Slater is looking forward to facing off against Je’Von Evans.
On October 12, Leon Slater is set to defend the TNA X-Division Championship against NXT’s Je’Von Evans at Bound For Glory, taking place at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, Massachusetts.
In an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, Leon Slater discussed his upcoming match with Je’Von Evans, commenting that the similarities between the two will make it feel “like wrestling a mirror.”
“We’re almost alternate universe versions of each other, where I’m the English Je’Von Evans, and he’s the American Leon Slater. It’s almost like wrestling a mirror. So that’s an interesting concept and I’m excited to deliver on everyone’s expectations.”
