Tragedy struck during the Reach for the Sky ladder match for the vacant ROH World Tag Team Titles at the ROH Supercard of Honor event, leaving fans and wrestlers alike reeling from the sudden turn of events. Top Flight’s Dante Martin suffered a devastating foot/ankle injury that left him stretchered out of the arena. Tony Khan has now confirmed Dante Martin was taken to the hospital.
The injury happened in the closing moments of the intense match, as Dante Martin attempted a daring Canadian Destroyer spot off a ladder bridge and through stacked tables placed in the outside area. Unfortunately, the move didn’t go as planned and Dante Martin landed awkwardly, resulting in a painful injury.
While speaking during the post-event media scrum, ROH owner Tony Khan confirmed Dante Martin’s injury but refrained from commenting on the extent of it.
”Dante is in pain, but I’m wishing the best for him. We’re all praying for Dante. He’s an amazing wrestler. Obviously, his brother has been through serious injuries and missed time. We love Darius, too, and missed him when he was out. I guess Dante will also be out of action for some time.”
Tony Khan
It is certainly unfortunate that Dante Martin had to suffer such an injury at the event. We wish the young talent a speedy recovery and hope he can return to doing what he loves the most as soon as possible.
