Overview
- WWE performer Danhausen publicly lifted a playful “curse” on the Mets after Brian Gewirtz’s plea on X on Wednesday.
- Gewirtz promised to try to get Danhausen’s face on a WWE production truck, a pledge SNY highlighted as the exchange spread.
- New York has dropped seven straight to fall to 7-11, scoring 10 total runs in the slide, with star outfielder Juan Soto on the injured list with a calf strain.
- The Mets were set to play the Dodgers on Wednesday night with Shohei Ohtani starting, offering an immediate test of any morale boost.
- Reports cast the uncursing as a social media bit similar to the 2024 Grimace moment, which fans recall as a fun lift rather than a driver of results.
