TNA Wrestling star Leon Slater appeared on Hitting The Turnbuckle podcast to discuss several topics, including who he wants to face from WWE NXT.
Slater said, “I think my answer is the same as everybody else’s answer would be to this question. It’s Je’Von Evans, no question. I think as two people that are almost mirroring each other in separate environments, two 20-year-olds taking our respective promotions by storm, I’d really be interested to see who the best young wrestler on the planet is, right? I firmly believe it’s me and I’m sure he firmly believes it’s him.”
On how the only way to find out who the best young wrestler on the planet is to put them in the ring:
“And I think there’s only one way to find that out. Apart from Je’Von, as another topic, I would love to mix it up with Oba or Trick or whoever ends up holding that NXT belt. I would love to get my shot. I would love to mix it up with Ricky Saints. I would love to mix it up with the Fraxiom boys. They have a very, very stacked roster, just like we do. But if I was to pick one, I think we should decide who the best young wrestler in the world is.”
