Big E is warning everyone to take Danhausen’s curse seriously after the spooky meeting with YouTuber iShowSpeed on WWE Raw. The former WWE champion said he is worried for Speed and offered some tongue-in-cheek safety tips.
What happened on Raw
The incident began backstage on a recent episode of WWE Raw. Danhausen and iShowSpeed crossed paths after Danhausen asked the internet star for his login details so they could make content together.
iShowSpeed turned down the request. Soon after, some fans and wrestlers began talking about a string of strange events linked to Danhausen’s on-screen curse. iShowSpeed has since had a rough week with several delays and problems, according to reports.
Big E shares his concerns
On a recap show, Big E spoke about the situation and warned that Danhausen’s curse should not be taken lightly. He said, “The curse is real.”
Big E suggested that if iShowSpeed shows up at the next show, he should have a lot of protection. “I think he should be surrounded by security. I think he should have a like a bubble boy kind of suit,” Big E said. He added that he takes curses, spirits, and similar things seriously.
He also joked about extra precautions: “If I’m Speed, I’m probably getting a vial of holy water around my neck and maybe some garlic and a stake just in case. I don’t know if Danhausen is an actual vampire, but it couldn’t hurt just to be prepared.”
Changing impressions of Danhausen
Big E also addressed fans who were unsure about Danhausen after his WWE debut. Some critics were not impressed at first. Big E said those views changed once people saw how the character has been used on TV.
He called Danhausen someone he would not want to mess with on either Raw or SmackDown. Big E pointed to the character’s recent TV moments as proof that the gimmick can be effective and entertaining.
Where iShowSpeed fits next
There are reports that WWE has plans for iShowSpeed at WrestleMania 42. The company has not released an official schedule or confirmed how the star will appear. For now, the story mixes real backstage talk with on-screen theatrics, leaving fans guessing what will happen next.
Whether the curse is real or just part of the show, it has grabbed attention. Wrestlers, personalities, and fans will be watching to see if iShowSpeed returns and how WWE chooses to handle the cross-over between internet fame and pro wrestling drama.
