Commentary recaps our opening match and Brock Lesnar’s seeming retirement afterwards.
John Cena is in the ring again.
He again announces the attendance, with night two clocking in at 55,255 in the arena, and the overall attendance 106,072 for both nights.
He says that concludes his duties as host–
Enter The Miz and Kit Wilson.
Miz berates Cena for leaving and forcing him to step up and says he’s not leaving until he gets his WrestleMania moment. John says it’s good to see him and shakes his hand and he doesn’t know who Kit is but shakes his hand too. Cena says if he wants a WrestleMania moment, fine, he’s got it.
Miz tells Vegas to buckle up–
Danhausen is here, heralded by a team of Mini Danhausens! He drives a coffin-shaped carhausen to the stage and down the ramp, the Mini Danhausens in tow! They all get in the ring, surrounding Miz, Wilson, and Cena!
Danhausen grabs the mic and thanks Camera Boy Nicholas for it before speaking, greeting the humans in the crowd and introducing himself, very nice, very evil, and saying he’s finally made it to WrestleManiaHausen.
Speaking of which, he’s got something to say to John. He excuses himself past some Mini Danhausens and introduces himself as a huge fanhausen who loves everything Cena does, shaking his hand. Miz says if he wanted to see Wizard of Oz he’d have gone down the street and passes to Kitty, who calls them toxic and shoves one of the Minis down.
Danhausen tells one of his Minis to get him and the dude just punches Wilson in the crotch! The rest of the Mini Danhausens attack Miz, he shrugs them off and full-size Danhausen punches the A-Lister in the grown! With Cena’s approval, Danhausen does the “You can’t see me!” and a “You are cursed!” Five Knuckle Shuffle and the Mini Danhausens cart the Miz off.
A smokebomb goes off and Danhausen is… still in the ring. He runs away and crawls under the ring and John Cena breaks with genuine amusement.
Cena tells us retired lift is awesome and WrestleMania is unexpected, and also the Grandest Stage of Them All, and next up is the main event!
