TNA Wrestling star Leon Slater spoke with Metro about various topics, including his meeting with top WWE star AJ Styles and the possibility of facing him in a match.

Slater said, โ€œThe fact that he took time out of his day to watch my match and be gracious enough to give me some feedback afterwards was huge for me. So Iโ€™m gonna say when, not if, when it happens. Iโ€™m gonna be ready for it, man, and itโ€™s gonna be fun. Itโ€™s gonna be legendary.โ€

On Trent Seven suggesting the match to Styles:

โ€œI had Trent Seven by the side of me at the time. He was cheeky enough to mention it. I donโ€™t really think he heard him. He was like, โ€œYeah, that would be cool. That would be cool.โ€ But I donโ€™t think heโ€™s too familiar with me โ€“ but he will be.โ€

On wanting to be a wrestler growing up:

โ€œEverybody would either be like, โ€œOh yeah, Iโ€™ll go into bricklaying, Iโ€™ll be a plumber, Iโ€™ll go into electricityโ€. Or like, โ€œmaybe I want to be a footballerโ€™. But I was always like, โ€œhe wants to be around to be a wrestlerโ€. Everybody knows this, from like preschool to secondary school, โ€˜he wants to be a wrestler.’โ€
