Just as I had decided I hate Danhausen’s feud with Judgment Day continuing after his victory over JD McDonagh at Saturday Night’s Main Event, of course, WWE would announce that he’s now set to face Dominik Mysterio at SummerSlam. It’s not that I dislike Danhausen whatsoever, and I don’t even mind most of Judgment Day too much, I’m just extremely tired of WWE dragging some of its feuds on and on.
It feels like Danhausen’s victory at SNME, complete with help from New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns, should have been the end of things. Getting a major name alongside Danhausen at Madison Square Garden really feels like the payoff for the entire feud. Judgment Day paid Danhausen to curse Oba Femi, but in the midst of Danhausen’s cursing and uncursing of the Knicks, that’s kind of a hard fact to remember. If I was Mysterio and McDonagh, I’d just assume that after Towns chokeslammed me to hell, through a table, in Mysterio’s case, I wasn’t getting my money back, even if it was completely unrelated to the Knicks.
But, nope, things continued with Judgment Day demanding their money back, and Danhausen giving them a case of fake money. That fake money led to McDonagh throwing the case backstage, hitting Oba Femi, leading to two matches, McDonagh and Femi, and Mysterio and Joe Hendry, who helped up Danhausen earlier in the night. The matches were fine, at least we got a bit more wrestling on the show, even if Femi squashed McDonagh.
Danhausen interfered in Hendry and Mysterio’s match, and brought out IYO SKY on the Danhausen mobile to face off against Morgan, which would have been cute if they had their own segment tonight ahead of SummerSlam, and now, we’re getting Mysterio and the “Very Nice, Very Evil” one at the “Biggest Party of the Summer.” I guess WWE couldn’t pivot fast enough for something more interesting for Danhausen between SNME and SummerSlam.
That’s just not a big money match that belongs on the SummerSlam card, one that’s thin of big matches as it is. I’m all for Danhausen getting goofy little spots and segments on big shows, like his spot at WrestleMania, but a match against Mysterio just isn’t interesting. I’m more curious about the “body” back in his lab, now that we know it’s not Big Cass or Baron Corbin. I guess that’s going to be yet another dropped WWE storyline we’ll forever ponder over, unless Danhausen and WWE creative pull out something crazy and that “body” rises to even the odds against Judgment Day on August 1 or 2.
