MTV’s Celebrity Deathmatch returns! 10 battles we’d love to see

In a world where celebrity beefs rarely escape the confines of social media, one show is giving famous people a chance to settle their differences the right way: with a fight to the death.

MTV Studios has announced plans to reimagine Celebrity Deathmatch, the stop-motion satire that pitted claymation versions of pop culture figures against each other in an over-the-top battle to the bitter end during its original six-season run, beginning in 1998. The revamped version will also feature voice acting from executive producer Ice Cube.

Ahead of Celebrity Deathmatch's return, here are 10 pairs of celebrities we'd like to see duke it out in the wrestling ring.
