As reported earlier, The New Day and The Elite went head to head at this year's E3 on the Capcom stage. The battle? To see who was better at Street Fighter V.

My money was on Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks (sorry, Creed, we still love you), but to be honest, I would have been happy with either winner. But boy, everyone was ready.

Not only is Omega the IWGP Heavyweight Champ, but he's now better at Street Fighter V than Austin Creed. God bless wrestling.
