Tay Melo makes a thrilling comeback after two years with AEW!
On June 5, 2025, there was a surprising return at “AEW Fyter Fest”: Tay Melo returns to the ring after an absence of more than two years. Her comeback came at a dramatic moment when she came to the aid of her longtime friend and tag team partner Anna Jay, who was being attacked by Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford. Melo, who was last seen in an AEW match on January 13, 2023, intervened with a kendo stick and bravely stood up to the attackers.
Tay Melo stepped away from in-ring activity in early 2023 to focus on the birth of her daughter Luna, who was born on November 28, 2023. However, she did not remain idle during her absence. In May 2023, she announced her pregnancy with her husband Sammy Guevara during the Double or Nothing pay-per-view. Melo returned to wrestling in January 2023 at STARDOM's New Year Dream Event, however, this comeback was just the beginning of her return to AEW.
A new chapter in the ring
AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that Tay Melo will be back in the ring on June 11, 2025, alongside Anna Jay. This match will be their first in AEW since their hiatus in January 2023 and promises to be an exciting confrontation. Both wrestlers will face Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford in the AEW Summer Blockbuster, further heating up the rivalry in the women's division.
The match card for the summer blockbuster will also feature other top-class encounters. Here are some of the most important matches:
| match | Participant |
|---|---|
| Will Ospreay vs. Swerve Strickland | |
| “Timeless” Toni Storm vs. Julia Hart | Mercedes Mone comments |
| Queen Aminata vs. Thecla | |
| Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin & MJF vs. Kevin Knight, Komander & “Speedball” Mike Bailey | |
| Kyle Fletcher vs. Anthony Bowens | |
| Mistico vs TBA |
Another exciting aspect of the event will be the contract signing between Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada, which will announce a Winner Take All match at All In Texas. These developments show that AEW has exciting rivalries and return stories to offer in both the men's and women's divisions.
Fans are looking forward to the return of Tay Melo, who not only makes a significant comeback in AEW, but also plays an important role as part of TayJay, a tag team that has been active since July 2020. In the past, they reached the semifinals of the Women's Tag Team Cup and were part of the Jericho Appreciation Society (JAS), which adds an extra dimension to their return.
It will also be particularly interesting to see how the dynamic between the opponents develops, as Tay Melo is now returning as a babyface and was not involved in the latest developments within the JAS. Fans can look forward to an exciting time in AEW, which will be marked by the return of their favorites and exciting matches.
