6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE Raw (15 Jun - Results & Review)

UPS…

6. Danhausen Is Mission-Focused

Let’s just admit that most men would probably fall victim to Liv Morgan’s flirtatious entreaties.

Not Danhausen.

Morgan stopped by the ghoul’s lair to ask if he would curse Oba Femi in advance of his King of the Ring semi-final against Dominik Mysterio. She sat on his desk, unzipped her jacket to reveal a Danhausen shirt (to which he commented that she hopefully had paid for that) and batted her eyelashes.

In response, Danhausen went into his list of demandhausens, including “human monies,” being included in her future music videos, more money, songs about Danhausen, and other demands. Rather than engage further, Liv threw in the towel and left.

WWE also aired an updated Danhausen documentary tracing the journey of the NBA’s New York Knicks, whom Danhausen uncursed, leading them to go on a tear and win the NBA Championship. They showed him courtside with celebrities feeding into the sports superstitions and crediting him for the Knicks’ runs. This was incredibly smart to capitalize on this instant fame, and it was being done correctly.
