CM Punk on Danhausen: ‘I think his impact has yet to be felt’
CM Punk spoke about Danhausen in a recent interview.
The World Heavyweight Champion appeared on ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike on Friday and was asked about his friendship with Danhausen. Punk responded that Danhausen is perfect for WWE.
Punk said:
“I think his impact has yet to be felt. Man, he’s perfect for WWE. He is perfect for what we do. Sometimes you find a talent that has always kind of belonged here and you never really realized it.
He’s somebody who to me is a throwback. He’s a bit of a gimmick, but he’s so entertaining and you can put him in any single situation and it’s more about how other people react or don’t react to him.
Hopefully, I said enough nice things about him he’s not going to curse me.”
Danhausen appeared in a scene that aired on SmackDown as The Miz and Maryse were renewing their wedding vows. The segment ended with Maryse going face-first into the cake.
Punk will headline night two of WrestleMania on Sunday. He is scheduled to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns on the show.
