TNA Wrestling star Leon Slater has now reacted to reports about WWE names being interested in wrestling him, naming his dream WWE opponents.
Following TNA’s Jordynne Grace and Ash By Elegance appearing at NXT Battleground, there has been a lot of speculation about future crossover between the two promotions.
Fightful Select recently reported that former TNA World Champion Josh Alexander and 19 year old Leon Slater were two names who were spoken of highly as potential opponents, by NXT names.
Speaking with Cultaholic, Leon Slater noted that he’s hopeful that he’ll get the opportunity to be part of WWE and TNA’s crossover plans.
Addressing the report, he said:
“It is extremely, extremely cool to have my name thrown up in this conversation. I’ve been trying not to get too excited over it because it is just a rumour, it is just a report, there’s no concrete sayings as of yet, but I like to think there’s no smoke without fire.
“For me to be named is very cool, especially in the position I am now where I’m on TNA but I’m not the highest on the totem pole. I’m certainly not on the level of a Maclin or a Santana or a Josh Alexander, who I know has been named as well.
“So for me to be in the position I am and still being spoken of highly by people on that side is very cool and I hope we do get to explore what the Prohibited Portal looks like for me, for sure.
Naming Je’Von Evans, NXT Champion Trick Williams and former WWE Champion AJ Styles as dream opponents, Slater said:
“The one I’ve been seeing on socials a lot is me and Je’Von Evans. I think even before Je’Von got signed we were being compared as kind of like two parallels on other sides of the pond. We’re both young, we both carry ourselves with this confidence, this kind of attitude. So I think me and Je’Von would be a very interesting matchup.
“Other than him, obviously the main man Trick Williams is someone I would like to mix it up with. As far as the main roster goes, I have to say AJ Styles, man, especially being on this side representing TNA now. I’d be super, super interested to mix it up with AJ, who really put TNA on the map.”
After making a name for himself on the independent scene, Slater signed with TNA Wrestling in October 2023.
Ash By Elegance (fka Dana Brooke) has now addressed her surprise WWE return appearance, which you can read more about right here.
