KC NAVARRO SIGNS WITH TNA
- Rob Crowther, Editor In Chief
TNA Wrestling is now officially blessed, with the signing of indie darling, 25 year-old KC Navarro. The multi-year deal signing was made public earlier this afternoon in an exclusive report by Sports Illustrated. The Best of the Blessed pro wrestler recently stepped in as AJ Francis' impromptu partner, for the time being, replacing Rich Swann in Fir$t Cla$$. Navarro has absolutely shined in the role ever since, participating in marquee matches with the likes of Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Joe Hendry, Nic Nemeth and more.
Navarro, our BCP+ Indie Male Wrestler of 2023, has been wrestling since the age of 15, traveling across the world, and winning championships ever since. Navarro shined in notable rivalries with Matt Cardona, Lio Rush, Jordan Oliver, Brian Cage, Tasha Steelz, and more. The Blessed One has also had one of the arguably best AEW Dark matches of all time against Rey Fenix.
