Tay Melo Set for In-Ring Return After 17-Month Hiatus – AEW star Tay Melo, who has been absent from television for over a year, is gearing up for her return to the ring. After being sidelined by a back injury and later taking maternity leave to welcome her first child with husband Sammy Guevara in November, Melo has been gradually preparing for her comeback.
Melo recently confirmed in one of Guevara’s vlogs that she is medically cleared to wrestle. Her last match was in March 2023 at NEW Wrestlefest XXVII, where she competed in a mixed tag team bout. However, she hasn’t wrestled in AEW since January 2023, marking a 17-month hiatus from in-ring action.
Today, it was announced that Melo will make her return at the STARDOM New Year Dream 2025 event. She is set to team with Mina Shirakawa in a high-profile tag match against Athena and Thekla. This marks an exciting opportunity for Melo to reestablish herself on the international stage.
While her participation in the STARDOM show is confirmed, it remains unclear when she will make her official return to AEW programming. Fans have already begun speculating about potential storylines and matchups as she transitions back into the AEW women’s division.
Melo’s comeback signifies a fresh chapter in her career, and her return to the ring is highly anticipated by fans eager to see her once again in action.
