AEWfan Bo-Moxley420 stumbled into a funny new Danhausen easter egg that was added intoAEW Fight Foreverin a free update. While playing as Christian Cage in a ladder match against Matt Hardy, Bo-Moxley420 pulled Danhausen out from underneath the ring instead of a weapon. Danhausen used his signature taunt to curse the player and hinder the growth of momentum. This would give the opponent a slight advantage since the player will be unable toregain momentum inAEW Fight Foreverfor a short duration. Once the curse effect has lifted, the player may regain momentum by striking and grappling their opponent.
