Tay Melo returns to AEW after two-year absence, making a dramatic comeback during the Fyter Fest edition of Dynamite on Wednesday. This marked her first appearance in over two years and significantly altered the night’s proceedings.
Surprise Intervention Amid Ongoing Rivalries
During the broadcast, Megan Bayne seemed ready to send Anna Jay off the stage. At that crucial moment, Tay Melo suddenly rushed to the scene. Her intervention renewed her previous partnership with Jay and instantly set the stage for chaos. Melo confronted Penelope Ford, who was with Bayne, before quickly getting drawn into a fierce physical altercation with Bayne herself.
Officials Step In as Tensions Escalate
As the confrontation intensified, AEW officials moved in to separate the competitors and bring some order to the area. Despite their efforts, Melo continued to taunt Bayne as she was being led away, fueling speculation about renewed rivalries within the AEW roster.
Background on Tay Melo’s Hiatus and Comeback
Tay Melo’s last match for AEW occurred in January 2023. She announced her pregnancy later that year at the Double or Nothing event, stepping away from wrestling as a result. Earlier in the year, Melo made a short appearance in STARDOM, hinting at a gradual return to action. Her actions at Fyter Fest now suggest her in-ring career is set to resume in earnest.
Implications for AEW Storylines
Melo’s return, particularly in support of her former tag partner Anna Jay, fits the history of their alliance within AEW. While it is still uncertain what her next storyline will be, her impactful comeback at Fyter Fest has already prompted speculation among fans and officials about potential new directions within the organization. The wrestling world now watches to see what her next move will be.
