Kofi Kingston of The New Day recently was a guest on The Unsanctioned Podcast where he talked about working with Kenny Omega, Matt and Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks at E3. The stars took place in a Street Fighter competition at the convention.
“To see where [Omega’s] career has gone, and to see him just rise over there in Japan has been awesome to watch,” said Kingston. “So I always regretted not being able to have personal interaction with him, so for me, it was kind of a dream come true.”
On working with The Young Bucks and public’s reaction to the event:
“It was just great, man. And the Young Bucks are just so cool. It was just an instant vibe, just instant chemistry,” Kingston said. “We were all on the same page and just went out there. And honestly, the vibe in general like leading up to it was like, okay, this is probably going to get canceled because there’s no way that Vince knows this is happening. When was the last time you saw WWE doing anything inter-promotional? Granted it was on the video game stage, but still. Ever since we came out, there was talk of The Elite versus The New Day, all this talk on the internet, on social media. We get those comments every single day. And hopefully, this was like the first step to open up some doors to do more things in the future. We’ll keep our fingers crossed.”
