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 had posted a cryptic video this past July on Instagram that was speculated by some fans online to be her talking about her issues with her time in the company.
Melo’s profile was recently removed from AEW’s roster page on their official website.
This is usually an indication of someone having departed from AEW and would officially be a free agent.
