Just read up on them, and apparently Miro had a meet and greet and talked about them. "During a recent virtual meet-an-greet, “The Best Man” Miro mentioned a young, athletic tag team from Minnesota that has signed with AEW. He did not mention Top Flight by name, but it sounds like he’s talking about the Martin brothers. Miro touted their athletic ability and said he believes they are the future of tag team wrestling. “One of these kids had like an 80-inch vertical and they’re like 19-years old and they’re moving fluidly and once they find each other, they’re gonna be the future of the tag team division and those are just two guys and we have probably another 15 ready to go.” www.sescoops.com/get-to-know-top-flight-before-aew-dynamite-debut-against-young-bucks/Something to note is how young many on the roster are. Majority of the signed roster is 25 or younger with Darius the youngest at 19. Actually, he isn't. Kenzie Paige is still 18, and Elayna Black is also 19 if she were to sign full time. Yeah think about that.

For all that I think AEW should snap up both of them if at all possible, they each seem to have other options if they want them - especially Kenzie Paige. Impact might just decide that the distinction of "Jordynne Grace's favorite opponent" is worth throwing money at despite her age.

Kenzie looked like she was signed to a developmental deal, I thought she'd been training at the Nightmare Factory but I could be wrong, Black's one of those girls they could definitely try and sure up for the future, same with Paige if she in fact isn't signed yet.

Hard to say, but she gets a lot fewer AEW jobber spots than King and Jordyn while hustling on the indies. I just wouldn't take her for granted until she gets a graphic or becomes a more regular fixture.

I saw that Black got a WWE tryout so she might end up there.

Match told a really good story. They played the young upstarts that are under estimated by the vets story really well.

I was at the shows where they graduated the Wrestling Academy and got their certificates.
They've been so, so good for so, so long. Seeing them shine the way they did tonight was absolutely incredible.
If you was to see more of their work, they wrestle under masks as "Flip Brothers."
I also want to point out that they were trained by Arik Cannon. JR on commentary only mentioned Mr. Anderson/Kennedy and Molly Holly, but from what I've seen Arik played a big part as well.
Speaking of which, given Black Friday sales are around the corner, take a look at Top Flight's home promotion F1rst Wrestling. Fantastic shows, especially the Wrestlepalooza events.

I really can't get over how good these two were. And being this good at 19 and 21. These two have something and I'm usually not one to say sign this person or that person since their roster is pretty big as it is but goddamn, sign these dudes asap.

Wait Top Flight wasn't signed already? Sounds like they were, actually, per a Miro interview where he said "Two athletic kids from Minnesota". Just a graphic pending I think

They are so f***ing natural that you'd think they'd been doing this about 10 years more than what they'd said. Dudes are only about 10 and 8 years younger than me and it's insane that they're only gonna get better. Those guys are gonna be stars.

These guys were definitely among the conversation of stands out at The Collective, and it's no coincidence that a lot of footage from their hype video came from those shows. Dante Martin also worked MLW for a time under the Air Wolf persona. It was a matter of time before they caught some eyes.
Also a nice pick up to help AEW in their long-standing diversity problem.

Not to be ignored on that front they have also signed: Jade Cargill, Red Velvet, The Acclaim, Will Hobbs, and Lee Johnson to official deals, while giving other young black talent an opportunity in matches, like Ashton Starr, who I really wanna see again, he'd fit perfectly with Janela and Kiss (And becoming a trio is a hot thing right now )

No official word yet of them being signed Probably waiting, but if Miro said they signed a young team from Minnesota and one of them has like an 80 inch vertical... it's definitely indicitive that they've been signed Probably just waiting for a day to announce it.

This was a great f***ing match. Full stop.
But then I got REAL SAD when I realized I’m 3 years older than both of the guys in Top Flight are. Combined.
GodDAMNIT!

I am sure they have a deal in some form and are just working on a full time contract. The Twitter graphic can sometimes take a few weeks. I mean, Sydal just got his and he was beating signed talent left and right on DARK for a couple of months.

I mean, Sydal just got his and he was beating signed talent left and right on DARK for a couple of months. It all depends on things I guess. The Acclaimed had their graphic immediately after their first win, while wrestlers who are presumably signed like Hirsch and Top Flight are waiting I also like to think they space the announcements out, wait for a good opportunity, but AEW's probably smart to lock them into a deal, I think they learned when WWE tried to poach Kingston that if they're gonna showcase most people they should be ready

It's also worth noting that sometimes, people have been on a "5 matches" or whatever deal, and then signed after, like FTR were, so it could be the case with some of them.

Top Flight have had three matches so maybe. I guess we'll know if we see em on DARK Personally I'd love to see them vs Hybrid 2 after what happened on Dynamite... I'd tune in for that match alone
