Leon Slater says he deserves to be in the main event of TNA Sacrifice.
At TNA Sacrifice, Leon Slater will compete in the main event. He will team up with Joe Hendry, Elijah, Matt Hardy, and Nic Nemeth to face Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers, JDC, and The Colons (Eddie Colon & Orlando Colon) in a Steel Cage Match. This will be one of the biggest opportunities that Slater has had in TNA so far.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Leon Slater discussed competing in the main event of TNA Sacrifice.
“It’s huge. It can’t be expressed enough, how big of a deal this is for me, especially being at Sacrifice, where last year, my debut at TNA was actually the day after sacrifice. So to have this almost one calendar year run at Sacrifice 2025, to be in the main and again, to be in the main with people I’ve grown up watching, Nic Nemeth, I’ve watched my whole childhood. Same with Matt [Hardy]. Joe Hendry’s had his rise over the past year, and it’s been great to be kind of at his side experiencing that. Even on the opposite side of that, we have people like Dango, The Colons, all of these people I’ve grown up watching. So to be in a TNA ring at Sacrifice one year on from my debut, in the main event, I really don’t have the words to describe how much this means," Slater said.
Slater was then asked whether he deserved to be in the match, and he stated that he believed he did. He noted that if he didn't, TNA management likely would not have put him in the match. He also emphasized that he always tried his best to make the most of any opportunity, and TNA Sacrifice would be no different.
"I think I absolutely do, 100 percent. I think, if I didn’t, number one, TNA management wouldn’t have put me in this position and I’m also a very strong believer in self-confidence. I go by the nickname ‘The Youngest in Charge’, and that’s kind of what it’s all about. Since day one, since I’ve been in this business, I’ve tried to carry myself with this self-confidence and the self-belief that no matter what spot I’m in, I’m going to make the best of it, and I truly believe that tonight, although it’s a huge opportunity, it’s just another opportunity that I’m going to knock out the park," Slater said.
