00:00Time for our main event as the X-Division title is on the line.
00:06Leon Slater puts it all on the line up against the Rascals, Myron Reed.
00:12As we get set for our main event here at Victory Road,
00:16let's take a look at the X-Factors between Slater and Reed.
00:21Reed were a four-way matchup weeks ago on Impact to earn this title shot.
00:25Leon Slater has not lost a singles match in TNA Wrestling in five months.
00:31We can confirm that the winner of this matchup
00:34will represent the X-Division Championship at Vound for Glory.
00:55The Rascals run strong, they run deep.
01:11Tyron Reed escorted out here by his brothers to wish him well.
01:17the rascals run strong they run deep but this one is all on the shoulders of a young goat
01:27it was just a few months ago that myron reese stepped in for an injured trey miguel
01:32at slam-a-versary in a four-team match-up for the tna world tag team titles the opportunity
01:39of a lifetime there have been many in tna wrestling and in the pro wrestling world as a whole
01:45wondering when myron reed was going to get his singles opportunity i mentioned it earlier on
01:53tonight this is the first time in over a year and a half that the x division championship is
01:59main eventing a tna live special this is proof of the hard work and dedication myron reed has put in
02:15myron reed is stepping in that ring with one of the fastest rising stars
02:43in the entire world of professional wrestling the youngest in charge and he's called that for a
02:51reason the confidence and the professionalism the presence this young man carries himself with
02:59is unmatched in this business in my opinion
03:02leon slater is the future of tna wrestling but you have to understand what this man fights for
03:12he will turn 21 years old tomorrow we've talked about it a number of times he started training at
03:19the age of nine under his mother's supervision his father left when leon slater was very young
03:26we've heard from him recently on impact on tna social and digital platforms leon spoke to you and
03:32earlier on today that he said because of what i experienced with my father in my upbringing i have
03:38made it my mission in professional wrestling to never be forgotten i will be remembered
03:45so far so good if you ask me slater looks to add to that legacy add to that resume tonight in the main event
03:57the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the tna exhibition championship
04:18introducing first the challenger representing the rascals from louisville kentucky weighing in at 185 pounds
04:33and his opponent from bradford england weighing in at 198 pounds he is the tna x division champion
04:56champion leon slater
05:0323 years ago the x division championship was introduced as the signature title of tna wrestling
05:19it's not about weight limits it's about no limits and it's safe to say there are no limits
05:25there are no limits as to what leon slater and myron reid are capable of in their careers and especially
05:31in our main event tonight at victory road
05:34what an opportunity ahead of these two young stars on the path to bow for glory
05:46e
05:50a
05:54myron reed reminding slater what it's all about slater all too aware i appreciate that attitude for myron reed
05:57myron re reminding slater what it's all about slater all too aware i appreciate that attitude
06:04from myron reed i mean this is i believe you said this is leon slater's first singles main event
06:10here in this company yes on a tna lock special that's right and from myron reed it's his first
06:16main event with tna wrestling here there's a lot of pressure but i appreciate the bravado i
06:21appreciate the confidence you have to come into a matchup like this with that if you waver you will
06:27fall a lot of people ask what is tna wrestling all about in this year of resurgence for our company
06:35this is what it's all about this type of opportunity for two young stars who will
06:40light up the screen light up the ring no doubt about it people have made their legacies made
06:48their careers in the x division for a reason
06:51i don't think i'm speaking out of turn when i say aj styles is who he is because of the x division
07:00completely right the very first x division champion as i mentioned 23 years ago in
07:06huntsville alabama great x division champions the likes of chris saban samoa joe frankie kazarian
07:14we saw earlier on tonight trevor lee amazing red jay lethal the list goes on and on and of course
07:21i'd be remiss the other two rascals of trey miguel and zachary wentz that has bothered myron reed he
07:30wants to join that company but speaking of being bothered phil leon slater ticked off that he
07:36got into that situation there against myron reed we talked about that attitude leon slater comes
07:42into these matches with yeah he he feels it's not a desperation but a must win and a must go forward
07:50kind of attitude he does not like being pushed back into a corner quite literally backed up into a
07:56corner now here by re the referee separating these two champions advantage goes to leon slater in this
08:02matchup oh and that is not going to sit well with the youngest in charge
08:08oh reed tried to big brother leon slater and the champion's not going to take that
08:14you talked about not wanting to be forgotten i mean it's been a phenomenal run so far but it still feels
08:21like the beginning for leon slater if he wants it to be me myron reed's got nothing to lose here
08:27everything to gain in this main event that is when wrestlers are at the most dangerous
08:33absolutely whoa off of the ropes nice connection there by reed
08:41and so you have to ask the question will that desperation
08:46to never be forgotten could it be the undoing of leon slater in a certain scenario could tonight be
08:53that scenario slater being the aggressor of the early going there oh man read it connected with
09:00that lung blower moments ago but slater got it with the single leg drop kick next slater on the move
09:05bring really down to the floor
09:12you can see it you can feel it radiating off leon slater that confidence that aggression
09:23if i can put into perspective the dedication of leon slater we take a look back here what happened
09:28moments ago take a look slater meeting iron reed at the ropes dive into the floor taking out the
09:36competition we're here tonight edmonton alberta canada leon slater makes his home in bradford england
09:43he traveled almost exactly 24 hours to get here an hour drive from bradford to manchester manchester
09:53flight to london delays there flew to toronto delays there got here to edmonton had to get here a full
09:58date early just to attempt to accolade to the time zone can you imagine the dedication for an athlete
10:05persevere through those situations and to continue on to carry on and get better and better throughout
10:10that process well yes i mean i i've been that athlete at times flying across the world having
10:16to land and then run right to his show and wrestle it's hard i've never had the main event
10:21a pay-per-view defending a prestigious title i will i will say that so it is another level here
10:27for leon slater as he rains down upon myron reed it is no easy feat though i can tell you that for
10:36any athlete and slater is more than rising to the occasion leon slater with a cross body
10:43he projected himself there kick out at one by reed and look at the expression on slater's face perturbed
10:50by that and again this attitude this confidence of myron reed i'm not going to say it's getting to
10:56slater but i think it's maybe just a hair more than he anticipated out of the young go up onto the
11:02shoulders is trying to set up for utopia perhaps shoulders down reed trying to win the title
11:08what a coup this would be on the path to bow for glory it's two weeks away from sunday live in
11:13lowell massachusetts all right now whoa oh got him hold on reed reed trying to stack him up trying to
11:22press the shoulders down slater able to escape the speed at which myron reed was able to just make
11:28the center of the ring and then hit that unreal timing watch this one more time leon slater caught
11:40with this rana and slater still found a way to power out we're gonna push off of the body of reed
11:49and that kick moments later by the young goat flattening the champion
11:52now the window of opportunity is wide open to myron reed here what's he going to do to take advantage
12:08well now reed able to sidestep him connects with the back of the neck did that earlier on in the
12:13matchup that really ticked off slater great wherewithal again from reed up and over slater
12:20try to bait him there it looked like saw it coming
12:26tit for tat miss for miss count
12:30reed dazing slater
12:37now reed loading oh just launching slater off the rebound scrambles into the cover trying to win
12:45the x division title and the x division title and a kick out heavy bomb there from myron reed
12:52but the youngest in charge staying in the matchup
13:05capacity crowd here inside the edmonton expo center in edmonton alberta canada
13:11first time ever tna wrestling has ever made it all the way up here to edmonton what a reception we've
13:16had this evening live for victory road
13:23oh off the top trying to set up slater usually goes for a face buster there
13:29slater had it scouted slater one of the crossover
13:33again reed able to oh he caught him oh he caught him trying to hit it trying to hit it oh utopia
13:43with a couple extra spins is it enough oh and somehow myron reed kicked down and that's where
13:50leon slater can shine above so many others he's got the athleticism but he has this strength that you'd
13:57never expect out of the youngest in charge watch this the way reed just leaps and caught on the
14:05shoulder of slater unreal balance power and ability myron reed had connected with offense earlier on in
14:13the matchup from that same type of situation and again slater is adapting as this match goes on
14:20it's not that he's manipulating myron reed but he is baiting him at select points in time he's
14:27learning from his mistakes as the match goes on and that's what makes a champion that's what holds on
14:33to titles so here's a football analogy it's like a quarterback baiting a safety trying to get him to
14:38move one play of one direction so he can complete a pass in another direction it's brilliant
14:43now slater getting out of dodge not wasting any time but reed what is it oh right to the face
14:53there by slater i don't know what reed had in mind but it backfires and now fell out of the ring
15:00much of the chagrin of the champion of course the advantage to slater yeah but that's not slater
15:10it's not slater's game i completely agree with you
15:16oh wait a second he's got his eyes on that corner here we go big play slater
15:24right in front of the timekeeper's table
15:29and immediately not wasting any time rolling him right in this could be the closing moment
15:34slater going to the top rope is it time for the swan time 450
15:43roll through reed able to escape just for a moment lag lariat by slater reed inside out
15:51this is the most aggressive version of slater we've seen as champion oh my god both men to the
16:03outside slater still got him oh stun dog millionaire good god
16:09what the hell did we just witness
16:21holy holy hell what a sequence so roll through the counter the suplex to the outside to the floor to
16:29slater to the setup to the stun dog my god this is what pro wrestling's all about for crying out loud
16:36what an opportunity for these young stars in the main event of victory road just when you thought
16:44the game couldn't be changed meet myron reed and leon slater myron reed landing middle of the range slater
16:51evading very smart getting himself outside of the ropes taking himself away from danger
16:56if anything just for a moment both guys continue into it oh flame on
17:04the cutter from reed to the outside
17:15reed once again big risk big reward
17:18move 450 that's how he won the number one contendership can he take advantage though
17:26damage to the midsection just by hitting that 450 now trying to get into position cover
17:34oh and a kick out that extra second that extra solitary second it took reed
17:41to get to the cover was all leon slater needed
17:54now reed trying to figure out a way to take the extitution title from leon slater
18:03both these guys have been adapting to each other
18:07that's been the game of slater in this matchup for reed it's about hitting the biggest bomb possible
18:14and look at leon slater he's back up to his feet he's taking a lot of damage but he's shaking his head
18:19you and i know slater well enough oh you better look out he's the nicest young man i've ever met in my
18:26life backstage but when that bell rings you have a warrior on your hands go for the leg low read like
18:33it's the matrix oh my god he got him on the counter the timing is perfect
18:42reed backed up slater into the corner now up to the top turnbuckle
18:48the damage has been done to the midsection the core the lower back it appears
18:52on myron reed in the course of this bout you can see reed and up top it got turned around slater
19:01countered it that twisting suplex out of the corner into the center
19:05and now slater once again looking to take advantage put it all the way down it is down both men
