The mystery partner turned out to be a clone.
Since the announcement of the tag team match between The Miz and Kit Wilson against Danhausen and a mystery partner. WWE fans have continued to speculate who might join the very nice, very evil star to take on the team of Wilson and Miz.
Despite his attempts to even clone himself, Danhausen failed to find an opponent until the PLE, when, after his entrance, the cloning seemed to be a success.
WWE Backlash 2026 is currently emanating live from the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida. Seth Rollins vs Bron Breakker kicked off the show, with Breakker picking up the win.
Minihausen was the mystery partner for Danhausen
Danhausen, after his entrance, walked up to the Cloning Machine to reveal a ‘Mini Danhausen’ who then climbed into the Danhausenmobile as they drove around the ring. Minihausen started the action against Kit Wilson.
The fan reaction to the reveal was pretty mid as they were trying to make sense of what was going on, with many hoping that the actual reveal might be saved for later. However, Minihausen impressed everyone and turned the crowd around.
Kit Wilson, irked by Minihausen, who chased him near the entrance ramp, put him back in the cloning machine. However, it backfired as multiple Minihausens appeared chasing Wilson back to the ring.
Minihausen then tried to curse Wilson, who turned it around with a mirror, and Miz almost secured the pin, until the very nice, very evil star saved the pin. Miz then tried to use the fire extinguisher, but it literally blew in his own face.
Minihausen then took Wilson out with a splash outside, while the very nice, very evil star pinned Miz to pick up the win in the tag team match.
