The AEW roster gets bigger by the day, and it’s getting harder and harder to get a big push because of this. However, AEW owner Tony Khan is waiting to push someone who is still out with an injury. In early 2021, Top Flight was signed to AEW – and while Dante Martin became a star, Darius Martin is set for big things upon his return.
Tony Khan Tells Fans To Keep An Eye On Darius Martin
This was revealed by Tony Khan, during a recent interview with Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS. He’d have the following to say about young Darius Martin.
“I think for a variety of reasons, there’s a number of people I’m excited to feature in the coming year. For example, it was completely out of everyone’s control, but Darius Martin has been out injured and I think he’s tremendous. I would love to get him back soon and teaming with his brother, Dante. Dante has become a big star and I think they were tremendous as a tag team.
When the injury happened, Darius was 21 and Dante was 19. Now Dante is 20 and has been featured so much on Dynamite and Rampage and has now been a main eventer on Dynamite. When Darius comes back, I think he’s somebody that could come in and be great for us. So I’m really excited about him in particular. That’s an important name to keep an eye on.”
Dante Martin Was Never Expected To Be The Standout Of Top Flight
While both halves of Top Flight are undoubtedly talented – fans had expected Darius Martin to be the breakout star of the group. Dante Martin had the better vertical leap, but Darius has the potential to be the best high flier of this generation. He was getting a lot of hype on the indies prior to being signed to AEW. Comparisons to Hayabusa & PAC were common, which is ungodly high praise for a 21 year old.
His brother has now gotten a year headstart, but we can expect Darius to hit the ground running. With such high praise coming to both, it wouldn’t be a shock to see Top Flight as AEW World Tag Team Champions by this time next year. The AEW tag team division is going to be better than ever, with Top Flight returning, reDRagon in the mix, and The Briscoes potentially on their way.
