AEW granted Tay Melo an extended sabbatical following her pregnancy, recognizing that such life changes require time for adjustment. While her contract status remains unclear, Melo has been active on social media and managing things at home. Maternity leave can vary in duration, and her unique profession adds another layer of complexity, but she appears to be planning a return to the ring.

While Guevara has returned to AEW, currently enjoying the spotlight as one half of the ROH Tag Team Champions alongside Dustin Rhodes, Tay Melo’s return is still awaited. As the excitement grows, many fans are left wondering when they will see her back in action.
Sean Ross Sapp addressed Tay Melo’s status on Fightful Select, confirming that she is still on maternity leave but has been engaging in some training. Notably, she was seen in Jacksonville supporting Guevara during a match before a Jaguars game.
The wrestling world is eager to see what’s next for Tay Melo. Many wrestlers have successfully returned to the ring after having children, often coming back stronger than ever. Fans are left to speculate about her future in AEW and what impact she will make upon her return.
