Tay Melo is making her long-awaited return to the ring, and the former AEW standout couldn’t hold back her emotions when sharing the big news. In a heartfelt video posted shortly after STARDOM confirmed her in-ring comeback, Tay nearly broke down as she reflected on the two years it’s taken to get here.

“After two long years,” Tay began, her voice trembling as she tried to hold back tears. “I’m finally back.” The video captured an emotional side of the star, who’s been away from wrestling since March 2023 following the birth of her daughter, Luna Melo Guevara.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas gift,” she said, her joy palpable. “I’m going to Japan! I’m going to STARDOM, and I’m not going alone because I’m bringing my little mermaid with me.”

Tay’s return match is set for STARDOM’s New Year Dream show on January 3 at the Tokyo Garden Theater. She’ll team up with Mina Shirakawa to face ROH Women’s Champion Athena and Thekla in what promises to be an unforgettable moment for her career.
