In addition to being one of our favorite power couples, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are now also Twitter battle champions.

After Piers Morgan posted a rather insensitive tweet shortly following the death of professional boxer, Muhammad Ali, Teigen and Legend came to the rescue and another Piers Morgan Twitter feud was sparked.

The British television personality did not seem to be on board with the abundance of Ali fans honoring his legacy and expressing their love and gratitude for the athlete after he passed.

Morgan tweeted, requesting that when he dies, he hopes people do not idolize him as they idolized Ali.

Apparently Morgan's expression was too much for John Legend to handle, because the generally peaceful singer replied to the tweet with a bit of sass. Like the supportive wife she is, Teigen was right behind her hubby and essentially labeled Morgan as a professional troll.

Morgan attempted to fire back and defend his honor by criticizing Teigen's profession, but he was no match for the powerful, quick-witted Chrissy.

Chrissy finished Morgan off by packing the ultimate punch via an A+ reference to The Sixth Sense. Morgan simply could not recover, and people began to bow down to Teigen.

While her Twitter fingers were still handy, Teigen brought the feud to a close with some personal (and very blunt) tweets.




And the winner is, Chrissy.
