Tony Khan announces a dream match between AEW star and Dante Martin
AEW President Tony Khan recently took to Twitter to announce an upcoming dream match. Top Flight member Dante Martin will face Rey Fenix in this week's Dynamite.
Fenix recently returned to the active pro-wrestling scene after recovering from a dislocated elbow back in January. While he has been away, his teammate Penta Oscuro has been performing in several singles matches.
Dante Martin has also been forced to mostly be on his own due to his brother Darius Martin being out of action again recently. The latter previously suffered a torn ACL in February 2021, which kept him sidelined for more than a year.
Now that Rey Fenix has returned, he will be squaring off against Dante Martin for a spot in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, as announced by Tony Khan:
"Tomorrow night on @TBSNetwork, we have a dream match with a spot in the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Cup Tournament on the line as @lucha_angel1 will battle @ReyFenixMx! Dante Martin vs. Rey Fenix Tomorrow night on Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite on TBS @ 8pm ET/7pm CT!"
