Could Leon Slater take on AJ Styles in a TNA ring down the line?
At this past weekend’s Slammiversary, AJ Styles made his first TNA appearance in over a decade to congratulate Leon Slater after his X-Division Championship win. ‘The Phenomenal One’ endorses the young star as someone who will be a major playing in the company for years to come, and some fans are wondering whether the pair will step into the ring against one another in the near future to further solidify Slater’s spot as one to watch. Now, the 20-year-old has expressed just how much a potential match with Styles would mean to him.
In an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Leon Slater said that he’d ‘1000%’ want to wrestle AJ Styles, noting how huge it’d be for his career and how significant it could be for TNA.
“1,000 percent, 1,000 percent and honestly, I think after Sunday, if he is gonna have one more match in TNA, I think the opponent has become clear, and I think the story within itself. The first X Division Champion versus the youngest-ever and the current, I think would do wonders for me and my career, and for TNA, that’s a huge deal for us, you know? I’ma say when, I’m not gonna say if. Again, I’m a big believer in speaking things into existence so when A.J. has that one last match in TNA, I’ll be waiting.”

As yet, there’s no indication that a future match between AJ Styles and Leon Slater is something that TNA is looking to set up, but there remains a huge portion of fans that want to see Styles compete in the company at least once more before the 48-year-old calls time on his career.
As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on Leon Slater’s future plans as soon as we hear more.
