WWE’s Shawn Michaels Invites Drake And Kendrick Lamar To Settle Their Beef In The Ring
The diss track battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar seemingly brought the world together and held social media in a chokehold over the weekend with who won (It’s Kendrick, right?). Both men dug into each other with their singles and caught the attention of WWE Hall of Famer (and self-proclaimed Heartbreak Kid) Shawn Michaels.
Michaels made a career out of bringing his in-ring rivalries into the “real” world and for years was seen as professional wrestling’s bad boy with an even worse attitude. Decades later, he obviously has been reined in and taken on a more corporate role within producing and coaching the performers over at NXT, WWE’s developmental brand. He invited the rappers to come on NXT to settle it in the ring, one on one.
A little Sweet Chin Music goes a long way.@kendricklamar, you and @Drake are formally invited to #WWENXT to settle this thing. I’m even offering my services to mediate. https://t.co/tN02NLq36X

The memes and reactions that followed had fans fantasy booking the scenario, some even calling for Booker T on commentary. Kendrick actually referenced HBK’s finisher, Sweet Chin Music in his last hit, “Not Like Us.”
