A huge WWE star has suggested a way for Drake and Kendrick Lamar to squash their beef.
The two rap heavyweights have been at loggerheads of late after Drake featured on J. Cole's diss track about the 'm.A.A.d city' hitmaker.
Titled 'First Person Shooter', the link-up between Drake and J.Cole from 2023, Cole refers to himself, Drake and Lamar as the 'big three' - singling himself out as boxer Muhammad Ali.

Responding to this, Kendrick went on to release 'Like That' and accused Cole and Drake of 'sneak dissing'.
Addressing the lyrics in 'First Person Shooter', Lamar raps: "Motherf**k the big three, it’s just big me."
Cole has seemingly bowed out of the fallout, however.
After releasing '7 Minute Drill' in response to 'Like That', Cole has apologized to his fellow rapper and said he'd be pulling the song from all streaming platforms.
But the feud between Drake and Lamar continues, with both stars having released apparent 'diss tracks' about one another of late.
With this in mind, WWE's Shawn Michaels has weighed in on the matter and suggested how the two rappers could end their fallout once and for all.
"A little Sweet Chin Music goes a long way," he wrote to X. "@kendricklamar, you and @Drake are formally invited to #WWENXT to settle this thing. I’m even offering my services to mediate."
His remarks comes after Lamar's recent track 'Not Like Us' refers to Michaels' famous finishing move. The tweet has since been viewed almost nine million times by social media users.
"THIS is the finale we need," one person replied, as a second person echoed: "We need to settle this on NXT!"
Noting the unlikely crossing of worlds, someone else wrote: "If you told me Shawn Michaels would invite Drake and Kendrick to NXT I would laugh in your face."

"This is the last person i expected to get involved but i'm here for it," said a different person.
Elsewhere, WWE fans have gone wild that Michaels has been brought into the mix.
One person raved: "As a 90's kid. This post made my day."
"A true legend #HBK," said another of Michaels, AKA 'The Heartbreak Kid' or 'HBK' for short.
Drake and Lamar are yet to responds to Michaels' invitation, but I'm sure it would go down a storm with both rap and WWE fans alike...
