Danhausen Triumphs in WWE SmackDown Debut on April 10

On April 10, Danhausen made his WWE SmackDown debut and left the ring with a victory. The win came after a chaotic finish and run-in at ringside.

Build-up to the match

The Miz and Kit Wilson had protested a referee’s missed pinfall earlier in the night. They claimed Dan Engler failed to count a fall during their WWE Tag Team Title match against R-Truth and Damian Priest.

Kit demanded consequences. General manager Nick Aldis responded by booking a singles bout between Kit Wilson and Danhausen.

In-ring action and finish

The contest was competitive through most of the exchange. Near the end, Kit climbed to the top rope while Danhausen lay on the mat.

A pyro malfunction erupted behind Kit. The mishap sent Kit into the top turnbuckle and left him vulnerable.

The Miz reacted angrily at ringside. Danhausen used an eye poke to neutralize the distraction and then delivered a kick to Kit’s face for the pin.

Danhausen triumphed in his first televised outing. The victory completed his WWE SmackDown debut on April 10.

Aftermath and coverage

The Miz remained irate after the loss, setting up possible follow-up angles. Fans cheered the unexpected finishing sequence.

Filmogaz.com ran live coverage of the episode. A highlights stream and post-show review are also available online.

Expect the promotion to address the referee controversy and the pyro malfunction in coming shows. Danhausen’s win could lead to new rivalries and television opportunities.
