Leon Slater signs long-term contract with TNA Wrestling

One of the United Kingdom’s top up-and-coming wrestlers has signed a contract with TNA Wrestling.

At Impact Wrestling’s UK Invasion tour show in Coventry on Saturday, it was announced that the 19-year-old Leon Slater has signed a long-term contract with TNA. Slater made his Impact Wrestling debut on night one of the tour this past Thursday.

Slater signed his TNA contract in the ring at Saturday’s show. He faced Frankie Kazarian at the event.

Earlier this month, Slater was crowned the winner of Revolution Pro Wrestling’s British J-Cup tournament. He also made his NJPW debut this month, competing at Royal Quest III in London. IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Clark Connors & Drilla Moloney retained their titles against Slater & Cameron Khai.

TNA Wrestling will make its return starting with Hard to Kill 2024 in January. The name changed was revealed at the end of Impact’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view last weekend.

It was announced this Tuesday that PCO has signed a new contract to remain with TNA. That was touted as the first signing of the new era of TNA Wrestling.
