Rap Battle
Wale declared The New Day the winners of tonight’s WWE Smackdown Live Rap Battle after The Usos attacked New Day for their final verse.
The battle consisted of references to The Usos being in dark matches, Rikishi’s butt, Xavier Woods’ scandalous incident with Paige, Big E’s chest, and Kofi losing his Jamaican accent. The final line came from Woods, who said Jimmy was nothing until Naomi got him on Total Divas, and that they should get back to doing what they do best, and it’s carrying bags for Roman Reigns. The Usos ended up jumping at them trying to attack, but they were separated and Wale declared The New Day the winners due to the incident.
Hostile situation, you say? Things just spilled over the edge in the #RapBattle, and @Wale‘s in the middle of it all! #SDLive pic.twitter.com/1pk8fHfYSc
