Xavier Woods Wants An Inter-Promotional Match With Kenny Omega
From the console to the ring...
Any dream matches between The New Day and The Elite have so far been relegated to the video game world, but Xavier Woods is hoping to take the next logical step.
Speaking on the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, Woods spoke of Kenny Omega and their history of squaring off through gaming. But he's not content to just leave their friendly rivalry there.
“Kenny Omega has been on my YouTube show before and so have the Young Bucks," Woods said. "We have been able to do a Street Fighter Tournament together with a wrestling spin on it of course with the contract signing and cutting promos on each other beforehand. Using video games as a conduit we have been able to do something no one else has been able to do.
"That rivalry is still going strong today and I’m pretty sure it will never end. I would love to do some sort of inter-promotional match with him one day.
Woods adds, “The goal is to destroy boundaries. Do things that we aren’t supposed to be doing because people would really enjoy it. Given the right circumstances, I do think it could happen, but we’ll see.”
