An absent AEW star recently made a heartbreaking announcement that has drawn reactions from Chris Jericho, Natalya, and other wrestling stars. That star is Danhausen, who has been missing from All Elite Wrestling programming since the World’s End pay-per-view in 2023.
During his absence, it was revealed that there are no creative plans for him. However, his contract, which was originally set to expire in 2025, could potentially extend into 2026 if injury time is added.
Yesterday, the “Very Nice, Very Evil” star shared devastating news on Instagram: his grandfather had passed away. In his heartfelt post, Danhausen wrote, “Rest in peace Papa. You were the coolest grandpa. Go see your family whenever you can. Make time for them. I’m grateful and fortunate I was able to do this as often as possible.”
His tribute garnered responses from several top wrestling stars, including AEW’s Chris Jericho, WWE’s Natalya, and veterans such as Shane Helms (The Hurricane) and Matt Cardona. While Helms and Cardona left condolence messages in the comments, both Jericho and Natalya simply reacted with a like.
