AEW Announces Signing Of Top Flight
The brother duo is All Elite...
Five days after impressing fans with their performance against The Young Bucks on AEW Dynamite, Darius and Daunte Martin of the tag team Top Flight have officially signed with the organization.
AEW tweeted the standard "All Elite" graphic on Monday afternoon, writing, "Welcome to the team...#TopFlight Darius & Dante Martin are #AllElite".
Top Flight began teaming together in 2016, for independents in their native Minnesota area. Though they were inactive for much of 2020, the Martins did wrestle for a handful of notable indy organizations, including Ireland's Over the Top in February (as The Flip Bros), the Illinois-based AAW, Game Changer Wrestling, and Black Label Pro.
Top Flight made their AEW debut at the October 21 tapings in Jacksonville, losing to Evil Uno and Stu Grayson on an episode of Dark. They went on to defeat Baron Black and Frankie Thomas on a more recent edition of the show, preceding their match against The Bucks.
Darius is 21 and has wrestled under the name Air Wolf. Daunte is 19 and has used the name Angel Dorado.
