Tay Melo returns at AEW Fyter Fest

Tay Melo made her AEW return on Wednesday’s Fyter Fest show following a two-year absence.

Melo made the save for Anna Jay as she was attacked by Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford during a segment on Wednesday’s four-hour Fyter Fest event.

While she returned to the ring for Stardom in January, Melo has been absent from AEW programming since 2023, first sidelined due to a back injury, then taking maternity leave as she welcomed her first child with husband Sammy Guevara. The couple announced their pregnancy at the 2023 Double or Nothing pay-per-view.

Melo’s last AEW match came in January 2023 where she teamed with Jay against Ruby Soho and Willow Nightingale in a tag team street fight on Rampage. She and Guevara teamed two months later on an indie show, then Melo was out of action until the Stardom tag bout this past January where she teamed with Mina Shirakawa against Thekla and ROH Women’s World Champion Athena.
