When the second team was ready to enter the ring, Top Flight&#8217;s music hit. Dante and Darius Martin made their way to the ring for the first time as a team in over a year. The duo last teamed in AEW in February of 2021 in a winning effort on AEW Dark against <strong>Fuego Del Sol<\/strong> and <strong>Jon Cruz.<\/strong> Shortly after that Darius Martin injured his knee and was out of action indefinitely. The last match for the duo was at an F1ST Wrestling show in February of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>In his absence, Dante stayed in AEW and developed his singles career. He shortly joined <strong>Team Taz<\/strong> before double-crossing and making a quick exit from the team. It appears now he will be refocusing on his tag team career with his brother back in action.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on the Tony Khan AEW Revolution media call and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
