You! Are! Uncursed!
WWE star Danhausen is in attendance for Game 3 of the NBA Finals, after uncursing the Knicks when they went down 2-1 to the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs.
The Knicks have won 13 straight since then.
“I hope [the Knicks] get to 3-0, then I think we’re smooth sailing,” Danhausen said on “Hoop Streams” pregame. “But who knows? It’s not over yet.”
Danhausen, wearing his signature white, black and red face paint and a No. 0 blue Knicks jersey, posed for a photo with Knicks celebrity superfan Ben Stiller before Monday’s game.
Danhausen cursed ESPN star Stephen A. Smith and the Knicks on “First Take” before the start of the NBA playoffs after Smith was “rude” to him.
The WWE star asked Smith for an apology and money on Twitter, but the television personality did not provide either.
Danhausen has since lifted the curse on a Cameo message bought by J-Starr of BodySlam.net.
“It’s a team effort. It’s Danhausen and the Knicks,” Danhausen said about taking credit for the 13-game win streak. He was also on hand at MSG for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Cavaliers.
The former AEW performer also cursed the Carolina Hurricanes before their double-overtime loss in the Stanley Cup Finals.
Danhausen has since reversed the curse onto the Golden Knights.
The self-proclaimed evil entity is one of the most unique members of the WWE roster, being the sole member in the comedy-horror lane.
He made his debut at Elimination Chamber in February.
His catch phrase, “Very nice, very evil,” is on par with someone who carries a jar of teeth into every match, but chastises people for swearing.
Danhausen curses opponents, or in this case, Stephan A. Smith and the Knicks, by pointing both of his hands at them.
While never working in the moment, the curses tend to catch up with opponents at some point, including the curse that caused Dominik Mysterio to lose the Intercontinental championship to Penta.
