Leon Slater talks a possible dream match with AJ Styles.
For quite some time, TNA's Leon Slater has called for a match with WWE's AJ Styles, who he himself is a TNA legend. Now, Slater believes it is not a matter of if, but when he gets the chance to step into the ring with Styes.
While speaking to Metro's Alistair McGeorge in a new interview, Slater spoke about meeting Styles at a TNA taping in Atlanta, Georgia.
"The fact that he took time out of his day to watch my match and be gracious enough to give me some feedback afterwards was huge for me, so I’m gonna say when, not if, when it happens. I’m gonna be ready for it, man, and it’s gonna be fun. It’s gonna be legendary."
After briefly discussing an interaction where the topic was broached to Styles, Slater spoke about how he wanted to face Styles following winning the X-Division championship.
"To be a part of that lineage, and to be to have my name holding a conversation with people like AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Samoa Joe, Austin Aries – Frankie Kazarian is another one – is something very, very special, I’m trying to live forever in wrestling, I want to be remembered. And I think a match against AJ Styles, especially at the point that I’m in right now, would be another step towards that."
Slater is currently scheduled to challenge for the TNA X-Division Championship at TNA Slammiversary. You can read more about that here.
