WWE Pulls Controversial Line From New Day Rap Battle

08/31/2017 04:38 pm EDT

Tuesday's SmackDown Live was mostly centered around John Cena's first appearance since WrestleMania 33, however, the most memorable moment of the night came during a rap battle hosted by Wale. The segment pitted The New Day and The Usos in a back and forth exchange of insults. The New Day were declared the winners, but it was The Usos who dropped a bomb the WWE doesn't want you to remember.

A line that has been omitted from the WWE's YouTube page featured The Usos referencing Xavier Woods involvement in Paige's private NSFW videos that were hacked and leaked earlier this year.

"Let's just keep it PG, you know what's good... don't get all Rated R like ya boy Xavier Woods."

It was only the second time the incident had been referenced on WWE TV since it happened in March. On Xavier's first appearance on RAW after the videos were leaked, Xavier Woods stood flanked by his team mates as he looked stoically towards the camera.

Big E then addressed the elephant in the room by looking at Xavier and saying, "Is there something you want to tell us?"

Without missing a beat, Xavier launched into his WrestleMania promo while Kofi and Big E burst into laughter.

WWE leaving out The Uso's bar about the Paige videos likely means it is an incident they are hoping stays brushed under the rug. Paige has been dropped from the upcoming season of Total Divas, but the injured former champion, who is still under contract, is on pace to return to the company after suffering a neck injury.

As for the rest of the rap battle, The New Day were clearly rapping for the younger audience, as made evident by Kofi Kingston's "Weenie Do" line, which apparently meant that The Uso's guts protruded out farther than their member did.

The Usos sounded more authentic and had the better performance, yet the lines that WWE will want you to remember were Xavier's final cuts.

"You were nothing until your wife put you on Total Divas."

"Ya'll need to get back to doing what you do best and that's carrying bags for Roman."

The two teams will battle once again –in a wrestling match– for the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at the upcoming Battleground pay per view.
