Regarding Leon Slater, we're told that WWE expressed interest in using him on the WWE European tour, which is why he was pulled from the Myron Reed match. Myron Reed would have still worked that date had it not been canceled.

TNA Roster turnover
TNA is headed to an important period, and are expected to have some heavy changes.
Fightful Select had reported in recent months that a number of TNA deals were set to expire at the end of the year. TNA has re-signed a number of wrestlers to new deals, and are still actively negotiating with a number of others.
TNA sources claim they’re expecting a significant roster shift in the coming weeks. Their hope is that it will be for the better and freshen things up in the AMC era.
So far, Mustafa Ali, Cedric Alexander, Nic Nemeth, Jody Threat and AJ Francis are confirmed as having re-signed. Mara Sade, Matt Rehwoldt, Moose, Eddie Edwards, Tom Hannifan, Brian Myers, Frankie Kazaraian, Ryan Nemeth, Leon Slater have all done media for TNA in the last couple of weeks.
The Rascalz have also left the company, and there will be more talent coming and going.
