The mystery surrounding the large crate on the entrance ramp was resolved following the World Heavyweight Championship match between CM Punk and Finn Balor at WWE Elimination Chamber.

After the title bout ended, Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis walked onto the stage and approached the massive crate that had remained in place throughout the night. The two authority figures opened it, revealing a coffin inside. When the coffin lid lifted, Danhausen emerged to a mixed reaction from the crowd.

Before Danhausen stepped out, several women dressed in similar face paint and attire appeared on the stage. As the reveal played out, a voice echoed through the arena’s sound system, declaring, “You are cursed.” The theatrical presentation leaned into Danhausen’s established persona, complete with eerie lighting and staged choreography.

Danhausen and the group accompanying him made their way to the ring. Once inside, he approached Michael Cole at the commentary desk and handed him a set of teeth, continuing the character-driven moment. Shortly after, the arena lights went out, adding to the spectacle. When the lights returned, the reaction inside the building shifted, with many fans booing as the segment concluded.

In a related development, Danhausen’s profile was removed from AEW’s official roster page earlier in the day. The timing of that change has drawn attention, given his appearance at Elimination Chamber.

The reveal closed the show’s post-match scene and provided clarity on the crate storyline that had been teased during the event.
