KC Navarro explains why he wants to face Roman Reigns.
Navarro has continued to establish himself as a rising force in TNA for almost a year at this point, wrestling names like Steve Maclin, Mike Santana, Laredo Kid, and Eric Young along the way.
Now, as 2025 begins to ramp up, Navarro is looking at the future, noting that he wants to wrestle Roman Reigns one day while speaking to Josh Martinez of Z100 for a new interview.
“I would love for it to happen one day. I don’t think it’ll be tomorrow, but I think one day I’d love to go against Roman Reigns. That’s my guy. That’s the one guy that I feel like for me to have my story finished, cause he was the guy that inspired me as a kid, he sat me down and stopped this whole meet and greet for five minutes in Brooklyn to speak to me and motivate me. I feel like it has to be Roman Reigns.”
Navarro continued on and detailed his meeting with Reigns.
“[I was] sixteen. I went up to him and I started crying because a year prior, I met him for the first time and he just told me to chase my dreams then. Then a few months later I started wrestling and then a year later, I won my first title. It was very motivating for me and when I met him that time, it was like all the emotions came and hit me at one time and then he made the woman stop the whole meet and greet to get me a chair, sit me down, and he was like, ‘Look man, a lot of people don’t believe in me now. They’re booing me out of the building, I’m positioned to be the guy, nobody wants to see me be the guy but I believe in myself. You have to believe in yourself because one day I’m going to be running this place and I believe one day, that if you truly believe in yourself, you’ll be taking my spot and you’ll be running it. So just keep going, keep pushing, and don’t let anything stand in your way.’ He obviously said other things but that was like the main thing I took from that. To see him now, he wasn’t lying to me when I was 16. I mean, the guy is the guy in our business, he is the number one. So, Roman Reigns is definitely that guy.”
