WWE superstar Danhausen has officially uncursed the New York Giants, a development that carries particular weight given his role in the New York Knicks’ 2026 championship run.
Earlier this year, the “very nice, very evil” wrestler cursed the Knicks during their first-round playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks after a confrontation with Stephen A. Smith. A fan later paid for a Cameo in which Danhausen lifted the hex.
From that point, the Knicks went on a dominant stretch, sweeping subsequent opponents and defeating the San Antonio Spurs in the Finals to end a 53-year title drought. The timing turned Danhausen into a folk hero among Knicks fans, complete with parade appearances, merchandise, and on-air acknowledgment from Jalen Brunson.
Now the
same treatment has been extended to the Giants. In a video that circulated Monday, Danhausen responded to a fan request and declared the team uncursed.

“I can uncurse these New York Giants,” he said. “I don’t know if it’ll work. Do my best. And let me tell you, they are uncursed.”
The timing is notable. After more than a decade of largely losing seasons—one of the NFL’s more consistent struggles since their last Super Bowl appearance in 2011—the Giants sit at 5-2-1 and atop the NFC East under head coach John Harbaugh. They have already secured wins over Dallas, Tennessee, Arizona, Houston, and Philadelphia, with a primetime matchup against Washington next on the schedule.
Whether Danhausen’s involvement has any practical effect remains beside the point. For a franchise that has endured extended stretches of futility, the parallel to the Knicks’ recent turnaround is impossible to ignore.
Giants fans have seen the formula once. They are now watching to see whether it produces similar results on the other side of the river.
