Danhausen Faces AI-Art Backlash Over New WWE Shirt as Fans Cite 2025 Anti-AI Post
4 articles · Updated · Figure Four Online · May 11
WWE Shop’s new Danhausen T-shirt drew online backlash after fans on X alleged the artwork was AI-generated, though the report says that has not been confirmed.
Fans pointed to supposed telltale flaws in the image—including a hand and thumb issue—and some said they ran the design through AI detectors.
Danhausen is being targeted largely because of his own past stance: in March 2025, he posted that AI “still f*cking sucks” and should not be used for art.
The dispute centers on perceived hypocrisy rather than any verified finding, with no confirmation that Danhausen designed the image himself or that the art was actually AI-made.
