Leon Slater is doing fine after a scary-looking dive at TNA Rebellion had fans concerned for his well-being.
Slater was one of six competitors in the Ultimate X match that took place at TNA Rebellion. There, he competed against Moose, KC Navarro, Matt Cardona, El Hijo del Vikingo and Sidney Akeem for the X Division title. At one point in the match, Leon Slater climbed the X structure and did a senton 450º splash on the floor towards all of his opponents.
Normally, Slater would be caught by his opponents on the way down. However, a miscommunication or poor placement led to Slater crashing down hard and hitting the floor without anything to break his fall.
