Danhausen didn’t waste any time finding a new calling after reports surfaced that Keir Starmer had stepped down as Prime Minister.

Monday Night RAW was held at London’s O2 Arena and featured several notable moments, but one of the most memorable came when Danhausen threw his name into the ring to replace Starmer at 10 Downing Street.

The fan-favourite made the joke after a segment involving Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh, and the crowd inside the O2 responded with a huge reaction.

Danhausen eyes up Downing Street

The segment began with Danhausen discussing his latest experiments after being confronted by Mysterio and McDonagh over money they had previously paid him.

Later, while addressing the crowd in London, Danhausen turned his attention to the apparent vacancy at 10 Downing Street.

“Danhausen heard there is a job opportunity opened at 10 Downing Street. How do we feel about Prime Minister Hausen?”

The comment immediately drew a loud reaction from fans inside the O2 Arena.

RAW crowd quickly got behind ‘Prime Minister Hausen’

The joke came after Danhausen explained that he had been unable to bring either his blimp or his famous curse cruiser to England, forcing him to rely on public transportation instead.

After complaining about interruptions to his experiments and suggesting he could use extra security, Danhausen pivoted to the apparent vacancy at 10 Downing Street.

The crowd’s reaction suggested there was at least some support for the idea, even if Danhausen’s political ambitions remain firmly in the realm of fantasy for now.

Still, given the reaction he received in London, ‘Prime Minister Hausen’ may already have more public backing than some politicians would envy.
