An inter-promotional trios match-up has been announced recently. While all 6 of the participants are wrestlers, however, this match will be conducted on a gaming console.
Over the weekend, Xavier Woods and new IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Kenny Omega, got into a war of words. Woods eventually announced he was bringing in Kofi Kingston and Big E to E32018 as his partners. Just last night, the Young Bucks revealed that they will be Omega’s partners at the event.
E32018 is large gaming expo taking place in Los Angeles this week.
New Day vs the Elite will be contested via Street Fighter V. The event will be live streamed at Twitch.tv/CapcomFighters on June 14th, 2018 at 1PM local time.

“I appreciate the sentiments on my historic win,” Omega responded to Woods on Twitter. “But for you to assume that I wouldn’t find any friends for #E3 is about as silly as your mid-card comedy act partners. Get ready for your first main event, boys.”
WWE.com reported on the matchup. They even referred to New Day’s challengers as IWGP Champions. Omega’s “Best Bout Machine” nickname is referenced in the article as well.
The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega won heavyweight gold in NJPW over the weekend. Omega defeated Kazuchika Okada to finally win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at Dominion 2018. The Young Bucks won the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships from Evil and Sanada as well. It’s the first time the Bucks have won heavyweight gold in NJPW.
