Of Fame list, some names you’ll see on there that kind of surprise you. But Kerwin’s name on there, it wouldn’t surprise me or anybody that’s been around very long. He deserves every accolade that he can be bestowed upon.”

With most of the WrestleMania 42 card seemingly in flux, many have been left wondering what will be the fate of several wrestlers when it comes to the “Showcase of the Immortals.” Among the most popular wrestlers fans are speculatin about is LA Knight, who has no clear direction after coming up short in the Men’s Elimination Chamber and having issues with The Vision over the last several months.

In an appearance on “The Coach’s Corner,” Knight was asked if he could give any details regarding his WrestleMania plans. He revealed there was no reason to worry about any details, because Knight himself is currently unaware of what he’ll be doing at WrestleMania himself.

“I know about as much as you do,” Knight said. “And people find that hard to believe, but in all honesty, that’s just wrestling. You know, when I came up in wrestling, I’d say most of the times I was going to a show, I’d never even met my opponent before. So I’m meeting him 2 or 3 hours before showtime before we, you know, learn anything. With that being the case, I don’t know a lot. I’d like to know more. 

“But all I know is its going to be, of course, as it always is, it’s going to be a gigantic week. It’s going to be a gigantic success. You’re talking about people coming from all corners of the world to Las Vegas for, you know, essentially what’s our big bash, our kind of send off party for the year, where things come to an end and things kind of start blooming into the new. I’m just looking forward to that whole environment, and what that turns into in that whole week and weekend.”

Since Oba Femi was called up to the main roster at the beginning of the year, the opponent that fans have been itching to see him stand toe-to-toe with is none other than seven-time WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar. In December, it was reported that “The Beast” plans on retiring this year, and during a recent interview with “TVInsider,” Femi hinted at the idea of being the one to end Lesnar’s career.

“What a run for him. He had two separate runs, and they’ve both been fantastic. It would be really cool to face him. I know the fans have been asking for that match. It’s going to happen one day soon. What a run he has had the UFC champion, multiple time WWE champion, Royal Rumble winner, dominance. What a way to cap it off by facing “The Ruler.”‘

Last month, Paul Heyman announced that Lesnar will be holding an open challenge at WrestleMania 42, and Femi has been one of the rumored opponents to answer the call. In the weeks leading up to WrestleMania, Lesnar is scheduled to appear on several episodes of “WWE Raw” where he’ll be waiting for anyone brave enough in the locker room to step inside the ring with him. 

Additionally, it remains to be seen if Femi will be Lesnar’s final opponent, as this year’s SummerSlam will take place in the former UFC Champion’s hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota, the speculated location for his retirement. Lesnar’s most recent match in the Men’s Royal Rumble this past January, where he and Femi were face-to-face for the first time in history.
