As noted before, Tay Melo has been expected to be granted her release from AEW after AEW CEO Tony Khan had confirmed in a media scrum this past July 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 and ROH talent Sammy Guevara removing all mentions of AEW in his Twitter bio that same month.
In a recent response to a fan on Twitter, Melo stated that she is not retired from wrestling yet.
This fan noted that Melo had removed “wrestler” from her bio and assumed this meant that she is retired from wrestling. Melo responded back stating:
“Nope, I haven’t retired yet.”
Nope, não me aposentei não.
