Former two-time AEW World Champion MJF caught wind of the news and took to his Instagram Story to write, “It’s a new day, yes it is.”

It is well known that on the lead-up to the first ALL IN in 2018, The New Day (Big E, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) and The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) tried to set up a match, but it was not cleared.

In the summer of 2018, the two trios did a Street Fighter gaming stream. WWE promoted that on their website.
