Speaking of acts that are coming into their own.

Darius being back in the frame is very good news for Dante Martin. Together, Top Flight have the chops to become future AEW Tag-Team Champs (it'll be a shocker if they don't get a shot at the belts by summer). They were awesome against The Young Bucks on this week's Rampage.

The Jackson boys won the match, which was the right call, but not before making Dante and Darius look like the team of All Elite's future. Sure, this was a typical OTT match involving the Bucks, and yet it totally worked because Top Flight are capable of doing pretty much anything between those ropes.

That opener was a borderline-pay-per-view quality showing which you need to go out of your way to see. Remember this match when Top Flight are ruling the tag ranks over the next few years. One gets the impression that they're only just scratching the surface of their combined potential.
