Danhausen curses Cavs and the Knicks win in dramatic overtime comeback
After cursing the New York Knicks a few weeks ago (and then later uncursing them), Danhausen cursed the Cleveland Cavs yesterday before they went on to lose to the Knicks in extremely dramatic fashion last night in Game 1 of the Conference Finals.
The Knicks were able to come back last night from 22 down in the fourth quarter to win over the Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime, with Jalen Brunson leading the MSG team to one of the biggest NBA comebacks of the season.
Danhausen on NBA Today and cursing the Cavs
The bigger story here is just how much Danhausen is starting to get attention in terms of his mainstream appearances. The former AEW star appeared on NBA Today yesterday and revealed that the Cavs were now cursed, before then reacting to the massive win for the Knicks following the game.
Following the win, Danhausen took to X (formerly Twitter) to say that he has now “earned” courtside seats next to “Timothee Chamalays” and Kylie Jenner. There’s currently no word on whether he will actually be given these seats at Madison Square Garden. Game 2 in the Conference Finals takes place on Thursday from MSG, so we’ll see if Danhausen actually gets those seats.
This is obviously in jest, but seeing just how over Danhausen has gotten already with fans online, fans in the live arenas and the attention he’s getting online is quite impressive. WWE behind the scenes must be extremely happy with the return they’re seeing from a monetary and branding point already and he’s only been on television for WWE since March.
