Summary

This week on “Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia,” Lilian sits down with former WWE Tag Team Champion, Heath Slater. Just days after his unforeseen WWE release, Heath speaks out about his current situation and how he’s staying POSITIVE and OPTIMISTIC toward his future. He talks about how he is THANKFUL for his 14 years in the WWE but also being burnt out at the WWE. Heath talks if he’s motivated by the success of his fellow 3MB members, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre as well as why he’s always wanted to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Heath gets personal as he opens up about growing up with a single mother on welfare and how not having his father in his life has molded him into the person that he has become. He talks about ALMOST meeting his father when he confused him for a former WWE/WCW wrestler and if he’s had the need to reach out to his father or his half-sister. Heath shares how he is looking forward to where he sees himself in a few years and just how MOTIVATED he is after getting his release. All this and so much more including a CHASING GLORY EXCLUSIVE on why the number 22 is extremely important in his life. It’s about to get real, raw, and inspiring with Heath Slater.
