CM Punk Favored to Be Danhausen’s Mystery Tag Partner at WWE Backlash 2026

MyBookie odds list CM Punk as the -200 favorite to reveal himself as Danhausen’s mystery tag partner for the WWE Backlash 2026 match against The Miz and Kit Wilson, with Jelly Roll at +400, John Cena +2000 and Stephen A. Smith +5000 rounding out notable possibilities. Punk is not currently advertised for any other match on the May 9 card, and his longtime friendship with Danhausen — plus reports that Punk championed the Very Nice, Very Evil character backstage — make his involvement a credible possibility.

The Backlash card also features Roman Reigns vs. Jacob Fatu for the World Heavyweight Championship, Seth Rollins vs. Bron Breakker, Trick Williams vs. Sami Zayn for the U.S. Title, and IYO SKY vs. Asuka. Danhausen has publicly teased the mystery partner, even tweeting a tongue-in-cheek callout to several retired and active names asking “How does 400 human dollars sound to come out of retirements and team with Danhausen?”.
