Tay Melo gives big update on her AEW in-ring future after pregnancy announcement
AEW star Tay Melo has provided her fans with an update on her in-ring future following the huge announcement that she is expecting her first child with her husband, Sammy Guevara.
Tay and Sammy made the announcement at Double or Nothing before Guevara challenged for the AEW World Championship in the "Four Pillars Four-Way" against MJF, Jack Perry, and Darby Allin.
But what does her wrestling future look like? Speaking on her Instagram story with Sammy by her side, Tay Melo revealed that she wants to be back in the ring as soon as possible.
“Definitely not, I don’t understand why everybody thinks my career’s gonna be over because I’m gonna have a kid. I’m gonna be out the same amount as someone that has like an ACL injury or a surgery. I don’t understand. But, well, it’s not over, I’m coming back as soon as I can.” (H/T WrestleTalk)

Melo followed up by saying that becoming a mother at this time in her life will be extra motivation for her to get back in the ring, as she hopes to one day win a championship with her little one cheering her on.
“I don’t feel bad at all. Being a mom was always a dream of mine and I think it’s the perfect timing. And I feel like it’s gonna motivate me so much more to come back better and stronger. Imagine, just imagine with me, having a little one cheering for you in the crowd and you holding a belt?” (H/T WrestleTalk)
