Summary

Kevin Nealon added to Danhausen's running curse bit on May 2, joking on X that the WWE newcomer's powers had reached Spirit Airlines after the company ceased operations.

The comment played off Danhausen's Very Nice, Very Evil persona, which has become a recurring part of his presentation since arriving in WWE at Elimination Chamber 2026.

Social media reaction

Nealon's post turned a real-world news item into another Danhausen curse joke, continuing a stretch where celebrities and wrestling personalities have leaned into the character's supernatural gimmick online.

It also came shortly after Tony Khan joked that Nealon was moving toward AEW after his Danny DeVito challenge, keeping Nealon tied to wrestling conversation through humor.

Danhausen and Backlash 2026

Danhausen's name staying active online gives his WWE run a little more momentum heading into Backlash 2026, where he is still looking for a tag partner for a match against The Miz and Kit Wilson.

That does not change the match itself, but it does keep Danhausen's character front and center between major on-screen developments.
