KC Navarro has a long road ahead of him to get back in the ring.

The TNA wrestler suffered a torn ACL in the four-way tag team title ladder match at Slammiversary. He revealed the injury at the following day’s TV tapings and was kicked out of First Cla$$ by AJ Francis in a segment that aired on last week’s show.

Navarro announced he’s having surgery today, writing:

“Today is the Day…I love you all…I hope you all support me through this! 1 year Plus of recovery but im ready to work hard and become the best version of myself💯 2026 you will all meet the REAL KC Navarro‼️ In FIR$T CLA$$ I was led by darkness…Now I’ll be brought back by the LIGHT🙏🏽 See you all soon💯 John 13:7”

In the video, Navarro says:

“You guys saw what happened on Impact. It was unfortunate, but now it’s time to start the road to recovery and to get back and show the world what I’m truly capable of.”

“To anybody I’m letting down, I’m sorry, but I know one thing that keeps me positive is that God has a plan for everything, and there’s a reason why this is all happening, and there’s a reason why God wants this to happen.”

Navarro signed a multi-year contract with TNA Wrestling last October. He also spent a year and a half with MLW from early 2021 to mid-2022 and attended a WWE tryout in late 2022.

Up next for TNA is Emergence on Friday night at the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, and a TV taping the following day at the same venue.
