Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan reported that his sources stated that the reason for Leon Slater’s current abscense from the indies since this past November is due to him intentionally limiting his indies bookings due to him approaching a major moment in his wrestling career. Brennan reported that the current belief from promoters and talents in the British and European wrestling scene is that Slater is protecting his value during a contract year. Those spoken to reportedly believe that if Slater makes a return to the indies scene again, it will likely be for Revolution Pro Wrestling or his home promotion of NORTH. Brennan reported that the current belief from those spoken to is that Slater will have major interest from WWE for a potential contract once his current deal with TNA Wrestling expires later this year.

Awesome Championship Wrestling recently announced that Steph De Lander will be making an appearance at their Aftershock event on March 14th in Poughkeepsie, New York.

As noted before, Mance Warner and Steph De Lander departed from TNA Wrestling earlier this month over issues related to TNA refusing to clear De Lander to return from her neck injury and telling her that she would never be able to wrestle for the promotion again. In a recent interview with Fightful, De Lander revealed that her contract with TNA was set to expire this June prior to her departure from the company. De Lander stated “I think every case is different. I think in this situation, I asked for my release immediately and I had it the next day. I think they probably knew that it was also in their best interest to not try to keep me locked in. Because also if they were gonna keep me locked in for another three months, because my deal was up in June, are they paying me for the rest of the time, for each day that there is? Like what happens there? We had the conversation, I asked my release, so did Mance, we got the papers the next day. There’s no ‘no compete’ or anything like that. We are completely free out and ready to go. That has been good, at least.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
