IShowSpeed’s WWE Raw Cameo Rolls Into Digital Follow-Up as Danhausen ‘Curse’ Holds

WWE is leaning on influencer reach to drum up attention before WrestleMania 42.

Overview

  • WWE’s official posts Tuesday extended the angle as Danhausen beat IShowSpeed in a digital race, keeping the on-screen “curse” in effect.
  • IShowSpeed appeared in several Raw segments, first backstage with Je’Von Evans and later doing Intercontinental Champion Penta’s signature strut as Dragon Lee watched.
  • The curse bit began after IShowSpeed turned down Danhausen’s pitch to co-stream and split profits from his large audience.
  • Raw general manager Adam Pearce reacted in character, first spooked by the scene and later trying to settle IShowSpeed’s confusion.
  • Outlets note the cameo could tee up something for WrestleMania 42, though any role remains unconfirmed, in line with WWE’s frequent use of short social videos to stretch quick celebrity storylines.
