What happens when an unstoppable musical force meets an immovable sex object? America will find out next year, when, as EW reports, Beyoncé duels none other than Channing Tatum in the second season of Lip Sync Battle.

At first glance, the victor seems obvious: Beyoncé, virtuoso singer and world’s biggest pop star, will surely triumph. Then again, this is fake singing, a contest more about performance than pipes, and who busts a better move than Tatum?

Answer: Beyoncé.

But also: Channing.

The best scenario here is that no one gets hurt, the pair become BFFs, and we’re blessed with a Yoncé appearance in Magic Mike XXXL and a Channing cameo in Queen Bey’s next music video. But odds are the bout will be neither civil nor collaborative. Get the popcorn ready; this is our Ali vs. Frazier.
