Leon Slater Reveals His Top 3 Favorite Moments From His TNA X-Division Title Reign

Leon Slater recently revealed his favorite moments from his near-record breaking reign as TNA X-Division Champion. The TNA star held the X-Division Championship for 298 days, tying with Austin Aries for the longest reign ever. He lost it to Cedric Alexander on the May 14th episode of TNA Impact.

Slater spoke with Sports Jedi Network for a new interview and was asked about his top three moments from his reign. He picked a quick #1 and 2, but had to settle for a tie for his third favorite. You can see the highlights below (per Fightful):

On His Favorite Moment From His Reign:

“I would say moment number one, the beginning of me and Je’Von. We didn’t touch, we didn’t move a muscle. We stood there and people stood up, we got a standing ovation before we even touched. I think that was a testament to the work that he was doing in NXT and a testament to the work I was doing in TNA.”

On His Second Favorite Moment:

“Number two for me would probably be the match itself against Myron Reed. That was the first time I’ve ever main evented at TNA pay-per-view in a singles match. Not only to have a killer match against someone I’ve looked up to for a while — I used to watch Myron’s highlights on the way to training. Not only to have a match against him but for the company to trust us to go and deliver the main event of a TNA PLE, that’s something super special.”

On His Third Favorite:

“I’m tossing and turning between John Cena’s last match and being on that sort of stage as the X-Division Champion and doing SmackDown in my home country as the X-Division Champion. That’s like 3A and 3B for me, you know what I mean? Both super special moments obviously.”
