Update On Leon Slater’s Independent Absence (Patreon)

Leon Slater’s time on the independent circuit may be at a close.

Since signing with TNA in 2023, Leon Slater has remained active on the independent wrestling scene in Europe and the United States, featuring as part of several promotions rosters in the UK. However, Slater has not competed outside of TNA or WWE since November of last year.

In asking with various sources around the European wrestling scene, including promoters and talent alike, Fightful Select's Corey Brennan is told the overwhelming belief among those we spoke with is that Slater is ‘protecting himself’ in what is a contract year for the UK born talent. The majority of those we spoke with also felt that if Slater does feature on the scene again, it will likely be with a promotion such as RevPro, or his home promotion of NORTH.

In addition to this, we asked if Slater had been in contact with wXw since pulling out of an event last year to compete at WWE’s Saturday Night’s Main Event in December, however, it was claimed to us that there hasn’t been any contact between the company and Slater.

Slater’s deal with TNA is up later this year, and those we spoke with also believe that he will have major interest from WWE around that time.
