While being in a maternity hiatus, Tay Melo always spoke bravely of making a triumphant return on AEW Dynamite when the time would be right. As such, she wanted to prove herself to be a strong working mother. Now that she’s been inserted back into the storylines, she finds it hard to be back in the fold with her baby lying at home. Admittedly, she loves to be with her rather than being at her job.
While speaking on Sammy Guevara’s vlog, Tay Melo talked about how she felt during her return on AEW Dynamite, last week. In a brief appearance, she was admittedly tired, lost a nail, and didn’t really know how to feel. The Brazilian talent was happy to wrestle again, but she missed her daughter Luna and just wanted to go home.
“I lost a nail. I feel tired. I feel—I don’t know. I don’t know how to feel. I miss people so much, it’s such a different vibe. It’s like, I do want to do the matches and segments, but at the same time I miss Luna so much. I just wanna go home. It’s almost like I wish I could be in both places at once,” revealed Melo after resurfacing on AEW Dynamite after two years.
