Danhausen took over WWE in 2026 as part-superpowered mascot and part-time WWE ambassador. Now, during SummerSlam week, the popular "king of the curse" will team up with ESPN to invite fans to the first-ever Freeze Tour.
Accompanied by a customized popsicle truck, Danhausen will make stops across the greater Minneapolis area, from Downtown East Commons Park to the Convention Center and U.S. Bank Stadium. The truck will include a flavor wheel where fans can select frozen treats.
Despite being in WWE for just two months at the time, WWE built an entire Danhausen exhibit at WWE World during WrestleMania week. Danhausen also partnered with the Goodyear Blimp, where he cursed the entire city of Las Vegas from the skies above.
Danhausen transcended into the mainstream zeitgeist after cursing and un-cursing the New York Knicks en route to the team winning the NBA Championship after a 52-year drought. He will now take his talents to Minneapolis, Minnesota — home of one of the most cursed NFL franchises in history, the Super Bowl-starved Minnesota Vikings.
With Danhausen back on tour and growing increasingly annoyed with fanbases lining up to beg for his assistance, the WWE sensation is sure to receive several requests to pull the Vikings out of their misery less than two months before the NFL returns.
Danhausen last competed at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event, where he defeated JD McDonagh with assistance from NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns.
