Leon Slater, the reigning TNA X-Division Champion, has not accepted any independent bookings since late last year. His last appearances outside of TNA and WWE were in November 2025, when he worked for wXw on November 21 and Revolution Pro Wrestling on November 23. Prior to this, Slater remained active on the indie scene while working for TNA and made appearances for various promotions from 2023 through 2025.
According to Corey Brennan of Fightful Select, he has spoken to multiple sources, including talent and promoters from the European wrestling scene. The general consensus is that Slater is being cautious as he approaches a contract year. Most of those Brennan consulted believe that if Slater decides to take independent bookings, they will likely be for promotions such as RevPro or NORTH, which is his home promotion.
Brennan also mentioned that a source indicated there has been no communication between Slater and wXw since he withdrew from their Anniversary show in December. He was pulled from that event to participate in WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event, where he teamed with Je’Von Evans against then-World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.
Slater's TNA contract is set to expire later this year, and there is significant interest expected from WWE.
