Folks, gather around because we’ve got another amazing story of strength, determination, and a whole lot of Brazilian flair. The one and only Tay Melo, a true warrior in and out of the ring, has given us an exciting update on her return to AEW. After spending some time away from the squared circle to focus on the most important job in the world—being a mom—Melo is ready to make her comeback, and it’s going to be yuuuge!
Now, let me tell you, this isn’t just any return. Tay Melo, last seen wrestling in January 2023 for AEW and in Australia in March 2023, took a break from body-slamming and suplexing her opponents to welcome her beautiful daughter, Luna, into the world with her husband, Sammy Guevara. A tremendous couple, by the way. Luna was born in November 2023, and from that moment, Melo has been on a mission to get back into top-notch ring shape.
Recently, rumors started flying about Melo’s return, and during one of Guevara’s famous vlogs, she decided to address the chatter head-on. “You’ve got to call Tony Khan and ask him because I don’t know about that. I’m cleared, though. I’m cleared. Mama is cleared. Just got cleared,” she announced. That’s right, folks—Mama Melo is ready to roll, and the wrestling world better brace itself.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect, with AEW’s women’s division seeing a surge of superstar returns. Britt Baker, the dental dynamo, made her comeback at Forbidden Door, while Jamie Hayter shocked the world at All In: London after 15 months away. And let’s not forget Anna Jay, who’s wrapping up an impressive run in STARDOM’s 5Star Grand Prix tournament. The women’s division is heating up, folks, and with Tay Melo back in action, it’s going to be absolute fire!
So, AEW Universe, get ready because Tay Melo is back, stronger, fiercer, and more determined than ever. Mama Melo is here to show everyone that she’s still got it—and then some!
