Leon Slater: It Would Be A Dream To Face Avery Styles In A TNA Ring
Leon Slater wants to share a TNA ring with Avery Styles.
Styles has been a popular topic of conversation amongst TNA fans and wrestlers since signing with the company at the Lockdown event in August. While speaking with Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely, Slater had nothing but great things to say about Avery.
“Avery is g man, Avery is a g. It’s funny because him and Wendy, his mom and AJ’s wife, was there at Lockdown, which is the first time I met him. After kind of hanging out with him and spending the day with him, talking to Wendy a little bit as well, I text AJ afterwards and I go, ‘Man, you have done a hell of a job, you have a beautiful family man.’ He goes, ‘Ah man, thank you, I appreciate you.’ Avery is, he’s so humble. You know what I mean? For someone that’s I think less than a year into his wrestling journey and he’s already signed to TNA and he’s already getting propped up as the next big thing, it’s a lot of pressure. He doesn’t let that get to him, he’s very very humble. He’s just a normal guy, you know what I mean? Which for me, it’s great to see because if there’s anyone that’s kind of been in similar shoes to him of having all that pressure at 19 years old to become the next great X-Division Champion, the next great this or the next great that, it’s me. I think me and Avery kind of click on that level as well, we have similar experiences as young guys trying to find their way through the wrestling world.”
When it comes to a future match, the ‘Youngest In Charge’ says that it would be a dream to face off with Avery.
“I truly hope we get to step in the ring one day at TNA because that would be a hell of a moment. I said it before, it’s like AJ Styles’ biological son versus AJ Styles’ kind of offshoot wrestling half son, you know what I mean? If me and Avery get to lock horns in a TNA ring, it would be a dream.”
