As noted before, Tay Melo has been out of action for AEW since March of 2023 due to maternity leave reasons over the birth of her first child and was medically cleared for an in-ring return this past summer.
Melo provided an update earlier today on Twitter stating that she will be making her official in-ring return and official debut appearance for Stardom at their New Year Dream 2025 event on January 3, 2025 at the Tokyo Garden Theater in Tokyo, Japan.
Melo will be teaming up with Mina Shirakawa in a tag team match against Thekla & Athena at the event.
“After two long years, I’m finally back. I’m going to Japan, I’m going to Stardom.”
January 3rd, Mama is back !!!
