The name Iker Navarro is not one wrestling fans outside of Spain will have heard of, but he could be one to make a big name for himself in RevPro in 2025.
The Spanish wrestling scene is quietly growing into one of the strongest in Europe. With the likes of Axion (NXT) and Zozaya (RevPro) making names for themselves in bigger markets, the stage is set for more Spaniards to make an impact in the world of wrestling.
Iker Navarro could be that man. With a chance to face a big American star at RevPro Live in London 92, he has the chance to make his mark in the UK with a huge victory.
But before we get to that, who exactly is the Spanish sensation known as Iker Navarro?
Who Is Iker Navarro?
Iker Navarro is one of Spain’s best professional wrestlers and a future star in the making. Just four years into his career, he has shown he has the talent to go right to the very top of European wrestling.
He is the top star of Revolution Championship Wrestling (RCW, not to be confused with RevPro in England), having held their top title since 2023.
Navarro is built in the mould of a Luke Jacobs-type. He’s big, wide and loves a scrap. His arsenal mainly consists of big suplexes and huge clotheslines, although he’s not averse to pulling out The Worm when he’s feeling particularly cocky.
Despite the occasional dancing, his style is simple. No big risks, nothing too flashing. Just violence, using his big strikers to grind his opponent down. He has won matches with a Boston Crab, a Rikishi Driver and many more moves, showing that the end can come from anywhere when facing El Cazador.
Along with promotions like Resist Pro Wrestling, they have created a blossoming wrestling scene in the Spanish capital that attracts talent from all over Europe.
Iker Navarro is the jewel in Barcelona’s crown. His year-long title reign, which is still ongoing, has seen him defend the RCW Championship all over Spain against a host of top talent.
Beating stars like Michael Oku, Connor Mills and Goldenboy Santos, Navarro has cemented himself as a man to take note of. While his record in the UK is less impressive, he has become “El Famoso” in his home country.
Known as “El Cazardor” (The Hunter), the nickname gives a clear vision of Iker Navarro. He’s a killer in a ring, a hard-hitting, take-no-nonsense grappler who can go with the best of them. He proved it when he beat Undisputed British Heavyweight Champion Michael Oku last year in Spain.
Since winning the RCW Title and putting Spanish wrestling firmly in the spotlight, Navarro has fashioned himself a new name – El Famoso.
It means, as you probably guessed, The Famous. He’s a big star, if not arrogant, and can back up his claims with decisive victories inside the ring.
“El Cazador has not disappeared” Iker Navarro told Pep Shop Collectibles. “But of course, I have won championships. I have done a lot for national wrestling not to call myself El Famoso.”
RevPro Have Put Iker Navarro In Some Big Matches So Far
With his credentials in Spain showing he is El Cazador, Iker Navarro has yet to prove himself in the United Kingdom.
In RevPro, Andy Quildan has booked him in some huge matches. In his three appearances in 2024, El Famoso battled Luke Jacobs, Robbie X and Michael Oku in some brilliant matches.
While he struggled to beat them (even losing to Jacobs in Barcelona), he showed some supreme talent that showed that he belonged among these main eventers.
With a match booked against returning American star 1 Called Manders at RevPro Live in London 92, Iker Navarro has the opportunity to pick up his first win in the British promotion.
It seems as though RevPro have big plans for him. Its unlikely they’d put him against their best wrestlers if he had no future, and with more money available in English wrestling compared to Spain, it would seem a no-brainer to start taking more bookings with the London-based promotion.
2025 could be a huge year for Iker Navarro in RevPro. He has the look, the talent and the opportunity to make his mark next month, but will be hoping that El Cazador doesn’t become Los Cazados against 1 Called Manders.
