TNA Wrestling has released a statement confirming that KC Navarro, a prominent member of the First Class, has signed a long-term contract with the organization.
Navarro has gained recognition as AJ Francis’ tag partner in the past weeks.
Here is the official announcement:
“TNA Wrestling is excited to announce that we have secured a multi-year agreement with KC Navarro, as exclusively revealed by Sports Illustrated.
The 25-year-old wrestling enthusiast, born in Miami and currently residing in New Jersey, initiated his professional wrestling career as a high school sophomore at age 15. Prior to his contract with TNA, Navarro has been a champion in several independent wrestling promotions and also worked for AEW.
Here is some additional information on KC Navarro:
Navarro began wrestling for TNA at the IMPACT! One Night Only: New Beginnings event in February 2019. His performance in the following months saw him compete at TNA IMPACT! Turning Point later the same year. He also participated in the 2021 IMPACT! Super X Cup Tournament.
He has also participated in wrestling matches in countries including Australia, Canada, and England. As a school-going child, he was tormented for his love of professional wrestling. His introduction to wrestling came from his father who served in the United States Army. Watching wrestling helped him feel connected to his father when he was away. Navarro fondly recalls his father attending one of his TNA matches in San Antonio in September.
Navarro’s professional wrestling idols include Roman Reigns, The Rock, Randy Orton, John Cena, Nic Nemeth, and Matt Cardona.
In his career, he has wrestled several former X-Division Champions, which include Mustafa Ali, Brian Cage, Amazing Red, Eric Young, Zachary Wentz, Chris Bey, Ace Austin, Trey Miguel, and Rich Swann.
Recognizably, he teamed up with AJ Francis on Fir$t Cla$$. He is 5’6” in height.
Outside the ring, Navarro assisted children with special needs at the Bright Beginnings Learning Center. He graduated from Metuchen High School in New Jersey in 2017.
Navarro is an earnest Miami Heat enthusiast, frequently seen at NBA courtside seats.
In his personal life, he’s an avid fan of the Terrifier movie franchise.
Look out for Navarro and the rest of the TNA Wrestling stars entertaining audiences at the Wayne State University Fieldhouse in Detroit on the weekend of October 26-27.
