“But, he’s a former tag-team champion!” Yep, so was David Otunga.
Heath Slater is a tremendous talent, in my opinion. I have always enjoyed the comedic relief that is very much needed in this business. Sadly, I believe that is all WWE thinks Slater has to offer. Heath has been such a good sport, despite the ridiculous angles he has been thrown into.
No matter the situation, he seems to find a way to make the most of it, which is probably the reason he has remained on the payroll for over a decade now. I can only imagine the draw Heath Slater would bring if he were to be booked on some of these independent cards.

Considering how well he interacts with the fans now, I’m sure he would turn that up on the more intimate scale. There’s no shame in being a part of today’s indie scene. Besides, he’s got kids!
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
