Tay Melo AEW Release – Tay Melo’s tenure with AEW has officially concluded, as the former star has been removed from the promotion’s active roster page.
The development follows reports from earlier in the summer indicating that Melo had requested her release from the company. AEW owner Tony Khan subsequently addressed the situation during a media scrum, confirming that Melo had asked to step away from in-ring competition following a tag team match alongside Anna Jay against Divine Dominion.
Although Khan stated an intention to grant the release, Melo later clarified to supporters that she has not formally retired from professional wrestling.
Career Background and Tenure Highlights
Melo began her professional wrestling journey under the WWE banner, performing on the NXT brand as Taynara Conti before her departure in April 2020. She debuted with AEW later that year in August, eventually signing a full-time contract in September 2020.
During her six-year run with the promotion, Melo became a prominent fixture of the women’s division:
- In-Ring Milestones: While she did not capture championship gold in AEW, Melo challenged Hikaru Shida for the AEW Women’s World Championship and formed the popular tag team known as TayJay alongside Anna Jay.
- Personal Milestones: Melo married fellow professional wrestler Sammy Guevara in August 2022, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Luna, in November 2023.
With her departure now finalized, Melo is officially a free agent and clear to sign with any promotion should she decide to resume her in-ring career.
