Fans haven’t seen Darius Martin of Top Flight on AEW TV for weeks now. In a recent interview, AEW star Malakai Black revealed why the tag team has been sidelined.

According to Black, Darius was involved in a car accident that led to him being sidelined from the ring. This shocking news was revealed by Black on the latest episode of The Universal Wrestling Podcast.

“I’ve wrestled Dante Martin but his brother, unfortunately–I wish him a speedy recovery, he had a really nasty car accident. He’s out for another, like six to nine months.”

Black just causally shared the health update on Martin while he was talking about working with the other half of the Top Flight, who is also Darius’ brother. It appears the accident was really bad for him to be out for almost a year. Thankfully he is safe.

We wish Darius nothing but a fast recovery and he hopefully takes all the time needed to get back on his feet. Even when he does he’ll have to work to get fit before he can make his appearance on AEW again.
