Things are once again about to become “Very Nice, Very Evil” in All Elite Wrestling, as a vignette teasing the return of Danhausen aired on this week’s episode of AEW Rampage.
Danhausen hasn’t been featured on AEW television since suffering a torn pectoral muscle at the Revolution pay-per-view event.
You can check out a video of the vignette below:

“In ‘Country Hearts’, the daughters of country music and rock & roll royalty find themselves at a crossroads, torn between following their dreams of performing or helping their father run their up-and-coming horse breeding business.

Tonight’s AEW Rampage on TNT.
Sammy Guevara was initially penciled in to be Konosuke Takeshita’s partner against Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega on last night’s episode of “AEW Dynamite” in Stockton, California. However, Guevara was not medically cleared to perform, so Kyle Fletcher took his place.
According to veteran wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, who was speaking on the “Wrestling Observer Radio” show, Guevara suffered a concussion on Sunday night at the inaugural AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view. Meltzer was unsure how much time Guevara would miss as a result of his injury.
Guevara, who turned on Jericho after suffering a loss against the former AEW World Champion at the third annual “AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam” special on September 20, pinned his former buddy in a trios match at WrestleDream moments after “The Ocho” was struck with a baseball bat by Don Callis. Guevara was teaming up with his new Don Callis Family associates Takeshita and reigning IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion Will Ospreay against Jericho, Omega, and Kota Ibushi.
On last night’s episode of “Dynamite,” Callis announced that Guevara was not medically cleared to perform in his scheduled tag team match. He then introduced Fletcher as Takeshita’s partner, with the pair going on to suffer a loss at the hands of Jericho and Omega. After that tag team bout, Callis distracted Jericho and Omega on the stage while Powerhouse Hobbs entered the ring and attacked both men.

Tonight’s AEW Dynamite is the four-year anniversary special of the show and the fallout from this past Sunday’s WrestleDream pay-per-view.
Tonight’s Dynamite will air live on TBS from the Stockton Arena in Stockton, California.
Shockwaves were sent across the wrestling landscape this past Sunday evening when Adam Copeland made his long-rumored jump to AEW, appearing at the close of AEW WrestleDream to confront TNT Champion and long-time tag partner/rival Christian Cage. And while Copeland’s future is now well known, with appearances on this week and next week’s “AEW Dynamite” already scheduled, some details regarding how he arrived in AEW have remained a mystery.
In an interview with “CBS Sports,” Copeland clarified some of the confusion, including confirming when exactly his contract with WWE expired last month. He also confirmed that he didn’t begin contract talks with AEW until that time.
“It wasn’t until my contract was up on [September 21],” Copeland said. “So it was really, really quick to get everything done and get everything dialed in. Figuring out so many things like getting with Alter Bridge and getting the music and doing all of those things. There were nine or 10 days.”
While talks with AEW came and went rather quickly, Copeland admitted he was already eyeing the promotion. He was also encouraged to seriously consider AEW by his own personal feelings, his desire to work with Cage (real name Jay Reso), and his wife, WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix.
“I didn’t know immediately, but I thought that’s where I wanted to go,” Copeland said. “I really thought that working with Jay again was what I wanted to do and how I pictured it in a perfect world. Beth said ‘What’s your perfect world? ‘I was like, ‘My perfect world is that I end my career with Jay.’ So suddenly that perfect world looked like it could be there. It’s tough to pass that up.”

Edge may be a distant memory, but Adam Copeland is here to stay. The WWE Hall of Famer burst onto the scene in AEW in a big way this past Sunday at WrestleDream, and he looks to be a consistent presence for the promotion going forward, with an appearance this Wednesday on “AEW Dynamite” and his first match in AEW, against Luchasaurus, scheduled for next week’s “Title Tuesday” edition of AEW’s marquee show. “The Rated-R Superstar” revealed in an interview with “CBS Sports” that he wants to make the most of working for his new promotion, mostly because he believes this will be his last major run in wrestling.
“I think that’s a very safe thing to say because I know how much work it’s going to take to be able to pull it off,” Copeland said. “I know that. I’m not in any way trying to fool myself into thinking I’m just going to trot through this whole thing. It’s going to be hard. It’s going to be a lot of hard work. I enjoy hard work. I always have. It’s how I’m wired. It’s what I was born with. It’s in my DNA. So that’s super fun. But I’m also a realist and I understand that I’m not going to be able to maintain it for a super long time.”
If this is his last run, Copeland’s fans came take comfort in the fact that he plans on being producing a decent amount of wrestling, as AEW owner Tony Khan has revealed that the former WWE Champion will be featured often on both “Dynamite” and “Collision.” And Copeland is ready to give it his all for this last stand of his career, for however long he is able to hold up as a performer.
“I want to try and maximize what I still have left,” Copeland said. “If that’s one year, if that’s two years, I want to do it as much as I can while I still feel like I can. I know that’s going to be hard and I know that’s going to take a lot of work physically. I know there’s a different fallout now, but I know all of those things and I really just want to weigh the glory of this thing as much as I can.”

When former WWE star Adam Copeland (previously known as Edge) made his AEW debut on Sunday night, he did so with a familiar entrance theme — “Metalingus,” a song by the band Alterbridge. The brief opening cue to Edge’s music, which predates the use of the song itself, used to be the voice of a woman saying the line, “You think you know me.” While that was recorded and owned by WWE, there was nothing stopping Copeland from recording a new version of the intro, and according to journalist Chris Mueller, Copeland has confirmed fan suspicion that he and his wife, WWE star Beth Phoenix, recorded the new intro themselves.
Rather than copy the original intro exactly, the new introduction includes a slight variation, with the phrasing changed to, “You think you know him.” Some AEW viewers with keen ears were able to detect Phoenix’s voice before the news was confirmed. While it seems that Phoenix won’t be joining her husband physically in AEW for the time being, she will at least have a presence in his onscreen presentation each time he comes out to the ring.
During the media scrum that followed AEW WrestleDream on Sunday, Copeland discussed his reasons for leaving WWE and heading to AEW, stating that he had simply grown apart from the company and wasn’t interested in what they had planned for him creatively. The former WWE Champion also detailed his experience going out to film his intro vignette with Darby Allin a few nights prior, stating that they traveled through some questionable parts of Seattle and, at points, had people hanging out of vehicle windows to capture shots.

During Sunday night’s AEW WrestleDream 2023 pay-per-view event, Christian Cage defeated Darby Allin in a two out of three falls match to retain the TNT Championship in the main event of the show.
A heel turn from Nick Wayne allowed Cage to bury Allin and hold onto his title.
Following the match, Cage and Wayne mercilessly assaulted Allin which caused Sting to come out for the save.
However, the addition of Luchasaurus to the equation meant that the numbers game eventually took over and Sting met the same fate as Allin.
Cage went for a couple of chairs to deliver a ConChairTo, which led to a vignette of a car driving to the Climate Pledge Arena.
Edge stepped out of the vehicle and made his way into the ring with his classic Alter Bridge “Metalingus” theme buzzing the arena.
Edge stared off with Christian and held his hand out. The heel TNT Champion handed him the chair and asked him to deliver the ConChairTo.
Using the steel weapon and his signature spear, Edge laid out Wayne and Luchasaurus in the middle of the ring. Cage bailed out in fear and shock.
The announcers then referred to the WWE Hall of Famer by his real name, Adam Copeland. Taz also referenced him as “The Rated R Superstar.”
AEW President Tony Khan then announced on Twitter that Copeland is #AllElite.
