As noted before, Tay Melo is currently expected to be granted her release from AEW soon following AEW CEO Tony Khan confirming in a media scrum this past Thursday that Melo had asked for her release recently and is expected to be stepping away from her wrestling career. Melo’s future in AEW had been in doubt following her husband and AEW talent Sammy Guevara removing all mentions of AEW in his Twitter bio earlier this week.
Bryan Alvarez reported in a recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Live that multiple people spoken to had told him that Melo had asked for her release several months ago and that it had been denied at the time in regards to his original report on Melo’s status with AEW.
In response to a question from co-host “Filthy” Tom Lawlor about why Melo would ask for a release if she is not planning to wrestle again, Alvarez responded stating that he speculates that Melo wants to wrestle elsewhere in the future. Alvarez also stated that “it would seem strange to want out of a contract that pays you guaranteed money every week to just not wrestle.”
Melo posted a cryptic video earlier today on Instagram that was implied by some fans online to be her talking about her current status in AEW and career in the company.
“I dreamed of having a pink tree, so I ordered one. It arrived at my house in a pot. Then we placed the pot near the irrigation system and waited for the guy to come plant it.
Days went by. He didn’t show up, and my tree started dying.
One morning, I looked at it, and it looked completely dead. I was so frustrated. I felt like I had wasted money, time, and my dreams.
But then my husband said, “Why don’t we try to save it? Don’t throw it away. Let’s water it a little more.”
So every day, on top of the automatic irrigation, we used the hose, giving it extra water. And then, yes, it did start to show signs of life, but it was not thriving.
Then I realized something: It didn’t just need more water. It needed to be planted where it was meant to grow.
So we planted it in the ground, and a few days later, this is my tree: beautiful, blooming, like it’s meant to be.
And you see, the tree only looked like it was dying because it was living in a place it was never meant to stay.
But don’t get me wrong. The pot wasn’t bad. In fact, the pot served a really important purpose. It protected the tree during the journey from the nursery to my home. But the pot was never meant to be its permanent home. The ground was.
Be grateful for the pot, but pay attention to the ground.
Have a good one.”
