KC Navarro is among the rising talents on the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) roster and has been in the championship conversation since he returned from a serious knee injury.

Navarro was out for several months recovering from a torn ACL he suffered last year. He told Fox News Digital in a recent interview he was feeling good and that his match against A.J. Francis was the first time he felt back to his true self.

“I’m doing great. If you were to ask me when I first came back, I was definitely a little nervous, which everybody kind of told me, hey, when you come back from an ACL your first year, you’re going to kind of be like, ‘ah.’ But I think by the time I wrestled A.J. Francis in the street fight was the first time I really felt like myself,” he said. “And then when I wrestled (Mustafa) Ali for the international title, I was like, ‘Oh, yeah. I’m definitely back.’ So, the confidence is back. I’m feeling great. I’m doing good.

“Shout out to Hospital for Special Surgery over in New York City. They took care of me. They got me back really quick. I got back in a record time of like eight months or so. Actually, I really got cleared in seven, but I returned to TV in eight. But I’m feeling really good. I’m feeling stronger, and I’m ready to do some amazing things now.”

Navarro has recently challenged for the X Division Championship and the International Championship and while both were in losing efforts, his prowess in the ring has pushed him forward toward a possible TNA World Championship shot against Nic Nemeth.

Nemeth defeated Mike Santana for the TNA world title at Slammiversary. Nemeth has seemingly ended his friendship with Navarro has he took his place at the top of TNA.

A possible match could be on the horizon when Lockdown takes place on Aug. 23 at the Credit Union Arena in Chicago. It will be the first Lockdown in more than 10 years.

“A lot of cage matches,” he told Fox News Digital when asked what fans can expect from Lockdown. “It’s going to be nuts. I think it’s also going to be really cool because it was such a historic match in TNA.

“So, for it to be back, I think is very special and I think it’s going to be a lot of people’s first time in a cage. I know it’s going to be my first time in a cage. I’ve never been in a cage. I think all the titles are going to be on the line as well, which is also really, really cool. And it’s in Chicago, which is such a phenomenal wrestling city. So, I think the place is going to be loud. It’s going to be jam-packed and it’s going to be definitely must see for sure.”

For now, Navarro continues to emerge as a main event player on “Impact.”

He shared his reasons for why pro wrestling fans should keep tuning into the show on Thursday nights on AMC.

“Well, I think TNA is special because you got so many talents from so many different generations. You got people that are new, people that have been on the rise, that are up and coming that just never got a chance,” Navarro said. “People that were at other places that never got a chance that finally be able to showcase who they really are.

“And then you got legends like the Hardys, Nic Nemth, Frankie Kazarian, guys that have done it and been to the top of their game. And we all get to work together to do such an amazing thing on such an amazing platform. And I feel like we don’t really miss when it comes to shows and pay-per-views. I feel like we get new stories, something really fresh, that’s not seen. And that’s why I really think that people should continue to tune in.”
