This is despite the fact that Danhausen was out of action with an injury. Danhausen also stated that CM Punk, Orange Cassidy, and Chris Jericho vouched for him as well.

"I showed up to say hello to people. to their credit, Cody Rhodes said, 'Are you doing something tonight?' I said, 'No, my leg is broken.' He said, 'I'll make sure you're doing sure you're doing something tonight.' So, Cody, I think, had a little bit to do with helping me get a job there. I believe Pepsi Phil [CM Punk] had something to help with that. I believe Chris Judas [Chris Jericho] had something to help with that because I did his cruise. Orange Cassidy, I believe helped."
