Leon Slater Becomes Youngest TNA X-Division Champion Ever At TNA Slammiversary
Leon Slater captured the TNA X-Division Championship at TNA Slammiversary, defeating Moose.
The finish saw Leon hit a swanton from across the ring and follow up with his trademark swanton 450.

During the match, Leon hit the swanton 450 after a spear, but Moose managed to kick out, much to the dismay of the crowd. Moose was able to recover and hit a spear, but Leon showed great ring awareness by rolling out of the ring. On the outside, Leon caught Moose with a code red to turn the tide of the contest.
