New Day member Kofi Kingston recently spoke with The Unsanctioned Podcast where he talked about the recent E3 event where they worked with New Japan stars.

The event saw New Day face Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks in a Street Fighter battle which WWE openly covered, a decision that surprised the wrestling world, including those who were involved. Below are some highlights of the interview with a H/T to Rajah.com for the transcriptions.

On the event actually taking place:

“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.”

Kingston on Kenny Omega’s rise:

“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.”
