WWE superstar Danhausen is taking a victory lap after the New York Knicks swept the Cleveland Cavaliers to reach the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999.
The "very nice and very evil" performer known for laying curses on opponents says he lifted the decades-long jinx on the Knicks. Danhausen appeared at Madison Square Garden, received a team jersey, and WWE released a shirt reading "You are Uncursed."
Knicks star Jalen Brunson-a noted WWE fan-has avoided directly commenting on the superstition but acknowledged Roman Reigns before every game. The Knicks now await their opponent in the NBA Finals.
Danhausen also previously attempted to "un-curse" the New York Mets but claims the spell only partially worked because he wasn't fully paid.
