Leon Slater Believes Facing Je’Von Evans At TNA Bound For Glory Is A Mirror Match
TNA Bound for Glory‘s X-Division title match is one of the highlights of the show, and one that reigning champion Leon Slater believes will be close.
Speaking on the Battleground Podcast (via Fightful), Slater said that he’s got almost no strategy for the match because both superstars are so close in skill and abilities.
“So the match came about. I’m not sure exactly what the inner workings were, but I feel like me and Je’Von have been on these kind of parallel paths, right? Where I’ve been killing it in TNA, he’s been killing it in NXT. We’re both young. We both have similar energy, we both carry ourselves a certain way. We but talk a certain way. We’re both 21-year-olds,” said Slater. “So there’s only a matter of time before these parallel paths all of a sudden become perpendicular, if that’s the right word, and the path begins to cross, and when the time was right, and obviously, he popped up on the screen at Victory Road. I was hoping it would be him for Bound for Glory. That’s what I was aiming for.
“So I’m glad we finally got it. I think for me, it’s going to be a super cool experience, because I’ve never met someone that’s so similar to me in the way they operate and the way they wrestle. So it’s almost going to be like wrestling myself, or like wrestling in a mirror at Bound for Glory, which I’m very, very much looking forward to. I think everyone’s been excited for a reason. People are expecting a classic, and I think that’s what we’re going to deliver.”
