Leon Slater Wins X-Division Title, AJ Styles Puts Him Over In Return To TNA Slammiversary

At that point, Styles walked out to his old TNA music as the audience roared. Styles asked the audience if they missed him and commented on the record setting audience before turning his attention to Slater.

As the audience chanted "you deserve it" at Slater, Styles walked over to him and told him that he earned it. Styles said that he defied the odds when he won the X-Dvision Championship and helped carry the company from that division with talent like Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, and others.

Styles told Slater that as champion, he needs to start carving out his own legacy within the company. The audience interrupted Styles with a "one more match" chant. Styles addressed it by saying he'd get back to them on it, but never did. Styles posed on the ring ropes and the entrance ramp before walking through the curtain.
