In a battle hailed as a modern classic, the fan consensus narrowly favors the established duo. While Bobby Rex & Raptor Warhurst delivered a career-best performance, particularly in a show-stealing third round, Shuffle T & Marlo's signature blend of intricate writing, meta-commentary, and flawless chemistry across all three rounds was seen as more consistent, earning them a debatable but deserved victory.

Round-by-Round

Analysis

In what many fans are calling the UK's battle of the year, the highly anticipated return of Shuffle T & Marlo was met with a shocking challenge from Bobby Rex & Raptor Warhurst.

The result was an instant classic, a back-and-forth affair where both teams landed heavy.

However, Scapegoats' newfound charisma and an explosive, show-stealing third round made the battle incredibly debatable.
