Leon Slater ascended to the top of the Ultimate X truss at TNA Rebellion and leaped down with trademark 450 Swanton onto a pile of bodies that included AJ Francis, KC Navarro, Moose, Vikingo, Matt Cardona, and Sidney Akeem.
Slater had a rough landing as the pile parted and Slater only caught the arms of certain competitors.
Ricky Morton stated his disappointment in the effort to catch Leon, writing, "Leon gave you his trust and body on the line for an amazing moment & all of you DROPPED him."
Sidney Akeem responded, "It was most definitely inexcusable. Not gonna point blame because we all should have been better."

Sidney also stated he did not get out of the way, but again said everyone could have been better.
2 things..I gave my body to catch Leon’s insane dive…I didn’t get out the way, I stayed there and took it but my knee was landed on and it took me out in the process. But don’t get it twisted as if I got out the way. pic.twitter.com/mrINDgj5Se

It wasn’t just one person. We all should have been better, period.

AJ Francis, who got his arm out to try to catch Leon, commented as well.
Almost tore my bicep trying to catch him and I’m the only one anybody got any smoke for…

But if I was the guy that moved out the way, yall would try to end my career Just like how everyone who’s fucked up a dive since me gets a pass… @LEONSLATER_ himself thanked me-- https://t.co/6ebe2nk8PL
