KC Navarro earns TNA International Championship match
Mustafa Ali is set to defend his TNA International Championship against KC Navarro.
On Thursday, during the May 28, 2026, episode of TNA Impact, Navarro pinned reigning champion Mustafa Ali in the Champions Challenge match to earn himself a title shot.
The match featured all current champions (Mike Santana, Mustafa Ali, The System, & Cedric Alexander) against the challengers (Elijah, Leon Slater, Navarro, Frankie Kazarian, & Eric Young). The match stipulated that if a challenger were able to pin one of the champions, they would earn themselves a future title match.
The finishing moments of the match saw Leon Slater hit Ali with a superkick and tag in Navarro, who followed it up with Blessing in Disguise for the victory.
Ali won the TNA International title earlier this year in April, 2026 and has been in several title matches since then. While Navarro earned himself a title shot, a date for the match has not been finalized yet.
