Hip-hop star Wale revealed on Twitter Friday afternoon that he will be making his way to SmackDown LIVE tonight to host the Rap Battle between The New Day and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos.

After the announcement, The Usos, perhaps concerned that Wale might get a little too friendly with their rivals, and sent a warning to the rapper.

The New Day, who issued the challenge for the lyrical throwdown, are thrilled that the emcee is coming to Phoenix to officiate this battle of bars.

So @Wale is coming through to moderate and @WWEUsos Are already halfway to making excuses and capitalizing words for no reason🤔 https://t.co/hEDcxuMiLU
