Overview
- A fan video posted on X showed Danhausen replying that he was cursing Argentina before the World Cup final, and the wrestler later posted “Danhausen did it again” after Spain won 1-0.
- News outlets used the fan clip and Danhausen’s own X post as the core evidence for the story and widely amplified the sequence on social media.
- Reporters note the moment relies on coincidence and entertainment framing rather than any causal link between the wrestler’s comment and the match result.
- Danhausen’s gag gained him wider attention during the Knicks’ 2026 playoff run and led to WWE appearances at Madison Square Garden that featured Karl-Anthony Towns helping him win a match.
- The episode highlights how sports and wrestling can cross over in real time and creates an obvious hook WWE could choose to weave into future programming.
