Danhausen Receives New York Knicks Jersey After Cursing Cleveland Cavaliers

The New York Knicks pulled off a shocking upset over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals of the NBA Playoffs last night, and WWE Superstar Danhausen was in attendance at the NBA playoff game at Madison Square Garden.

Earlier in the day, Danhausen appeared on ESPN’s NBA Today, where he delivered his trademark curse on the Cavaliers (see below). It appears the Danhausen curse proved effective yet again as the Knicks won.

Danhausen even received his own official Knicks Jersey, as shown by WWE on social media. The caption reads, “@DanhausenAD is at Madison Square Garden for all the @nyknicks fanhausens!! 😤” The jersey has the number “0” as Danhausen’s official number on it.

Even AEW star and former WWE Superstar Swerve Strickland was impressed with Danhausen’s curse working on the Cavaliers, as he remarked on social media in response to a new Danhausen video.

The very nice, very evil wrestler remarks in the video, “Danhausen told you the curse was real. Danhausen has cursed the Cavaliers. The Knicks have won, and Danhausen has won. And now he’s owed courtside seats in-between Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner. Yes, that’s right, and the curse will continue!”

Swerve Strickland later responded, “I’m a believer.” You can view that clip and exchange below:
