TNA X Division Champion Leon Slater Retains At Victory Road, Next Challenger Revealed
Last night at TNA Victory Road in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, TNA X Division champion Leon Slater defended the title against Myron Reed in the main event of the show. The match was incredible and blew the roof off of the Edmonton Expo Centre, truly showcasing what both men are capable of.
Slater would go on to win the match and have TNA President Carlos Silva present him with the title belt, however, he had to immediately shift gears toward his Bound For Glory opponent.
Director of Authority Santino Marella came out to reveal a video package. In the video package, NXT star Je’Von Evans appeared and said it was a dream of his to compete at this level and for that title.
The match was made official for the Bound for Glory PPV on Sunday, October 12.
Leon Slater is the “Youngest in Charge”, as well as the youngest X Division champion in company history. He defeated Moose to capture the title at the Slammiversary PPV back in July and has had some good defenses since that time, including an absolutely fantastic match just a few weeks ago against Cedric Alexander.
Will Leon be able to stop one of the best up-and-coming stars in his tracks? Or will Je’Von Evans be too much for even Leon to handle? We’ll have to tune in to the Bound For Glory PPV on Sunday, October 12, for that answer.
