Predicting Danhausen’s Overall Rating Score in WWE 2K26 DLC

by

Danhausen’s arrival initially puzzled some fans, as many primarily follow WWE. However, he quickly became popular. His unique humor, quirky personality, unusual speech, and distinctive face paint helped him connect with the audience, especially through his playful ‘curses’. He’s delivered some funny moments behind the scenes – like a segment with Dirty Dom where he appeared to cost Mysterio a championship – but these appearances don’t affect his rating in WWE 2K26.

Danhausen is entertaining on the independent wrestling scene, known for funny bits like his Tequila Dance. However, he doesn’t have the same level of in-ring skill as wrestlers like Kenny Omega or Bryan Danielson. His limited moves and smaller stature might be why he hasn’t wrestled for WWE yet, and it’s unclear if that will ever happen. He could potentially succeed as a tag team partner with an established wrestler, similar to how R-Truth works, or like his successful pairing with Hook in AEW. As of now, there’s no real indication of what direction he’s headed, leaving the creators of WWE 2K26 with two choices for his rating: a realistic one, or a playful, comedic one.

A Realistic Rating for Danhausen in WWE 2K26

To keep Danhausen from being overly powerful in the game, Visual Concepts should likely rate him in the low to mid-70s. This would place him among other wrestlers known for their comedic style and who typically appear in lower-level matches, like…

  • Akira Tozawa (68)
  • Grayson Waller (73)
  • Doink the Clown (74)
  • The Boogeyman (74)
  • The Hurricane (75)
  • R-Truth (80)
  • Joe Hendry (80)

It makes sense for Danhausen to start with a rating around 77, as he’s a newer performer who hasn’t had as much time to prove himself compared to established stars like Joe Hendry or R-Truth. Giving him a rating higher than wrestlers who compete regularly wouldn’t feel right, but a very low score could unfairly hold back someone just starting out. A middle-of-the-road rating seems like the best option for Danhausen, although the creators of WWE 2K26 could take a chance and give him a more unique score.

CM Punk and Danhausen are known for their humorous online interactions, and a new opportunity for comedy could arise from the video game. Danhausen could jokingly claim a higher rating than CM Punk, as the game currently rates Retro CM Punk at 74, while the current version of CM Punk is rated much higher at 94 – giving Danhausen a playful claim to being ‘better’.

A Humorous Danhausen Rating Could Make Him a 99 Overall

Super John Cena’s perfect 100 rating in WWE 2K25 was unique, but a 99 rating is also uncommon. Roman Reigns earned this in WWE 2K23 during the height of his storyline, but no wrestlers have reached 99 in WWE 2K26 so far. The game developers could create some excitement by giving Danhausen a 99 rating, playing on his character’s supposed mystical ability to curse opponents. It would be a fun twist to have a comedic wrestler be the game’s top-rated superstar, and it would enhance the mystique surrounding Danhausen, especially since he hasn’t wrestled yet but is still considered the strongest through the game’s official rankings.

It’s unclear how WWE 2K26 will represent Danhausen, including his in-game moves. Visual Concepts could draw from his independent wrestling matches, create new moves, or simply have him perform his signature curse. His overall rating is also a question mark, but he’ll likely be somewhere in the 70s. However, to really capture the fun and unpredictable nature of Danhausen, the game could give him a surprisingly high rating, making him a memorable addition to the game.
