WWE: Danhausen on “Sports Teams Have To Earn Their Curses”, Brie Bella on She “Would Love” One Last Singles Run in WWE Before She Retires, Darius Rucker To Perform National Anthem at WWE SummerSlam Sunday 2026

Danhausen Comments on “Sports Teams Have To Earn Their Curses”

The Detroit News held a recent interview with Danhausen. One of the topics discussed included Danhausen’s thoughts about if he will help out the Detroit Tigers baseball team, Red Wings hockey team, or Lions football team by cursing their opponents.

“We’ll get to it, we’ll get to it. Not yet, you’ve gotta earn it a little bit. How bout you meet Danhausen halfway, get to the playoffs, and then we’ll talk.”

In a separate recent interview with The Sal Licata Show podcast, Danhausen also gave his thoughts about if he had taken more interest in sports following the hype of him uncursing the New York Knicks.

“Yes, absolutely. So now it’s like watching… I told… I was telling someone, it felt like watching a movie. There’s like a beginning, a middle, where you think the heroes are going to lose, and they win, last second. They come up on top. It’s like a whole, it’s like wrestling.”

Danhausen also gave his thoughts about if he put any money down on the Knicks winning the NBA Championship this year.

“No, without even betting. I think I’d get in trouble for that.”

Brie Bella Comments on She “Would Love” One Last Singles Run in WWE Before She Retires

A recent episode of The Sal Licata Show podcast featured WWE Hall of Famer Brie Bella as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Bella’s thoughts about her loving to have one last potential singles run in her WWE career before she retires.

“I would love that. You know, like being with Paige has been one of the greatest blessings. I was really bummed out when Nikki broke her ankle, especially it was two weeks before WrestleMania. I was like, ‘oh no.’ But then having Paige step in, being my tag partner, because we’ve been like sisters. It’s crazy. With WWE, you’re always going to be part of this family. But Paige, we go way back. Been blessed with that. But I would love to do a single run. I would love to go for one of the titles, whatever title that I could fit into. I mean, I think that’s the way you end it.”
