MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - AUGUST 02: Danhausen enters U.S. Bank Stadium at SummerSlam. | (Photo by Cooper Neill/WWE via Getty Images) WWE returns to London, Ontario, for the first time in four years on Thursday as its 2026 Summer Tour comes to Canada Life Place. Three matches are advertised on the arena’s website: Undisputed WWE Championship: CM Punk (c) vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther United States Championship Fatal 4-Way: Baron Corbin (c) vs. Trick Williams vs. Carmelo Hayes vs. Finn Bálor Six-Star Tag Team Match: Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss & Tatum Paxley vs. Jade Cargill, Michin, & B-Fab Other superstars including LA Knight, Oba Femi, and Kevin Owens are also listed, as is Danhausen. Ah, yes. Danhausen. Throughout WWE’s live summer tour, The Miz has had several run-ins with Danhausen, resulting in losses to Oba Femi, Kevin Owens, and the comedy demon himself. A fixture on this season’s house show loop, Danhausen has appeared less frequently on WWE TV since defeating Dominik Mysterio at SummerSlam. Instead, he has shown up during commercial breaks to entertain the live crowd, as he did Monday in Buffalo, New York, and in social media skits. Danhausen’s reduced screen time comes amid concerns that his act is becoming overexposed, something Matt Hardy noted during his podcast. “You have to be careful not to overexpose him because people, if they get tired and they turn on him, then it’s a big loss,” Hardy said. Ontario, it seems, is in for the full Danhausen experience.
