Tay Melo: I Haven’t Retired Yet

Tay Melo says she isn’t retired.

In July, Tony Khan said he would grant Tay Melo’s release from All Elite Wrestling. According to Khan, Melo wanted to step away from AEW and wrestling.

On social media, a fan noted that Tay Melo had removed “wrestler” from her Instagram bio. The fan assumed this meant she is retired from professional wrestling, to which Melo responded.

“(translated) Nope, I haven’t retired yet.”

Nope, não me aposentei não.

Melo hasn’t wrestled in AEW since the June 6 episode of AEW Collision, where she teamed up with Anna Jay in a losing effort to Divine Dominion.

Her release hasn’t been confirmed by Khan or Melo herself yet.
