Over the past year Darius Martin, one-half of Top Flight along with Dante Martin, has been out of action after an ACL injury. He suffered the injury earlier this year and underwent surgery for it.
During an interview with AdFreeShows’ Jon Alba conducted after last month’s Full Gear 2021 pay-per-view, Darius has given an update on his recovery and also went into detail about how AEW has helped him during his recovery.
“I’m feeling pretty good, just moving around, taking it day by day, trying to get the clearance again, working my way up and building the strength again. You never want injuries, but I’m thankful it came at a time where I am fortunate enough to have this deal with AEW. AEW has been great to me during it. I really feel all the love and support from them. I’ve been fortunate enough to have that.”
Darius would then go on to reveal that he is on the road to recovery, and would go on to praise Tony Khan and how he treats AEW talent.
“I’m still on the road, they’ve still been paying me. I’m still lucky enough to have that job and financial security because of AEW. It’s a great place and Tony Khan is an amazing boss who really values his employees and treats us like human beings. Tony is the best.”
No timetable has been set for Darius’ return but in his absence, Dante his brother has emerged as a rising star. We will have to wait and see what the future holds for Top Flight upon Darius’ return.
