WWE broadcaster and former WWE Champion Big E had high praise for AEW TNT Champion Kevin Knight and TNA X-Division Champion Leoon Slater after seeing them both in Las Vegas during WrestleMania Week. Big E spoke about telling them how much of a joy it is to watch them perform in wrestling.

Big E wrote on meeting Kevin Knight and Leon Slater, “Ran into @Jet2Flyy & LEONSLATER_ at the gym in Vegas a few days ago. Glad I got to tell those brothers what a joy it is to watch them do incredible things in this industry. Pro wrestling’s youth movement is a beauty to behold.”

Leon Slater recently defended his TNA X-Division Title at TNA Rebellion earlier this month, beating former WWE Superstar Cedric Alexander.
