One of the biggest battles of the year just dropped on Wednesday (June 3) and the social media reactions are rolling in (as they have been ever since the live PPV and subsequent bootlegs dropped in May). The real question on a lot of peoples' minds was whether or not Charlie Clips had actually shown up for the battle — figuratively speaking at least —following a handful of lackluster performances throughout 2014.
You can read up on our own post-battle breakdown on the site here (and watch the actual match-up here), but for all the Twitter reaction you could ever want, check out our collection of the best of the best below.

There have also been some accusations that the video was edited in a way to make Charlie Clips look better. URL video guru Twizz was quick to shoot those ideas down.
