WWE announced a singles match between Danhausen and Dominik Mysterio for SummerSlam 2026 during Monday's episode of Raw. The matchup will take place on August 1 and 2 at the two night event in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The announcement came after a series of segments involving Danhausen and members of Judgment Day. On the previous Saturday Night's Main Event, Danhausen defeated JD McDonagh in a no disqualification match. New York Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns appeared during the bout and assisted Danhausen in securing the victory.
On Raw, JD McDonagh, Dominik Mysterio, and Women's World Champion Liv Morgan confronted Danhausen. They demanded the return of money they had paid him earlier for a curse on Oba Femi. Danhausen had not completed the requested curse as agreed. During the exchange, Danhausen presented a briefcase containing fake money. McDonagh threw the briefcase, which struck Oba Femi backstage and led to a separate match.
Danhausen also became involved in a later match between Joe Hendry and Dominik Mysterio. He arrived with IYO SKY to counter Liv Morgan after she slapped him. Following these events, commentary revealed the SummerSlam match graphic for Danhausen against Mysterio.
The feud between Danhausen and Judgment Day has developed over several weeks. It centers on the unpaid or disputed curse arrangement and related confrontations. Danhausen has used his unique presentation style in multiple backstage and in ring segments. Mysterio, as AAA Mega Champion and a key member of Judgment Day, has been central to the ongoing storylines.
The match adds to the SummerSlam card. It connects the ongoing rivalry between Danhausen and the group led by McDonagh and Mysterio. Further details on the specific night of the two night event were not immediately provided.
