Los Garza opened the sequence, approaching Danhausen with a bag of money and asking him to curse the Knicks. Zack Ryder followed, working to keep Danhausen aligned with the Knicks' side. The segment closed with Kit Wilson pressing Danhausen to uncurse The Miz, who has apparently short circuited since being cursed last month.

Danhausen's Knicks History and SmackDown Stance

Danhausen famously cursed and later uncursed the Knicks during their first round series against the Atlanta Hawks. On SmackDown, he vowed not to put the curse back on the team. He did say he is happy to keep taking money from fellow WWE superstars if they continue offering it.

NBA Finals Presence and Series Status

The Danhausen storyline has grown large enough that he was in attendance for Game 3 of the Finals at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks lost that game, leaving questions about how the curse dynamic is supposed to function. Danhausen's presence might have been expected to prevent a Knicks loss, though the source notes his power may have overwhelmed New York to the point the team could not maintain its bearings.

The Knicks rebounded in Game 4 with a historic comeback to take a 3-1 series lead over the Spurs. New York will go for the series win in San Antonio on Saturday night. If the Knicks close out the title, Danhausen is expected to take credit for the NBA championship.
