In a shocking turn of events, TNA X Division Champion Leon Slater is set to make his highly anticipated WWE debut at Saturday Night’s Main Event, and the 30-year-old wrestler is feeling a mix of emotions as he prepares to step into the ring alongside Je’Von Evans against the reigning World Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.
According to Slater, the opportunity to compete at such a prestigious event is a “culmination” of his hard work and dedication to the sport. In an exclusive interview with The A2theK Wrestling Show, Slater expressed his gratitude towards WWE for choosing him for the high-profile match.

When asked about his pre-match routine, Slater revealed that he’s been working on his endurance and agility, as well as honing his moveset to perfection.
“I’ve been training non-stop for weeks, pushing myself to my limits and beyond,” Slater said. “I’m feeling stronger and more confident than ever, and I’m ready to put on a show for the fans. I’ve also been studying AJ Styles and Dragon Lee’s moves, looking for any weaknesses that we can exploit. I’m confident that we’ll be able to catch them off guard and pull off the upset.”
According to a WWE insider, Slater’s debut has been a long time coming, and his selection for the match against AJ Styles and Dragon Lee was a deliberate move by WWE officials.
“Leon Slater has been on WWE’s radar for a while now, and we’re excited to see what he can bring to the table,” the insider said. “He’s got a unique style and a lot of charisma, and we think he’s got the potential to be a major player in the WWE.
