Danhausen Gets Fresh AEW Merch Despite Nearly a Year Off TV

Danhausen may not have stepped foot on AEW television in almost a year, but the “very nice, very evil” star is still making waves—this time in the merch department. AEW Shop just dropped a brand-new shirt for the fan-favorite, even though he’s been absent from AEW programming since Worlds End in December 2023.

The official AEW Shop account announced the release with a tweet: “ARISE! Get this NEW @danhausenad shirt today at ShopAEW.com!”

The design, which you can check out below, is already generating buzz among fans eager for any news about the quirky wrestler. Despite his absence, Danhausen remains a top seller for AEW. Reports from Wrestlenomics in early 2023 noted that he ranked among the company’s best-selling merchandise stars, proving his appeal goes far beyond his in-ring appearances.

Danhausen’s AEW contract runs through summer 2025, but recent reports suggest there are no immediate creative plans for his return. While he’s spent much of 2024 focusing on the independent wrestling scene, it’s clear his popularity hasn’t faded with AEW’s loyal fanbase.

The release of this new shirt has left fans speculating about whether AEW is testing the waters for his eventual return or simply cashing in on his enduring popularity. Either way, Danhausen’s presence—whether on TV or in the merch game—continues to resonate with fans.
