KC Navarro Says He Was Supposed To Be Out Of Action For A Year, Got Cleared Three To Four Months Early

KC Navarro came back earlier that he was supposed to.

Fans were shocked when Navarro returned to TNA at the Rebellion pay-per-view earlier this month. Just a few days later, Navarro was able to win his first match back, as he defeated AJ Francis in singles action.

Speaking with Denise Salcedo on the latest episode of Busted Open After Dark, Navarro revealed that he was cleared about three to four months early.

“It was a long road, eight months. I was supposed to to be out for a year, but I got cleared about three to four months early. I’m very blessed for that, it was a lot of hard work. It probably wasn’t until the three month mark where it was like really hard, because that’s when I started walking again. You start to feel normal but I’m also very far away from naturally coming back.”

Navarro also credited Elayna Black for having his back while he was recovering from injury.

“Around that time is when I met Elayna. She had a similar injury when she was in NXT, so to have somebody like that have my back and be able to counsel me through all this and have my back and just be there for me every step of the way, it’s been a blessing man. I’m so grateful for her and I’m so grateful to be back. The crowd was there for me, everybody was happy I was back. I beat AJ Francis that Thursday, I’m on fire right now.”
