Tay Melo training for AEW in-ring return

Tay Melo is getting back in the ring to train for her in-ring AEW return.

In a social media post Monday, Melo noted that she is back training after missing more than a year of action, first due to a back injury, then taking time off for maternity leave. Melo and husband Sammy Guevara welcomed the birth of their first child last November. The couple announced their pregnancy at last year’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view.

In the post, Melo discussed how she feels as she returns to wrestling after more than a year away:

So happy to be able to be in the ring again. With a lot of patience I’ll get ready to be back, it’s a whole new body & I still feel so week inside.. I got frustrated a couple times, had to hold my tears and keep going. My body was my baby’s home for 40 weeks and now I’ll get stronger not just for me but for her too. It’s a long way to go but I’m closer than yesterday
