Tay Melo expects to be cleared for AEW return in ‘a couple more months’
Tay Melo is hoping to return to the ring soon.
Melo hasn’t wrestled in AEW since a street fight with Anna Jay against Ruby Soho and Willow Nightingale on the January 11, 2023 edition of AEW Rampage. She spent a few months on the shelf with bulging discs in her back before announcing she was pregnant at AEW Double or Nothing 2023. Melo gave birth in November to a girl named Luna Melo Guevara, her first child with partner Sammy Guevara.
Last week Melo revealed she is training for a return to the ring. On Monday, she said she expects to be cleared in a couple of months.
“A couple more months until I’m cleared,” Melo wrote.
On May 24, Melo revealed in a social media post that she has not been cleared to take bumps yet.
“had a dream I was taking my first bump after baby,” she wrote. “not fun lol I’m not allowed to bump yet tho”
On May 20, Melo revealed she’s been training to make her return. She wrote, “So happy to be able to be in the ring again. With a lot of patience I’ll get ready to be back, it’s a whole new body & I still feel so week inside.. I got frustrated a couple times, had to hold my tears and keep going. My body was my baby’s home for 40 weeks and now I’ll get stronger not just for me but for her too. It’s a long way to go but I’m closer than yesterday.”
