Before the Men\u2019s Elimination Chamber match in Chicago, Illinois, at WWE Elimination Chamber 2026<\/a><\/span>, a new talent debuted. Raw and SmackDown General Managers Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis pried open a massive crate. After a month of the crate bouncing back and forth between Raw and SmackDown events, it was clear that neither brand wanted this. But once they opened the mysterious crate, fans were treated to an image of a wooden coffin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Out of this box burst several dancing women in face paint as former AEW talent Danhausen creeped his way to the ring<\/a><\/span>. After leaving a jar of teeth by Michael Cole, Danhausen posed in the ring and disappeared in a puff of smoke and a chorus of boos.<\/span><\/p>\n
