Initially, Darius and Dante Martin took the AEW tag team division by storm. However, an injury forced Darius to the sideline, and his brother started stealing the show, courtesy of his incredible matches.
Darius has been out of action since February. Dante recently provided an update at the Full Gear post-show media scrum:
"He’s been out since about February now. There’s not really a time gauge on when he’s coming back but he’s super excited to be back. Ready to take over the tag team scene and keep Top Flight strong."
In the absence of Darius Martin, his brother Dante had been teaming up with former WWE star Lio Rush. The two men competed side-by-side on Dynamite. However, it will be interesting to see the storyline of Dante betraying Rush unfold, especially when Darius Martin returns to AEW.
